Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925, on view at MoMA through April 15, chronicles the early years of abstraction in Europe and the United States. At the core of the exhibition is the idea that abstraction was not the result of individual genius, but rather arose from and spread through an international network of artists hanging out, collaborating, and sharing ideas during the years before and after World War I.

Rising Currents Revisited
Thanksgiving is reportedly the biggest travel week of the year, and from what I experienced this year, I would have to agree. The night before Thanksgiving Penn Station was shut down due to switch problems, forcing many to travel on Thanksgiving Day. I managed to get a seat as they quickly filled up around me.
