203 Fine Art is pleased to present Second Wave: The Beginning of a Post-War Era, an exhibition exploring the enduring impact artists supported by the GI Bill had on the evolving artistic scene of Taos, New Mexico, in the years following World War II. 

 

The Second Wave artists not only advanced Modernism but also infused it with a distinctive spirit— reflective, radical, and deeply connected to place. Taos itself became a magnet for these post-war innovators. Second Wave traces the development of these veterans into internationally recognized artists, featuring paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by Emil Bisttram, Norman Bluhm, Lawrence Calcagno, John Chamberlain, Richard Diebenkorn, Frederick Hammersley, and more.
