American Modernism: 20th Century Influencers in Rockland

American Modernism: 20th Century Influencers in Rockland presents art by luminaries who lived in Rockland County from the 1910s through the 1960s. Modernism presented a radical break with the rigid structures of the past, prompting a search for new forms of expression that fostered a period of experimentation in the arts. This exhibition explores preeminent artists from all disciplines and how they brought Modernist thinking and influences to Rockland County—and American masterpieces to the larger world. Today, the impact of these innovators continues to reverberate on both a local and international scale.
