How Gertrude Abercrombie and her Magic Realist cohorts shifted the dial on American Regionalism

A new exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum, 'Gertrude and Friends: The Wisconsin Magic Realists,' highlights a group of artists active in the Midwest from the early 1940s who challenged the dominant American Regionalism aesthetic. The show features 17 works by artists including John Wilde, Karl Priebe, Sylvia Fein, Marshall Glasier, and Dudley Huppler, who were friends and correspondents of the eccentric painter Gertrude Abercrombie (1909-77). The exhibition is designed as a companion to a major Abercrombie retrospective that is currently touring the United States, having originated at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Art and now on view at the Colby College Museum of Art.
