About the Exhibition: Dusti Bongé is recognized today as one of the foremost Southern modernist painters of the 20th century. A native of Biloxi, Mississippi, Bongé’s artwork reflects the artist’s roots in the Gulf South. Her paintings and drawings feature the imagery of the region, evolving throughout her lifetime to express the artist’s experiences, dreams, and visions, which were all closely tied to the natural world. The artist experimented widely throughout her career – exploring the movements of Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and many others. Her work is expressive and dynamic, encapsulating the viewer in the world of the artist.

The Walter Anderson Museum of Art is proud to partner with the Dusti Bongé Art Foundation on this exhibition. Artworks featured in the exhibition come from public and private collections in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Commission.

❤️ This Exhibition is Sponsored by:
Carl Rohrbacker, Dusti Bongé Art Foundation and Hollis Taggart
