Summary:
"The Lost Generation: Women Ceramicists and the Cuban Avant-Garde examines the participants and artistic output from 1949 to 1959 of the Taller de Santiago de las Vegas, a ceramic workshop on the outskirts of Havana. A decade of artistic experimentation primarily by little-known women ceramicists had deep reverberations both for the acceptance of ceramics as a fine art form in Cuba and for the symbiotic relationship that flourished between the ceramicists and the painters, largely men, who visited the Taller to learn the craft. The painters in turn applied new techniques and methodologies to their two-dimensional production, which is now regarded as synonymous with the Cuban avant-garde (vanguardia)"-- Provided by publisher. "La generacion perdida: mujeres ceramistas y la vanguardia cubana examina a los participantes y la produccion artistica del Taller de Santiago de las Vegas entre 1949 y 1959, un taller de ceramica en las afueras de La Habana. Fue esta una decada de experimentacion artistica de un grupo de mujeres ceramistas poco conocidas, que alcanzo profundas resonancias por la aceptacion de la ceramica como arte en Cuba y por la relacion simbiotica que florecio entre ceramistas y los pintores, casi todos hombres, que visitaron el Taller para aprender nuevas destrezas. Por su parte, y como resultado de estas experiencias, los pintores aplicaron nuevas tecnicas y metodologias a su produccion bidimensional, esa que hoy consideramos representativa de la vanguardia cubana"-- Provided by publisher.
