Crosscurrents makes a significant contribution to the study of modernism. Featuring a wide array of modern and contemporary artists, including Richard Diebenkorn, Georgia O Keeffe, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, and Wayne Thiebaud, it provides a vital insight into the way the rise of modernism in the mid-twentieth century shaped the art world forever.
In her essay 'Breaking the Rules' Virginia M. Mecklenburg, chief curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, documents the rise of modernism in America, as the boundaries between European and American art and culture continued to break down and merge throughout the twentieth century.

Hardback. Etat : New. . Features works by some of the 20th-century's leading artists, including Georgia O'Keeffe, Alexander Calder, David Hockney, Wayne Thiebaud, Richard Diebenkorn, Jackson Pollock and Roy Lichtenstein Combining outstanding artworks and engaging text, this striking book captures many of the defining moments of modernism. It features over 80 innovative paintings and sculptures by key artists of the 20th-century-all from the outstanding collection of Sam Rose and Julie Walters. Picasso, Miro, O'Keeffe, Pollock, and Warhol created art that defined cubism, surrealism, American modernism, abstract expressionism, and pop. The crosscurrents and intersections that give modernism its complexity and energy are further revealed in works by artists as diverse as Neel, Bearden, Lichtenstein, Stella, Hockney, and Diebenkorn. Why and how 20th-century artists broke the rules and transformed the look of art is the subject of Virginia Mecklenburg's introductory essay. Each work is then superbly illustrated and discussed through such themes as portraiture, nature, metaphor, and social engagement. All of the paintings and sculptures are clearly positioned within the context of the artist's career. These insightful explorations of the works of 33 inventive artists illuminate the wider arc of modernism. Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title, on view at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from October 30, 2015-April 3, 2016.
