A collection of archival prints by members of the American Abstract Artists group, a forerunner to the New York School and Abstract Expressionism, will be on display in the Marsh Gallery from Jan. 26 through March 11.

American Abstract Artists (AAA) was founded in New York City in 1936 to combat mainstream opposition to abstract art at a time when it was heavily criticized. The organization has hosted hundreds of exhibitions and served as an active forum for discussion and exhibition, assisting greatly in the development and acceptance of abstract art in America. It is one of the few artists’ groups from the Great Depression era that is still active today.

This exhibition is organized by the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and is supported by the Creative Motif Fund in New York.

Participating artists are Alice Adams, Liz Ainslie, Steven Alexander, Siri Berg, Emily Berger, Jeffrey Bishop, Susan Bonfils, Power Boothe, Henry Brown, Kenneth Bushnell, Jacob Cartwright, Rob de Oude, Gabriele Evertz, Laurie Fendrich, Joanne Freeman, Gart Golkin, John Goodyear, Gail Gregg, James Gross, Lynne Harlow, Mara Held, Pinkney Herbert, Daniel G.
