Sept. 1-Nov. 1, 2024 CW American Modernism Los Angeles, CA By appointment t: (310) 383-0463 cwamericanmodernism@gmail.com www.cwamericanmodernism.com.
Bringing together nine artists and 30 bodies of work, CW American Modernism, based in Los Angeles, presents the special exhibition, The Neo Immaculates. The title, coined by the gallery, encapsulates a unique style that’s clean and minimalistic, “with clearly defined lines and smooth—almost machinelike—surfaces,” describes gallery owner, Chris Walther.

These artists, producing from the 1960s through the 80s, were once referred to as “new realist” or “synthetic realist,” but the term “neo immaculate” seemed most appropriate to the gallery, since these artists are heirs to the Immaculate School, a label used in the 1920s as an alternative to precisionism. “We’ve been interested in how the practices of these artists morphed over time, as well as how two subsequent generations of artists picked up the mantle of the precisionists to create a new form of synthetic realism that was also influenced by pop art, hard-edge abstraction, surrealism and even minimalism,” says Walther.

Norman Rockwell - The most recently acquired piece, "Whig and Tory", executed in 1938 by the famous American painter and illustrator, Norman Rockwell, was hosted at the Norman Rockwell Museum
Recently hosted at the Norman Rockwell Museum, closing in June, was the exhibition Mystery and Wonder: Highlights from the Illustration Collection. Within the collection was the museum’s highlight, and the most recently acquired piece, Whig and Tory, executed in 1938 by the famous American painter and illustrator, Norman Rockwell (18941978). This oil on canvas illustration is quite significant in that it remained unpublished in any magazines the artist was known for working with—most famously The Saturday Evening Post.
