This landmark exhibition of sixty paintings and works on paper by members of Canada’s first truly avant-garde art movement, the Automatistes, is organized by the Varley Art Gallery in Unionville, Ontario. Its presentation at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery will represent the first extensive retrospective of the work of this group of Canadian abstract artists to be shown in the United States. Curated by Roald Nasgaard, Professor of Art History at Florida State University, the exhibition will include the work of Paul-Émile Borduas, and Fernand Leduc.
In Buffalo, the exhibition will be contextualized by an installation organized by Associate Curator Holly E. Hughes of works from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s collection designed to illuminate the connections and relationships between these Canadian artists and their European and American counterparts.
