D. Wigmore Fine Art, Inc. is pleased to announce our new exhibition "Emil Bisttram & Raymond Jonson: Founders of the Transcendental Painting Group". The exhibition of 30 canvases and works on paper shows how their art was shaped by the landscape and Native people of the Southwest. Our exhibition presents the journey Raymond Jonson (1891-1982) and Emil Bisttram (1895-1976) took from realism to abstraction. The two joined together in 1938 to found the Transcendental Painting Group that raised them to national fame. By 1938, Jonson and Bisttram had both progressed to full abstraction for the purpose of carrying paintings beyond the physical world through new concepts of space, color, light, and design.

The exhibition will continue through August. You can find the entire exhibition at dwigmore.com.
