EARLY YEARS

Ensemble

This section reflects on the part of the exhibition that focuses on the early work of Dorothy Iannone. It follows Dorothy's journey as she moves to New York alongside her husband, James Upham. As they settle into their new life, Dorothy starts to experiment with painting. To create her unique Expressionist compositions, sometimes she discards conventional brushes in favour of her own fingers as tools. Slowly but surely, her canvases start to come alive, with figurative elements and more concrete shapes.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
