This title was first published in 2002. The Park Avenue Cubists
explores the work of a group of American artists committed to the
belief that American abstraction could make a unique contribution
to the evolution of the visual experiments begun by the European
Modernists. All were inspired by the work of Braque, Picasso, Gris
and Leger which they witnessed at first hand during repeated trips
to Paris. Dubbed the 'Park Avenue Cubists' for the wealth and
social status that enabled them to promote their own work and
patronise that of their fellow members of the American Abstract
Artists (AAA), the group included Albert Eugene Gallatin, George
L.K. Morris, Suzy Frelinghuysen and Charles G. Shaw. Featuring
essays by Debra Bricker Balken and Robert S. Lubar on the group's
place in the history of modern art, along with individual studies
of the four artists and an appendix bringing together the key
statements written by the artists themselves, this volume provides
the first in-depth study of the group.
