Exhibition: Miró/Dubuffet/Basquiat March 13, 2010

Works by Joan Miró, Jean Dubuffet and Jean-Michel Basquiat are shown together for the first time. The artists do not share generation nor culture, but they do share a confrontational antagonism to the traditional and academic, resulting in art that is raw, bold and forthright. Primal symbols characterize their work in personalized types of graffiti that exist in a timeless, unidentifiable space. In the work of these artists, signs and color erupt in a free association of structure and rhythm; the mysterious act of painting is shown as wild and free, yet also very exacting.
