Welcome to the interactive blog for The Huntington Museum of Art's I Don't Get It: Non-objective Works from the Permanent Collection, an exhibition designed to explore the intentions and ideas behind non-objective art which is concerned with formal qualities while rejecting imagery from everyday life. Even if you've read all the labels that accompany each of the exhibited works, the art may still remain puzzling or a little confusing, since it doesn't look like anything we are used to from the world around us. So please feel free to post any questions or comments you might have in the comments section of this blog or, if you visit the Museum in person, write your impressions on a card and post it to our exhibition bulletin board! I'll do my best to answer your questions and shed additional light on the meaning behind these non-objective art works.

Great exhibit! Not sure if my last post went through, so here's my question again: I loved the piece by Andrew Calder. Can you tell me more about it? I forget the title. How did the Museum acquire it? What's the connection to Piet Mondrian? Did Calder know him? Did they build off of each other? Or was Calder simply influenced by Mondrian?
