L.A. in S.B. II: A Postwar & Contemporary Exhibition
Who can be counted among the first abstract artists in the exhibition? Emerson Woelffer, Ynez Johnston, Peter Krasnow, Leonard Edmondson, and Edgar Ewing. These artists brought with them a rich diversity of avant garde ideas from around the world. They were trained at places like U.C. Berkeley and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and they taught in L.A. at Chouinard (CalArts), Otis, USC, Cal State L.A., and Pasadena City College. They exhibited and were collected nationally. Their styles ran the gamut from Post Cubist Abstraction to Abstract Surrealism to Abstract Expressionism. In the rich soil of their efforts was grown the next generation of some of L.A.鈥檚 art superstars.
