Herbert Bayer

June 2018 – June 2019

Herbert Bayer: Mountains and Convolutions, 1944 – 1953, an exhibition featuring 28 of the artist’s most dynamic compositions, was presented in the Resnick Gallery in the Doerr-Hosier Building at the Aspen Institute. Organized by Bernard Jazzar, a leading authority on the work of this influential, Austrian-born artist, the exhibition focuses on a rich body of work Bayer produced during a seminal period in his career.  Painting his landscapes in the years following the upheavals and dislocations of World War II, Bayer sought solace and inspiration in nature.
