DESCRIPTION:May 20 - Nov 7\, 2026\nWhen the modern dancer Martha Graham (18
 94–1991) was young\, her father\, a doctor\, put a drop of water on a sl
 ide and asked her what she saw. “Pure water\,” she answered. He then p
 ut the slide under a microscope and had her look. “There are wiggles in 
 it\,” Martha exclaimed. Dr. Graham said\, “Yes\, it is impure. Just re
 member this all of your life\, Martha. You must look for the truth.” And
  that is what she did\, in dances that dig down into those caverns measure
 less to man—the psyche and the soul. “Movement never lies\,” Graham 
 always said\, again quoting her father. No surprise\, then\, that actors c
 lamored to her classes\, stars such as Bette Davis\, Kirk Douglas\, Gregor
 y Peck\, Joanne Woodward\, Paul Newman\, and Liza Minnelli. They wanted to
  learn how to use their bodies to tell the truth of a character. Even befo
 re Antony Tudor was creating his psychological ballets—Pillar of Fire (1
 942)\, Undertow (1945)—Graham had planted her flag in the subconscious. 
 She read Jung and Freud\, and counted Joseph Cambell\, a scholar of archet
 ypes and the unconscious\, as a close friend. This exhibition looks at Gra
 ham’s entire career through the prism of her explorations in psychology.
