Now on View: From Gestures to Geometry

A vertical, abstract image with blue, green, peach, and black organic lines and shapes. Similar to an arial view of a landscape, or the outline of rivers on a map, the blue lines and curves create a grid-like structure. The watercolor and India ink flow and give an organic look with "rivers" or "ponds" throughout the image.

Looking at abstract art from across all media, this Now on View post explores From Gestures to Geometry, on view through September 6. Curatorial Intern, Larry Festa, introduces us to early members of the American Abstract Artist organization. Read on to learn about these influential artists and their work!
