ISBN: 9780935314892.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaguna Art Museum is proud to organize the first comprehensive exhibition of the work of a key figure in twentieth-century California art, Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999).\nFeaturing approximately sixty to seventy paintings, it will survey Lundebergs career systematically, beginning with her landmark Post-Surrealist paintings of the 1930s. With her teacher and later husband Lorser Feitelson, she organized the Post-Surrealist group, the first of its kind in the United States, and wrote its manifesto. Though exploring psychology and personal expression, the Post-Surrealists aimed to bring a greater sense of order and control to European Surrealism and originally styled themselves New Classicists. By the late 1950s Lundeberg was working on a larger scale. She simplified her style into broad, flat areas of color and, though never a pure abstractionist, played a key part in the \"hard-edge\" tendency in mid-century painting. Bringing de Chirico-like ambiguities of space to architectural and landscape compositions, she preserved the enigmatic mood of her earlier, surrealistic imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666206875701,"sku":"ByrdShop_093531489X","price":38.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780935314892_9e6485dc-52f4-4340-a7da-866ba09170dd.jpg?v=1782469212","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/helen-lundeberg-a-retrospective-9780935314892","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
