· Pablo Picasso
– Important artworks 1920-1972
Pablo Picasso (1881–1973),
Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and
ceramist is considered in his technical virtuosity,
enormous versatility, and incredible originality
and prolificity to have been the foremost figure
in 20th-century art. His talent is revealed
in his earlier works from the blue period (1901–4)
and canvases from his rose period (1905–6).
In 1907 Picasso painted “Les Demoiselles
d'Avignon” a radical departure from the
artistic ideas of the preceding ages and now
considered the most significant work in the
development toward cubism and modern abstraction.
In the synthetic phase of cubism (after 1912)
his forms became larger and more representational,
and flat, bright, decorative patterns replaced
the earlier, more austere compositions. In the
1920s his intellectual approach was basically
antithetical to the irrational aesthetic of
the surrealist painters. By virtue of his vast
energies and overwhelming power of invention
Picasso remains outstanding among the masters
of the ages.
· Fernando Botero
– New Sculpture
Fernando Botero, a Colombian-born
artist, whose corpulent style is immediately
recognizable, is the most important living Latin
American artist. The exhibition includes new
acquisitions of sculptures from the acclaimed
international master; a large number of bronzes
and marbles from years 1999 through 2005. The
sculptures consist mainly of animals, dancers,
reclining women, and mythological subjects for
instance “Centauro and Ninfa” and
“Ratto D’Europa”. Needless
to say, Botero's work is represented in all
the major international museum collections.
His monumental sculptures, such as “Male
Torso”, a large-scale bronze from 1992
included in this show, have graced some of the
most prestigious boulevards from the Champs-Elysees
in Paris to Park Avenue in New York. Other major
cities where this sculpture has been exhibited
include Washington D.C., Madrid, Lisbon, Venice
and most recently, Tokyo and Singapore.
· Frank Stella-
Five Decades of Paintings and Sculpture
The first exhibition showcased
by a South Florida gallery with the purpose
of examining the influential work by Frank Stella.
The show brings together more than 35 works
from different periods of Stella’s incessant
experimentation and productivity. The exhibition
will provide new insight into Stella's career
and his development as one of the most influential
postwar American artist. This exhibition will
change our understanding of Stella’s work
while offering a new perspective of his affluent
career. Frank Stella- Five Decades of Paintings
and Sculpture” will be accompanied by
a comprehensive catalogue by Gary Nader Editions.
The catalogue will contain reproductions of
all Stella’s works as well as an updated
biography of the artist.
· Guillermo
Muñoz Vera- Eight days in
Havana
Guillermo Muñoz Vera
is one of the most important realistic painters
worldwide. His work is inheritor of the realistic
Spanish Masters Velásquez, Ribalta, Rivera,
Zurbarán and Murillo. With his new series
Eight days in Havana the artist explores a new
reality where the city of Havana happens to
be the principal protagonist of the pictorial
speech and human beings complement the landscape
as simple passive observers of the devastator
episode. Paintings are loaded with poetry and
tremendous lyricism in which the artist portrays
the glorious past of the city and the catastrophic
and ruinous present reality. Some of the works
focus on the same unreal reality in which the
time seems to have stopped forever in a city
without pedestrians or traffic. The dramatism
of some scenes is extremely explicit as well
as the devastation of the city and its habitants.
The City of Havana narrates us its past glories
and its present of miseries, the buildings in
ruins say more than politician's speeches. The
composition portrays the severe reality, the
panorama of a nation devoured by its erroneous
ambitions.
