The Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut is currently hosting an exhibition titled "Connecticut Modern: Art, Design, and the Avant-Garde, 1930-1960." Curated by Kenneth E. Silver, the exhibition explores the artistic community that emerged in the southwest corridor of Connecticut during this time period. Artists such as Alexander Calder, Marcel Breuer, Louise Bourgeois, and Yves Tanguy found inspiration in the state's natural charm and proximity to New York City. The exhibition features nearly 85 works, including sculptures by Calder and surrealist paintings by Tanguy, as well as a section on architecture and design influenced by Breuer. The exhibition provides a sociological exploration of the artistic community and its impact on American Surrealism, Magical Realism, Dada, and Midcentury Modern architecture and design.
