The Art Institute of Chicago
Real and Imaginary: Three Latin American Artists
December 11, 2010–May 29, 2011
Ryan Education Center and Gallery 10

Overview: Three Latin American artists share the beauty and richness of their cultural heritage in this exhibition of art from picture books. In a book of Latin American folktales, Raúl Colón layers washes of paint and etched lines, finishing with colored pencils. David Diaz’s brightly colored illustrations portray true stories of Mexican heroes and artists. And with a flair for humor, Yuyi Morales paints hauntingly beautiful, mystical pictures that resonate with the importance of family.
