Chicago Art Week | Alma Thomas + Beyond Boundaries: Three Decades of Chinese Contemporary Art Walkthrough at the Smart Museum

Gertie is back at the Smart Museum!

‍

Join us for back to back guided walkthroughs at the museum, taking in the vibrant, color drenched canvases of pioneering American modernist Alma Thomas alongside the bold, boundary pushing works featured in Beyond Boundaries: Three Decades of Chinese Contemporary Art.

‍

From Thomas's joyful abstraction, rooted in the rhythms of nature and the spirit of the civil rights era, to the sweeping creative transformation documented across three decades of Chinese contemporary practice, these exhibitions together offer a rare window into art as a force for reinvention.
