Organized by Curator of Prints and Drawings George Roland, the exhibition is comprised of more than 100 works by artists including Josef Albers, Alexander Calder, Max Ernst, Stanley Hayter, Howard Hodgkin, Fernand Leger, Joan Miró, Robert Motherwell, Bridget Riley and Andy Warhol. The pieces have been selected from the Museum’s holdings of more than 7,000 works on paper. “Many members of the public even today are finding abstract art to be mysterious and not easy to understand or appreciate,” said Roland. “This exhibition explores the ways artists respond to the challenge of making abstract art. In printmaking, for example, it is impossible to prepare a matrix without a vision of what the resulting image will look like. What does the artist see before producing an abstract work on paper?” The mission of the New Orleans Museum of Art is to inspire the love of art; to collect, preserve, exhibit and present excellence in the visual arts; to educate, challenge and engage a diverse public.
