"From Picasso to Pollock" highlights the history of the aesthetic vanguard from early Modernism through Abstract Expressionism. With distinctive focus yet remarkable comprehensiveness, "From Picasso to Pollock" unites the major artists and developments of the first half of the 20th century through significant examples of non-objective, Cubist, Surrealist, Expressionist, and Abstract Expressionist painting and sculpture. A deep and broad assembly of masterpieces has been chosen from the Guggenheim's formative collection, and through it the viewer may perceive the era of Modern art emerging in all its diversity and complexity. Included here are reproductions of and short texts on seminal works by Brancusi, Braque, Chagall, de Kooning, Delaunay, Ernst, Fontana, Kandinsky, Klee, Lager, Malevich, Matisse, MirA, Modigliani, Mondrian, Popova, and Schiele. Narrative biographies on a number of these artists are included, as well as a short, illustrated history of the collection by Lisa Dennison. "From Picasso to Pollock" is the second in a trilogy from the Guggenheim which highlights the greatest strengths of the museum's collection. The first title, "Moving Pictures," showcased contemporary photography and video, and the third, "Primary Forms," considered Minimalism, Conceptualism, and their more contemporary progeny.
