Getting Surreal and Absolutely Abstract

This ongoing exhibit features the highly imaginative work of students from Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. After studying the art styles of abstract artists (Kandinsky and Mondrian), the Surrealists (Miro and Dali), and the Cubists (Picasso and Braque) these students cut loose with compositions of their own.
