Description

Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of jazz and abstract art at the 'American Duet: Jazz & Abstract Art' exhibition. Hosted at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, this exhibition features over 50 works by 30 modern and contemporary African American artists. Curated from the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, the exhibition showcases a visual symphony of harmonies, colors, skats, bops, strokes, and riffs. Begin your journey by exploring the convergence of jazz and abstract art, two essential art forms that rose to prominence in the 20th century. Marvel at the works of renowned artists such as Moe Brooker, Charles Burwell, Beauford Delaney, and many more. Each piece reflects the spontaneous, vibrant, and improvisational characteristics of jazz, translated into visual art. As you move through the gallery, you'll experience the dialogue between the expressive visual language of abstract artists and the complex rhythmic compositions of jazz musicians. The exhibition is designed to evoke the fresh rhythms and energy of jazz music, with artists often listening to jazz while creating their works or even bringing their materials to jazz clubs.
