Chagall Moore and Matulay: Three Influential Modernists
July 29 – October 9, 2005
Chagall, Moore & Matulay: Three Influential Modernists' comprised the work of three visionary men who experienced revolution, world wars, and social upheaval. Marc Chagall, among the most eminent of 20th century modern artists, is recognized for his color lithography of dreamlike imagery. The Story of the Exodus, a portfolio consisting of 24 hand-colored lithographs is featured along with the work of two of his contemporaries, Abstract Symbolist Henry Moore and the 20th century illustrator Laszlo Matulay. Like Chagall, Moore is known for his lithographs and etchings and followed a Symbolist's search for beauty, having been known to return to familiar themes. Although much less known than his contemporaries, Laszlo Matulay's body of work represented in this exhibit encompasses his complex heritage and lifelong struggle to become a professional artist.
