Work Description: 
This black and white photograph depicts an installation view of the exhibition “New York School: The First Generation, Paintings of the 1940s and 1950s” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. On the far left, Clyfford Still's PH-222 (1955-56) hangs adjacent to Robert Motherwell's "Pancho Villa, Dead and Alive" (1943). Motherwell's "Elegy to the Spanish Republic XXXVB" (1953) occupies the front-facing wall to the right. Proceeding clockwise, Motherwell's "A Sculptor's Picture with Blue" (1958) and "Jour la Maison, Nuit la Rue, cropped" (1957) line the wall at the photograph's edge. In the background, a portion of Barnett Newman's "Tundra" (1950, cropped) appears beyond two benches. On view June 18 through August 1, 1965, the exhibition featured artworks by fifteen first-generation Abstract Expressionists. An average of eight paintings per artist demonstrated the influence and evolution of the New York School during the 1940s and 1950s.
