THE NEW HUMANISTS: INTROSPECTIVE IMPRESSIONS
October 27, 2022–January 8, 2023
Public reception: Thursday, November 10 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. with members of the Cedar Valley String Trio performing in the gallery.
This traveling exhibition organized by the Syracuse University Art Museum, examines the swell of post-World War II visual artists making work rooted in the psychological state of humanity: through introspection, observation and reflection. Heavily influenced by German Expressionism, Surrealism, and the Social Realism of the 1930s, these artists sought to elicit the viewer with an emotional response- to question how we see ourselves and the world around us. Included in the exhibition is the work of Leonard Baskin, Robert Marx, Mauricio Lasansky, Nancy Grossman, Jacob Landau, Don Cortese, Jack Levine, Fredrico Castellón and José Luis Cuevas.
