La República vista por sus artistas (the Republic through the eyes of its artists) is a survey of Cuban art created on the island in the first half of the 20th century. The purpose of this show is to pay homage to the birth of the Cuban Republic, founded on May 20th, 1902, and ending in 1959 with the Cuban Revolution.

Historical moments can always be understood through the art of their time, and Cuba is no exception. Our premise is to look at the Republic through the work of its artists, who gave shape and color to their Nation: they perpetuated in the memory of Cuban culture the complex thread which results in the birth of a new historical period. Once liberated from the Spanish crown, Cuba began to discover for the first time its own identity.
