Description: The Lost Generation | La generacin perdida by Elizabeth Thompson Goizueta, Roberto Cobas Amate, Carol Damian, Alejandro Anreus Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An examination of the balance between modernity and tradition in Cubas turn-of-the-century artistic evolution. The Lost Generation | La generación perdida accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College. The modern artistic ceramic movement in Cuba, almost exclusively comprised of women artists (including Amelia Peláez, Mirta García Buch, and María Elena Jubrías), emerged toward the end of the 1940s and continued into the next decade. The ceramicists invited Cubas modernist protagonists, including René Portocarrero, Luis Martínez Pedro, and Wifredo Lam, to participate in designing ceramics at the Taller de Santiago de Las Vegas. The workshop thus became a locus for the fermentation of Cuban modernist expression. Juan Miguel Rodríguez de la Cruz, the workshops proprietor, recognized the artistic value of the ceramicists production and he, along with the women he hired, encouraged collaboration with their male contemporaries. A symbiotic artistic practice grew in which the ceramicists introduced ideas and designs to the painters, whose fledgling attempts in ceramics took eventual flight. As the painters familiarity with the new medium grew, similar forms appeared in their two-dimensional renderings, which are now synonymous with Cuban modernism. During the post-Revolutionary period of 1959–85, the Taller became part of Cubas National Patrimony, continuing the tradition of producing serial and artistic pieces. As the Revolutionary regime wore on, the Tallers importance waned, artists left Cuba, and independent workshops flourished. While the Taller de Santiago no longer boasts importance in artistic production today, it left an indelible mark on Cuban modernism. With essays by Cuban, American, and Cuban-American scholars, The Lost Generation | La generación perdida provides a background on the twentieth-century avant-garde movements in Cuba; delves into the narrative of an overlooked group of Cuban women ceramicists, assessing the implications of their work on modernism; and, finally, explores in depth the women artists of the third avant-garde generation (1949–58). Author Biography Elizabeth Thompson Goizueta teaches Hispanic studies and Latin American and Peninsular art, culture, and literature at Boston College. At the McMullen Museum, she has curated exhibitions on Wifredo Lam, Esteban Lisa, Roberto Matta, Mariano Rodríguez, Rafael Soriano, and the Cuenca abstractionists.
