Gallery artist Dusti Bongé's work Sails (c. 1955) is included in the group exhibition Knowing Who We Are: The Rise of Abstraction Vernacular Art and Photography at the Ogden Musuem of Southern Art in New Orleans. The art of the American South has never existed in isolation. It has – since the earliest moments of the American experience – run concurrent with dominant academic art movements and popular trends, while maintaining a distinct regional identity. On the 4th floor of Ogden Museum’s Goldring Hall, Knowing Who We Are will explore the rise of Abstraction, Photography and Vernacular Art.
