Late Modern
The generation after the '43 Group, each on their own path rather than under a single banner, and the first to bring abstraction to the island. Once the Group's founders had scattered, a wider circle of painters and sculptors carried the modern idea through the decades that followed, some who had shown with it in its last years, some who never touched it.
“The work of art is beautiful only when it is a bridge between generations.”
