Intimate Modernism: Fort Worth Circle Artists in the 1940s

The Carter has published the first comprehensive book on the rise to prominence of the group of artists known as the Fort Worth Circle. Published in conjunction with the exhibition, this handsome catalogue chronicles the Circle’s distinctive output during the 1940s, the decade of their genesis and greatest innovation.

In addition to almost 130 full-color reproductions, the catalogue includes succinct biographies, accompanied by photographs, of each of the eleven artists of the Circle.

A gift to Fort Worth and a “must have” for any library of American modernism and the art of Texas, Intimate Modernism will remain the definitive source on the art and history of the Fort Worth Circle for years to come.
