Brilliant! Pairing Continuity and Influence Featuring Tom Hammick
Minneapolis Institute of Art
3 December 2016 - 6 August 2017
This exhibition celebrates the artistic possibilities and inherent beauty of exuberant color. The show offers a fresh way to view and consider Mia’s collection of Native, modern, and contemporary art. In the 20th century, many artists in the United States and Europe sought to make their works pure expressions of form and color. Native American art significantly influenced such modern art—which in turn had an effect on contemporary Native art. Here, the complex, cutting-edge character of Native art is boldly presented.
