Transatlanticism

This exhibition, as well as the courses and symposium it supports, focuses on Iberian and Latin American Transatlantic Studies, featuring works by such important 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. Thanks to a JSMA Academic Support Grant, in conjunction with three courses being taught by Professors Cecilia Enjuto Rangel and Pedro García-Caro in the Department of Romance Languages, Transatlanticism accompanies a symposium on Transatlantic Studies, a relatively new academic discipline that explores the artistic, cultural, political, and social links between countries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.  Also included in the show are portraits of artists Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957) and Tina Modotti (Italian 1896-1942), who were integral to the Mexican modernist scene.
