The early 1940s in New York was the site of important interactions between European art and artists and the origins of what would later be termed “American-type” painting and sculpture. Through close looking and discussion, join us to explore several significant encounters between “pure psychic automatism,” dream imagery, abstraction, and the found object in American art around 1940.
Join us for lively conversations and engaging activities, facilitated by Museum educators, that offer insightful and unusual ways to engage with MoMA’s collection and special exhibitions.
