This collection
is inspired by the recent exhibition at the Phillips Collection in Washington,
DC, Ten Americans: After Paul Klee. In particular work by William Baziotes
figured prominently and was the starting point for our own list: Klee,
Baziotes, Howard Daum, Dorothy Dehner, Peter Grippe, Stanley William Hayter,
Fannie Hillsmith, Hugh Mesibov, Anne Ryan, and Mark Tobey.

| Peter Grippe, The City, 13th Street, Nabisco Crackers(NYC), 1943 |
The Phillips
show explored key aspects of Klee’s oeuvre that drew American artists working
in abstraction: interest in the art of indigenous cultures, the power of
symbolic language, and the tapping into the unconscious.
An exhibition
of Klee's work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1930 assured that his work was
known to the American audience.
Work by
Baziotes was also shown in a similar context in From Motherwell to Hofmann: The
Samuel Kootz Gallery, 1945-1966, at the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase
College, NY.
