“麦克马伦先生很高兴向大家介绍 迷惘的一代, the seventh exhibition organized as part of its Hispanic Art Initiative, 谁会冒险进入很少被探索的领域, women-dominated medium of mid-twentieth-century Cuban artistic ceramics,南希·内泽说, 就职典礼罗伯特·L. 朱迪斯·T. 温斯顿麦克马伦博物馆馆长和艺术史教授.
多亏了私人收藏家和画廊慷慨的贷款, curator Elizabeth Thompson Goizueta [McMullen Museum adjunct curator] has assembled an outstanding selection of ceramics produced in the visionary Dr. 胡安·米格尔Rodríguez德拉克鲁兹的Taller de Santiago de las Vegas. Thompson Goizueta has paired the ceramics with paintings and sculptures by Cuba’s second- and third-generation modernists to reveal for the first time how the avant-garde ceramicists’ innovations exerted powerful influence on artists working in more traditional media.”

A decade of artistic experimentation primarily by little-known women ceramicists had deep reverberations both for the acceptance of ceramics as a fine art form in Cuba and for the symbiotic relationship that flourished between the ceramicists and the painters—largely men—who visited the Taller to learn the craft. The painters in turn applied new techniques and methodologies to their two-dimensional production, 现在被认为是古巴先锋派的代名词.
