THE McMULLEN MUSEUM OF ART AT BOSTON COLLEGE

The Lost Generation: Women Ceramicists and the Cuban Avant-Garde
Tuesday , May 14 at 11:00 AM 


McMullan Museum

The Lost Generation: Women Ceramicists and the Cuban Avant-Garde examines the participants and artistic output from 1949 to 1959 of the Taller de Santiago de las Vegas, a ceramic workshop on the outskirts of Havana. A decade of artistic experimentation primarily by little-known women ceramicists had deep reverberations both for the acceptance of ceramics as a fine art form in Cuba and for the symbiotic relationship that flourished between the ceramicists and the painters, largely men, who visited the Taller to learn the craft. The painters in turn applied new techniques and methodologies to their two-dimensional production, which is now regarded as synonymous with the Cuban avant-garde (vanguardia).

Featuring nearly 150 vases, mugs, water jugs, murals, and plates drawn from premier private and gallery collections, The Lost Generation displays for the first time many of the Taller’s finest ceramics in conversation with dozens of paintings and sculptures by Peláez, Portocarrero, Lam, Martínez Pedro, Mariano, and others. 

This docent-led visit is an opportunity to see art and learn about artists many of us know little about.  We hope you'll join us for this fascinating exhibition.
