Their manifesto read: ������to carry
painting beyond the appearance
of the physical world, through new
concepts of space, color, light and
design, to imaginative realms that
are idealistic and spiritual.���

Unlike many artists whose
fame comes later, if ever, the
Transcendental group received
acclaim and respect in the world
of their peers of modern art.
Their work was exhibited at the
1939 New York World Fair, the
1939 Golden Gate Exhibition and
in 1940 at the Museum of NonObjective Painting, which would
later become the Guggenheim
Museum in New York City.
While the first World War served
to further push the group���s efforts,
the second World War ended this
creative period of collaboration.
Yet, as can be seen in the collection
at the David Findlay Gallery,
the group���s accomplishments
in championing non-objective
abstraction were profound and
enduring. H Christopher Hyland
