MIMESIS Comes to Close at Havana’s MNBA

April 13 is the date set for the closing ceremony, at the National Museum of Fine Arts (MNBA is the Spanish acronym) of Mimesis, an individual exhibit by Cuban artist Manuel Lopez Oliva.

The artist gives the public the possibility of taking back home a fragment of the works exposed at the museum, but not on a large-size canvas, but rather on objects that could take in acrylic paint, like wood, cardboard, glass, opaque metal, low-textured fabrics, raw earthenware or leather. Even though that won’t be a finished work, visitors will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to relate his or her vital space with art, and not exactly by means of classic replicas, but with the signature of a living artist. Throughout the entire function, visitors could also buy the exhibition’s catalog.

On that same day, at 4:00pm, the biographic novel on Gabriela Mistral entitled A Flower and Nothing Else, by Nieves Cardenas (Gente Nueva Publisher, Havana) that recently won the La Edad de Oro Prize on Children and Youth Literature. The book’s cover features colors and illustrations created by Lopez Oliva.
