Pan American Modernism: Avant-Garde Art in Latin America and the United States

Developed by the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami (FL), this exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, works on paper and photography, many of them exhibited for the first time outside of the Lowe. More than 70 works by over 60 artists from 12 countries highlight artistic exchanges between 1919 and 1979, revealing modernism to have been an international phenomenon across the Americas. "Pan American Modernism" demonstrates that Caribbean, Central, and South American artists were important contributors to the experimental and innovative nature of modernism.
