Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State opened A Way Through: Abstract Art of the 1940's examining the evolution of abstract art in America.  Major works by Suzy Frelinghuysen and George L.K. Morris are on view along with fellow American Abstract Artists.  The group was formed in l936 in New York and was a precursor to the New York School and Abstract Expressionism.  These midcentury artists experimented with a broad range of abstraction and new modes of visual expression. A Way Through was made possible through a partnership formed by the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of the Art Bridges Initiative.  The exhibit is on view through May 15, 2022.
