On view from 11 May through 11 June 2012, the
works and interventions of 112 Artists from 45 countries
inhabited a wide range of locations throughout the city, articulating the curatorial aim to instigate an international dialogue while transforming the Cuban context and the public scenarios into a temporary laboratory of art experimentation.
Connections to Matisse, of course, are abundant and obvious in the
inhabited spaces of Diebenkorn's figurative
work, especially in the strong collection of drawings
on view; both artists loved to draw, and Diebenkorn, like Matisse, had a great feeling for grays, even if he worried over his lack of the French artist's long cultivation of the figure.
