Description

The diagram maps the relationships among the artists represented in the Museum of Modern Art’s Exhibition “Inventing Abstraction,” all of whom played a significant role in the development of a new modern language for the arts. Vectors connect individuals whose acquaintance with one another during these years could be documented; the names in red are those with the most connections within this group.
