NEW EXHIBITION EXPLORES ABSTRACT ART

The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University presents an exhibition titled Form, Line, and Color: Selected Works of Abstraction in the Permanent Collection on view from May 14–Aug. 13 in the Chi Omega–Hargis Gallery.
The exhibition will showcase recent acquisitions alongside older favorites and feature works that illustrate modern artists’ range of expression as it diverges from a desire to faithfully reproduce visible reality.
Abstract, nonobjective, and nonrepresentational are elusive terms used to describe a loose continuum that moves from subjective representations of the world we inhabit to artwork that bears no naturalistic references.
Paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture by both modern masters and emerging artists––including John Cage, David Lynch, Larry Poons and Robert Rauschenberg––compose this selection of compelling works sure to engage the mind and sooth the soul this summer.

Serving as the gateway into Auburn University, the museum has a wide-ranging permanent collection, which includes more than 100 Audubon prints, Tibetan bronzes dating from as early as the 15th century and works by important American modern artists, such as Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe and Lyonel Feininger. The museum rotunda features a three-tiered, hand-blown glass chandelier created especially for the space by internationally renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly.
