Joel Meyerowitz, ‘Temporal Aspects’ and Jacqueline de Jong, ‘Vicious Circles’ — NSU Art Museum
Just north of Miami in Fort Lauderdale, the NSU Art Museum presents two icons — one of photography, one of painting. Known for embracing colour photography in the early 1960s, Joel Meyerowitz captured fleeting moments in vibrant, vividly precise images. Temporal Aspects, which draws on the museum’s recent acquisition of 1,800 works from his archive, guides visitors through a chronological journey of his oeuvre with a focus on the role of time in his work. Alongside, Vicious Circles marks the first US survey of the late artist Jacqueline de Jong, a key figure in postwar European avant-garde. Known for merging art with politics, De Jong’s expressive, humour-filled paintings address themes of war, power and protest. The exhibition explores her radical legacy as an artist, editor and publisher.
