Tribute Paid to Martínez Pedro in New Exhibition at Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes

July 13, 2018

The National Museum of Fine Arts inaugurated last Wednesday, July 12, at 4:00 p.m., the exhibition Martínez Pedro. Water Everywhere, in the Temporary Room of the Ground Floor of the Universal Art Building.

The exhibition, which will remain open until October 1st, becomes the tribute that the institution owed to the emblematic draftsman, painter and designer, whose work has been highly valued in the country and beyond its borders, although not sufficiently known.

Based on drawings, paintings, ceramics, photographs, personal documents, catalogs, press reviews, literary texts and musical compositions, Martínez Pedro. Water Everywhere will offer a multidisciplinary and comprehensive vision, as its own title suggests. It will make public exponents that mostly belong to the Museum's collections and the Council of State, and also for the most part do not have permanent exhibition, are practically unknown or have never been exhibited before the general public.

Previously, at 2:30 p.m., the presentation of the volume Luis Martínez Pedro. Revelations took place in the Hemicycle of the same Universal Art Building, with forewords by Gladys Collazo and Alejandro Rodríguez Alomá, and critical essays by Odalys Borges and Raisa Ruiz, published by the Fundación Arte Cubano.
