Art Exhibit by Joan Abelló
Art Exhibit by Joan Abelló
The Cervantes Institute of Chicago presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to become acquainted with the pictorial trajectory of painter Joan Abelló, Spain’s most important expressionistic colorist of the 20th century. The importance of Abelló’s achievements, including his masterful and distinguished painting career, his founding of various museums and foundations, and his long term presidency of the Royal Circle of Art of Barcelona, was publicly acknowledged in 2003, when Abelló was awarded the Catalan Government’s medal of highest distinction. This anthological exhibition comprises paintings of all periods, movements and iconographies. It is presented in homage to the artist, who died this past Christmas Day, one day before his 86th birthday. Do not miss it!
