Nexus New York: Latin/American Artists in the Modern Metropolis
Don't miss your chance! - Come visit our beautiful, groundbreaking exhibition before it closes down on February 28.
Curated by Deborah Cullen, Director of Curatorial Programs, El Museo del Barrio.
This landmark exhibition examines pioneering Caribbean and Latin American artists who lived in New York City before World War II and shaped the American avant-garde.
Between 1900 and 1942, New York City was the site of extraordinary creative exchange where artists could share ideas in a global context. The swiftly-changing urban landscape before and between the World Wars inspired the erosion of artistic boundaries and fostered a new climate of modernist experimentation. Nexus New York focuses on key artists from the Caribbe an and Latin America who entered into dynamic cultural and social dialogues with the American-based avant-garde and participated in the development of a new modern discourse.
