Color, line, form, and feeling were pushed in bold new directions as painters searched for fresh ways to see and interpret the world. This series highlights artists and works that reflect some of the most influential movements that followed, from the luminous dots of Pointillism and the emotional force of Abstract Expressionism to the elegance of Modern Linear Style and the dreamlike visions of Surrealism.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"221\">Held in the cozy, historic Pump House Studio, each evening offers a complete creative experience.
