21 Sep, 2013 - 01 Jun, 2014
American art of the 1940s and 鈥�50s was dominated by the gestural style known as Abstract Expressionism. In love with spontaneity and happy accidents, and favoring inspiration from the subconscious, artists invented a highly original American art language that triumphed internationally. 鈥淎merican Gestures鈥� features drawings, prints, paintings, and sculpture from the late 1940s to the 鈥�70s by Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, David Smith, Mark Tobey, Alfred Leslie, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and a number of others.
