Morris, Irene Rice-Pereira, Judith Rothschild, Jacques Villon Rosenberg & Co. is pleased to present a set of joint exhibitions celebrating geometric compositions, Variations of Geometric Abstraction, and Tom John. Simultaneously shown, the exhibitions pursue the pathways of geometric abstraction through the multitude of modernist and post-modernist artistic movements and culminate in a celebration of a contemporary artist whose oeuvre masterfully epitomizes the variations of geometric styles developed during the previous century. On the upper floor, a group exhibition entitled Variations of Geometric Abstraction features 20 exemplary artists from the 20th century. Highlighting paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, the exhibition chronologically traces the course of Modernist abstraction through a series of remarkable geometric compositions. Opening with the formative landscape Étude pour Puteaux, No. 3 (1912) by Jacques Villon, one of the founders of the Puteaux Group, the exhibition traverses through Cubist paintings, Futurist works on paper, and Constructivist sculptures into the materially focused compositions of the post-war period.
