As the Cape Ann Museum opens its newly renovated space with an exhibition of American Abstraction greats Mark Rothko, Milton Avery, and Adolph Gottlieb, it’s worth remembering their New York friend and colleague Joseph Solman, a leader of 20th‑century American Expressionism. In 1935, Solman, Rothko, and Gottlieb were all members of “The Ten,” a group that challenged New York museums’ resistance to European Expressionism. While Rothko and Gottlieb later shifted toward Abstraction, Solman spent his life creating Modernist works celebrated nationwide. On May 9, Heather Atwood will screen her Color of Light video on Solman, followed by a conversation with his son, Emmy Award–winning journalist Paul Solman.
