The Changing Face of Art and Politics,
the second exhibition in the ArtLab @ The Lowe series, examines
political imagery through style and technique, and the consideration
of motifs and narratives that share an affinity over time. Featuring
thirty-two works of art from the permanent collection, the exhibition
ranges in subject matter from an early-sixteenth century engraving
of by Hieronymus Hopfer to a late twentieth-century print by Stanley
William Hayter. On view in the Bermont Focus Gallery, The Changing
Face of Art and Politics was curated by students in the Spring
2010 Museum Studies II class (ARH 508) under the direction of Dr.
Joel Hollander.
ArtLab @ The Lowe is a collaborative effort between
the Department of Art and Art History and the Lowe Art Museum at
the University of Miami to provide students with opportunities to
work directly with objects from the museum’s collection, produce
original research, and curate a thematic exhibition that will be
on display for a full calendar year. The ArtLab series is generously
sponsored by Stella M. Holmes. |

of daily living that can be relatively easily recognized by non-Africans.

Miami resident Rafael Soriano (b. 1920, Cuba) is one of the major Latin American artists of his generation of modernists, and one of the premier painters of Cuba. His work embodies a style best described as Oneiric Luminism by which Soriano combines a purely abstract form of light, form, space and shadow, with an interest in poetic and metaphysical impulses that drive our unconscious minds.
