Terrain Gallery of the Aesthetic Realism Foundation opened in 1955 under the direction of Dorothy Koppelman, and took as its motto this statement by poet and philosopher Eli Siegel, In reality opposites are one; art shows this. Now, after 50 years, in spite of a boycott by the press, including the art press arising from anger at unaccustomed, large respect for new knowledge the Terrain Gallery has lasted and is flourishing.
