## Caption

In 1913, The Newark Museum was the first American museum to mount a solo exhibition of a living modernist artist - at a time when the very idea of abstraction as art was still being argued.🗣️✨

⭐️The artist was Max Weber.⭐️

Weber’s fractured planes, bold color, and spiritual geometry were decades ahead of the cultural mainstream. 🟦💐
