ABOUT THE SHOW
Our exhibit begins with the work of Joaquin Blez in the 1920’s
covering
the art-nouveau period in Cuba. We then feature the work of the
photographers of the Cuban Revolution, known as “Cuban Epic
Photography”,
a period that transformed the purpose and role of photography, stepping
away from traditional photojournalism by reflecting the feeling and
sentiments of the period. Moving into the contemporary realm, we feature
a
breadth of work from the mid nineties to the present; the contemporary
works showcase a variety of techniques (from collages to reverse
negatives) and an equally diverse subject matter, from self portraiture
to
the manipulation and combination of images to tell an intricate story.
The Pan American Art Gallery is located in the Turtle Creek Neighborhood
of Dallas at 3303 Lee Parkway, Suite 101. The Gallery is open
Tuesday-Friday 10 a.m. -6 p.m. and Saturday noon - 6 p.m. Call
214-522-3303 for more information or visit http://www.panamericanart.com.
Specializing in art from the Caribbean basin, the Pan American Art
Gallery
features avant-garde and contemporary Cuban works, as well as
contemporary
and folk art from Haiti and Jamaica.
