Featuring more than 100 works of art drawn from public and private collections across the country, it brings together a generation’s worth of scholarship. Structured around key themes that cut across state lines it takes an inclusive view of the artists working in the region.

Mobile Museum of Art presents Spotlight: Dusti Bongé, an exhibition presented by the American South Consortium exploring themes that speak to our nation’s shared histories and diverse regional identities.
The first of four Spotlight exhibitions from the American South Consortium, funded by a grant from the Art Bridges Foundation, will open March 23, 2023, at the Mobile Museum of Art. Featured will be paintings and works on paper by Mississippi’s first Modernist artist, Dusti Bongé. Bongé, born Eunice Lyle Swetman in 1903, lived and painted in Biloxi, Mississippi and exhibited her work in New York and New Orleans. She experimented with abstract art, surrealism, and abstract expressionism, for which she is most known. Bongé led an unorthodox life and career in relative obscurity. Her work is now receiving the recognition it deserves as equal to that of other well-known abstract expressionists, among them Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. |

Hollis Taggart is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition From Provincial Status to International Prominence: American Art of the 1950s, featuring over 30 artists who experimented with new styles during the seismic formation of the New York School in the post-war decade of the 1950s. In the aftermath of World War II, as the epicenter of the international avant-garde shifted from Paris to the United States, a loose group of American artists came to be known variously as Abstract Expressionists, the action painters, or the New York School. They sought to reconceptualize painting entirely, and Abstract Expressionism became the first uniquely American movement to garner international stature. Influenced by post-war theories of existentialism as well as the automatist tenets of European Surrealism, these artists attempted to externalize their psyche to express shared, universal ideals.
