Collecting Modernism

In an exhibition of exceptional quality and breadth, nineteen paintings and four sculptures by the great innovators of the first half of the twentieth century from the collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute of Utica, New York will travel to Muncie. This is one of only two venues for this collection, which has never been seen outside of its home institution. The collection, assembled for the most part in the 1950s and published here for the first time, includes work by Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Jean Arp, Ernst Barlach, Georges Braque, Salvador Dali, Giorgio de Chirico, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Lyonel Feininger, Juan Gris, Paul Klee, Fernand Leger, Aristide Maillol, Piet Mondrian, and Henry Moore. The collection is a vital survey of the major movements in the development of modern art in Europe in the first half of the twentieth century, with excellent examples of Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, Surrealism, and DeStijl.
