With Woodmere docent, Jacquie Mahon, spend time closely looking at the beautiful explosion of shapes and colors in Abstract Bouquet by Arthur B. Carles at Woodmere’s Maguire Hall. Learn more about still lifes, the abstract art movement, as well as early masters of these art forms.
Born in Philadelphia, Carles had a staggering impact on the development of American modernism and abstract painting both through his own work and his role as a teacher. He was a powerful and controversial instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts who embraced the modern age and introduced his students to the work and ideas of the European avant-garde.
