Blanche Lazzell: American Modernist Exhibition Opens at Bruce Museum

The art scene continues to thrive with notable exhibitions and retrospectives highlighting the works of influential artists. Compton Verney has become a hub for miniature portraits, showcasing over 800 pieces from the Dumas Egerton Trust Collection, emphasizing the historical significance and intimacy of these small artworks. In New York, a posthumous exhibition dedicated to Richard Mayhew features his 'mindscapes,' reflecting his unique approach to landscapes and emotions. Meanwhile, Gertrude Abercrombie's surrealist art gains renewed attention, celebrating her distinctive dreamlike style and vibrant life in Chicago's jazz scene. Additionally, Blanche Lazzell's pioneering contributions to American modernism are being recognized in her first major exhibition in nearly two decades, tracing her artistic evolution from her education in the U.S. and Paris to her influence in Provincetown. These showcases not only honor individual legacies but also contribute to the broader narrative of art history.
