"Jackson Pollock, Robert Frank, and the New American Vision: Drawings and Photographs from the Fo"
2000-03-25 until 2000-06-25
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Houston, TX, USA United States of America

This exhibition presents drawings and photographs from the MFAH collection that reflect the energy, anxiety, and rootlessness of the postwar era through a distinctly new American style called Abstract Expressionism. This style was the first American art movement to achieve international stature. A major focus of this exhibition is a suite of nine complex drawings that Jackson Pollock created just before the seminal years of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Other artists featured here are William Baziotes, Arshile Gorky, Adolph Gottlieb, Ellsworth Kelly, and Franz Kline.

In photography, Harry Callahan, Nathan Lyons, Aaron Siskind, and Minor White followed diverse paths in the pursuit of abstraction. Robert Frank radicalized photographic vision both by selecting a new subject matter and by developing a rough and highly charged vision. Abandoning conventional beauty, he photographed mundane scenes of America's urban and roadside life.
