Mixed Reviews: Utah Art at Mid-Century
Last day to celebrat
e mid-century modern art, culture, and design with us in this fun and
playful exhibition!
In the years following WWII critics, artists, a
nd aficionados in mid-century Utah debated the role and merits of Modern
art. Some argued for the traditional and beautiful, while others champ
ioned the turn to abstract styles and subjects. Ultimately, they argued
, the viewer should be the judge. Good art, they claimed, could be de
termined by the viewer. In Mixed Reviews we’ve recreated the world of
mid-century Utah art, showing artworks by both traditional and modern a
rtists working in Utah c1946-1960. In addition to almost 70 artworks, t
he exhibition includes two galleries of mid-century interior design and
decorative arts curated and designed by cityhome COLLECTIVE's Cody Derri
ck and Kelly Carper.
