Curatorial Gallery Talk: James Oles: Women Artists from Surrealism to Abstraction

February 26, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Camilla Chandler and Dorothy Buffum Chandler Gallery | Marjorie and Gerald Bronfman Gallery

Women artists have not only formed an essential part of the history of modern Latin American art, they are a specific focus of the Davis Museum’s collection, particularly in the areas of Surrealism and abstraction. Join ​James Oles, ​Senior Lecturer in Art and Curator of the exhibition ​Art_Latin_America: Against the Survey,​ for a gallery talk highlighting major works by women artists—including Olga Albizu, Puerto Rico’s finest abstract painter, and the German-Venezuelan Gego, whose work is impossible to pigeonhole—who may be less famous than Frida Kahlo, but whose achievements are no less exciting.
