The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art is a museum in Dallas dedicated to abstract art and the Madí movement. The only such museum in North America, travel writer Emily Toman describes it as "one of the most underrated art museums in Dallas". History The Museum of Geometric and MADI Art was founded in 2002 by Bill and Dorothy Masterson, art enthusiasts who developed an interest in Madí art and began collecting works in the style. The Mastersons opened a permanent museum featuring Madí art in their firm, Kilgore & Kilgore's, new building at 3109 Carlisle in Dallas. The building was subsequently renovated in the Madí style.

Fredricksen. In 2005, Roitman, then age 74, was serving as the creative director of the mus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
