This was achieved through techniques such as filtered light, backlighting, the luminous glows of the tropical light, and reflections on wet surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition, which will occupy the temporary exhibition hall of the Cuban Art Building, will feature more than fifty works inviting the rediscovery of several generations of artists. Despite being sometimes forgotten and other times vilified for their academicism, these artists are finding their place in the history of Cuban art, assures L\u00f3pez Campistrous, who is also the institution&#8217;s Deputy Technical Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specialist reaffirmed that \u00abTurn-of-the-Century art in Cuba is considered to encompass the artistic production from 1880 to 1927. It includes diverse aesthetics and influences, notably realism, symbolism, and impressionism, with the common denominator of constituting a non-avant-garde modernization process,\u00bb highlights the note from the Fine Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delia L\u00f3pez Campistrous explains that this category was introduced into the studies of insular art in 2001 (by the curatorial team of the museum&#8217;s Cuban halls) to fill a historiographical gap barely covered by the fleeting appearance of Turn-of-the-Century masters in institutional curatorships and national criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La patria de la luz features prominent figures from the mentioned period, such as Armando Garc\u00eda Menocal and Leopoldo Roma\u00f1ach, who became long-standing teachers in the plastic arts; painters with the integrity of Antonio Rodr\u00edguez Morey, and landscape artists like Domingo Ramos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also represented are women artists such as Mar\u00eda Pepa Lamarque, Amelia Pel\u00e1ez del Casal, Silvia Fern\u00e1ndez Arrojo, and Luisa Fern\u00e1ndez-Morell Gobel; and other artists of the so-called \u00abdiluted generation,\u00bb including Enrique Crucet, Avelino P\u00e9rez Urriola, Pastor Argud\u00edn, Manuel Vega, and Guillermo \u00c1lvarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will remain open until September 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Translated by Luis E.
