Exhibit of Outstanding Mexican Muralists at Havana's Fine Arts Museum

Havana, September 14 (acn) As part of the celebrations of Mexican 
culture week in Cuba, the Havana Museum of Fine Arts exhibits through 
September 26 works by Mexico's three greatest muralists, Diego Rivera, 
Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

The Tribute to Mexico exhibition includes some twenty engravings and 
paintings by these three artists that are part of the museum's 
collection and takes place in conjunction with the Casa de Las Americas 
cultural institution and the Mexican embassy.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Mexican Ambassador to Havana Jose 
Ignacio PiC1a Rojas. In statements published by Granma news daily, PiC1a 
Rojas said that the work of these artists is a symbol of the fraternity 
that has united the two peoples.

At the opening, Mexican painters Arturo Estrada and Arturo Garcia 
Bustos, and researcher Teresa del Conde shared some of their 
experiences with the three master painters.

Among the featured works are Modesta cosiendo, an oil on canvas by 
Rivera; an oil on wood painting by Siqueiros; and Las Masas, a 
lithograph by Orozco. The exhibition tries to recreate the discursive 
aesthetics these artists brought to mural paintings that revolutionized 
Latin American conceptualisation in the 20th century.
