Press Release
Hollis Taggart is pleased to present a focused exhibition of the artist Dusti Bongé’s surrealist works. A deeply intuitive painter long represented by the Betty Parsons Gallery as well as Mississippi’s most acclaimed modernist artist of the post-war era, Bongé (1903-1993) fused the influences of the New York School with colors and forms inspired by the overlooked “third” coast of the U.S.—the Gulf Coast.
