...experimentation with abstraction. The works are largely black and white sketches and studies on tan paper, though the traveling exhibit does include one finished canvas, providing a fitting conclusion to the “Contrast” series. Purely abstract pieces that study the relationships between curved and angular shapes line one wall. Facing these sketches are still-lifes and human figures that represent the application of Léger’s new artistic technique. Both the representational and abstract pieces are dominated by the tubular forms and contrasting colors that Léger’s work...

Naturally, Cubist work looks right at home here. Likewise the angular channels of Frank Stella's shaped canvases. Even Donald Judd's no-nonsense boxes look better with something to play against...
