of
rage and redemption:
the art of oswaldo guayasamín
April 5-May 29, 2008
“Of Rage and Redemption: The Art of Oswaldo
Guayasamín”,
the first U.S. exhibit in almost sixty years of the work of
master Ecuadorian artist Oswaldo Guayasamín (1919-1999),
opens at 6pm on April 4th at the Art Museum
of the Americas in Washington, D.C.
Of Rage and Redemption,
curated by Joseph Mella, includes over forty works from his
early paintings responding to Ecuador’s four-day civil war
of 1932 to what he called “La Ternura” (“The Tenderness”),
his final period beginning in the mid 1980s.
This exhibit was organized by the Center for Latin American
and Iberian Studies at Vanderbilt University and the
Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery. It is being
presented at the Art Museum of the Americas in collaboration
with the Center for Latin American Studies at Georgetown
University.
A
special symposium, “The Life and Art
of Oswaldo
Guayasamín,” will take place on
April 4,
2008
from
1pm to 4pm
at
Riggs Library,
Georgetown University.
