Join us for the unveiling of a never-before-seen private collection showcasing 100 works of art from Central American masters on Friday, March 8th from 6pm - 8pm at the Cornell Art Museum at Old School Square.
Experience the daily life and histories of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panamá through the paintings, sculptures & works-on-paper by their Modernist artists. Many of these artists travelled to Europe to study and returned to create art that connected the ideas of modernism with the culture and indigenous art of their homelands - sublime and profound images not found anywhere else in the world. This inaugural exhibition includes 100 works of art as the Cornell Art Museum hosts the collection of the Museum of Central American Art (MoCAArt).
All of the works are part of the private collection of Mark Ford, who owns Paradise Palms Sculpture and Botanical Gardens and co-authored the book Central American Modernism with Suzanne Brooks.
