Cuban art

Join us on the public opening day of this highly-anticipated exhibit with a special curator’s tour. The exhibit, which was initially presented by Florida State University Museum of Fine Arts, Tallahassee in February 2016, showcases an historical progression of paintings, sculpture and mixed media from the Colonial, Republican and Post-Revolutionary periods of Cuban Art up to the present day. Nearly one hundred works from private collections in Florida have been organized and assembled to bring together some of the most recognizable names in Cuban art, including Carlos Alfonzo, Carlos Enríquez, Wifredo Lam, Manuel Mendive, José Mijares, Amelia Palaez, René Portocarrero, Leopoldo Romañach, and Tomás Sánchez.  The exhibit is curated by Segundo Fernández, attorney, art collector and doctoral candidate in art history. Catalogues will be available for sale in the Museum Gift Shop.

Museum admission rates apply.
