Latin American Art Conquers the Middle East

Great Latin American Masters, Such as Kahlo, Rivera, and Botero, Exhibit in the Middle East
Doha, Qatar — Although it seems that the art of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is present all over the world, they still had ground to cover: the Middle East and North Africa. Now, they have managed to conquer these lands, along with other renowned Mexican and Latin American artists, with the exhibition "Latinoamericano," presented at the National Museum of Qatar.
This is the first major exhibition of Latin American art in this region; It presents 109 artists through 170 works from the collections of Eduardo F. Costantini and the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires (Malba). It runs until July as part of the Qatar-Argentina-Chile Year of Culture 2025 program.

Inside this desert rose-shaped building, designed by Jean Nouvel, several Mexican artists are making their debut, including Miguel Covarrubias, with the paintings El hueso and George Sherwin, An American in Paris; Juan O'Gorman, with his landscape Consumatum Est; Mathias Goeritz with the group "Jerusalem I and Labyrinth to Jerusalem," and Helen Escobedo, with her drawing and model for "Development. Vertical Development."

Muralism is mentioned, represented by small drawings by David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo, and the painting "Mexican Soldiers" by José Clemente Orozco, placed in front of a large-scale painting by Bolivian Alejandro Mario Yllanes, titled "Tragedy of the Pongo," to exemplify the influence this movement had in Latin America.
