NEW YORK CITY — “Armando Reverón” will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art through February 11–April 16 in the International Council of The Museum of Modern Art Gallery, sixth floor.

This first US retrospective exhibition of the groundbreaking Venezuelan artist Armando Reverón (1889–1954) introduces his work to international audiences. Beginning in the early 1920s, Reverón painted coastal landscapes with monochromatic palettes imitative of the bright white light of the seashore. These highly tactile paintings are unique in early Modernism, and seem to anticipate later monochromatic abstract art.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalog, the first major publication on Reverón in English. This exhibition is organized by The Museum of Modern Art in cooperation with the Fundación Museos Nacionales of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the Proyecto Armando Reverón, Caracas.

The Museum of Modern Art is at 11 West 53rd Street. For information, www.moma.org or 212-708-9400.
