Description: An examination of the balance between modernity and tradition in Cuba's turn - of - the - century artistic evolution. The Lost Generation | La generaci n perdida accompanies an exhibition of the same name at the Mc Mullen Museum of Art Boston College. The modern artistic ceramic movement in Cuba almost exclusively comprised of women artists (including Amelia Pel ez Mirta Garc a Buch and Mar a Elena Jubr as) emerged toward the end of the 1940s and continued into the next decade. The ceramicists invited Cuba's modernist protagonists including Ren Portocarrero Luis Mart nez Pedro and Wifredo Lam to participate in designing ceramics at the Taller de Santiago de Las Vegas. The workshop thus became a locus for the fermentation of Cuban modernist expression. Juan Miguel Rodr guez de la Cruz the workshop's proprietor recognized the artistic value of the ceramicists production and he along with the women he hired encouraged collaboration with their male contemporaries. A symbiotic artistic practice grew in which the ceramicists introduced ideas and designs to the painters whose fledgling attempts in ceramics took eventual flight. As the painters familiarity with the new medium grew similar forms appeared in their two - dimensional renderings which are now synonymous with Cuban modernism. During the post - Revolutionary period of 1959 85, the Taller became part of Cuba's National Patrimony continuing the tradition of producing serial and artistic pieces. As the Revolutionary regime wore on the Taller's importance waned artists left Cuba and independent workshops flourished. While the Taller de Santiago no longer boasts importance in artistic production today it left an indelible mark on Cuban modernism. With essays by Cuban American and Cuban - American scholars The Lost Generation | La generaci n perdida provides a background on the twentieth - century avant - garde movements in Cuba; delves into the narrative of an overlooked group of Cuban women ceramicists assessing the implications of their work on modernism; and finally explores in depth the women artists of the third avant - garde generation (1949 58).
