"The Independent Eye Contemporary British Art from the Collection of Samuel and Gabrielle Lurie" Exhibition
Flowers
This event has ended.
Spanning four decades, this collection of British art boasts a group of artists who are united in producing powerful, memorable presences. Each has a determination to explore the miracles of color and a commitment to make abstract art that is meaningful, visually arresting and emotionally involving.Originating at the Yale Center for British Art, The Independent Eye has generated an enthusiastic response from both patrons and critics. In the Wall Street Journal, Karen Wilkin writes that the exhibition “is an exhilarating, sharply focused…survey, deep but selective core sampling of the generation of British artists whose exuberant art seems to defy their youthful experience of World War II and the deprivations of the postwar period.” She praisesCaulfield’s canvas "Wine Bar" as a “masterpiece with one foot in the photographic and the commercial and the other in international High Modernism.”
