Many of the artists, including John Ferren, Irene Rice Pereira, George L. K. Morris and Albert E. Gallatin had lived in Europe where they were exposed to the latest developments in modern art. In Paris, they met and in some cases exhibited with such important abstract artists as Mondrian, Kandinsky, Leger and Malevich. A 200-page book with more than 100 color illustrations will accompany the exhibition. The book will be available for sale at the Wake Forest Fine Arts Gallery. Published by Harry N. Abrams Inc., it will be released across the country this fall.
Admission is free to the exhibit and opening reception.
