Americans in Paris exhibition at the Grey Art Museum celebrates the convivial, informal education of expatriates in post-WWII France, highlighting artists' development and learning processes.
The exhibit devotes attention to abstract painting in Western Europe in the 1950s and '60s, amidst a changing landscape where the idea of expatriates, particularly from the Global South, is being redefined.
Americans in Paris features artists like Ed Clark and Beauford Delaney, shedding light on both recognized and overlooked talents in the art world, while emphasizing the role of the G.I. Bill in artists' education and growth.
