Join us for a group visit to the exhibit: Mariano: Variations on a Theme. The first major exhibition on Cuban artist Mariano Rodríguez (1912–90) in the United States, this retrospective features over 140 oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings from leading museum and private collections, including the artist’s estate, which has provided unprecedented access to rarely seen works and archives.

Mariano’s allegiance to the Cuban Revolution limited the display of his artworks in America principally to those created before 1959, when he was a member of the Cuban avant-garde. This exhibition widely expands the artist’s known corpus. It demonstrates how his dedication to lo cubano (the essence of Cuban expression) and his evolving stylistic interests from other parts of the world repositioned him as a painter of universal consequence.

The guided tour is free and open to all BU students and faculty. Everyone must register because space is limited! Please sign up below only if committed to coming on the tour so as not to take a spot from another student.

We will not be providing transportation. Students should meet at the museum entrance at 2 PM. The McMullen Museum of Art is located at 2101 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA and is easily accessible via the MBTA Green line “B” train.
