Miro/Dubuffet/Basquiat May 13, 2010

Shown together for the first time, Joan Miro, Jean Dubuffet and Jean-Michel Basquiat shared a confrontational antagonism to the traditional and academic. Their art is raw, bold and forthright, characterized by primal symbols in personalized types of graffiti that exist in a timeless, unidentifiable space. In the work of these artists, signs and color erupt in a free association of structure and rhythm; the mysterious act of painting is shown as wild and free, yet also very exacting.
