Please take time to visit the related exhibition Transatlanticism at your leisure. It is on view in the MacKinnon Gallery at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on the University of Oregon campus and features works by such modern and contemporary masters as Roberto Matta (Chilean, 1911-2002), Joan Miró (Spanish, 1893-1983), Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973), and Rufino Tamayo (Mexican, 1899-1991), among others. Also included are portraits of artists Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957) and Tina Modotti (Italian, 1896-1942), both of whom were integral to the Mexican modernist scene. The museum is open from 11:00 am - 8:00 pm on Wednesdays; 11:00 am - 5:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Sundays; and closed on Mondays. Please present this program for free admission to the museum.
