Americas Latinos: North - Central - South
An exhibition focusing upon the cross-fertilization in woodcuts, lithographs, drawings and sculpture. Closes August 12 at the Tobey C. Moss Gallery.
There are no borders to the rich and constant interchange of artists, writers, musicians between the peoples of the Americas - from north to south...from south to north. The differences are often simultaneously startling and distinctive but beautiful and universal. At all times this flow of ideas is stimulating.
Comparing the latent power of Catlett’s Sharecropper and the anguish of X.J. Iniguez’s woman of VietNam we begin to scratch the surface of the scope of the works done by the Americas Latinos. Other notable artists in the show include: Jean Charlot, Wm. Theo Brown, Frank Romero, Francisco Mora, Emilio Renart, Fernando de Szyszlo, Francisco Zunigia, Enrique Grau, Raul Milian, Pablo O’Higgins and David Alfaro Siqueiros to name a few. These artists hail from Argentina to Peru to Columbia, Mexico and the United States.
