ACME Fine Art and Design's next gallery event
will be the opening of a group exhibition titled PIONEERS OF MODERNISM:
Agnes Weinrich, Grace Martin Taylor, & Blanche Lazzell. The
exhibition will feature more than twenty works by these highly
regarded modern artists. The show will open with a reception on
Thursday 17 November 2005 from six to eight o'clock, and will run
through Friday 23 December 2005.
Weinrich, Taylor, and Lazzell were important
players in the avant-garde art scene that flourished in Provincetown
Massachusetts early in the last century. Each of these well-trained
and highly educated women was skilled in drawing and painting,
and they were among the earliest advocates/practitioners of white
line wood-block ("Provincetown") print-making. They shared
a mutual interest in abstraction that was often derived from cubism,
and these formal characteristics are consistently evident in their
work regardless of medium. ACME Fine Art's exhibition will include
important oil paintings, drawings, watercolors, white line wood
block prints, and some rarely seen wood blocks that were hand-carved
by the artists as a part of their print-making process.
ACME Fine Art's PIONEERS OF MODERNISM will be
viewable on this site and at the gallery located at 38 Newbury
Street in Boston. Gallery hours are from 11:00 to 5:30 Tuesday
though Saturday. Further information can be obtained by contacting
the gallery at info@acmefineart.com or
