Andrew Simpson, pianist
East Building Concourse, Auditorium
Barry, founder of the film department at the Museum of Modern Art, was instrumental in first focusing the attention of American audiences on film as an art form. Born in Britain, she was also one of the first female film critics and a founder of the London Film Society. This program re-creates one of the events that Barry staged at the Wadsworth Athenaeum in Hartford in the 1930s. The program includes avant-garde shorts by Walter Ruttmann, Ivor Montagu, Viking Eggeling, Hans Richter, Charles Sheeler, and a Silly Symphony by Walt Disney.

| | | |  This beautifully written and richly illustrated catalogue, featuring contributions by leading scholars, illuminates in new ways how critical the first wave of American modernists was to the creation and development of an avant-garde visual culture in the United States and Europe during the twentieth century. The history is told through the collection of Edward and Deborah Shein, one of the nation's foremost private collections of early American modernist works. Formed with remarkable acumen over the past decade, the Shein Collection is distinguished by its rigorous focus on prominent artists from the first generation of American modernists and by the extraordinarily high quality of the paintings, sculptures, and drawings it contains.
