About
The Museo de Arte de Ponce is making several thematic groupings of art available for loan through our Partner Loan Network.
A grouping of four oil and acrylic paintings ranging from 11 x 12 in. to 65 x 48 in. that features two of the most renowned Puerto Rican artists of the second-half of the 20th century: Miguel Pou y Becerra (1880-1968) and Epifanio Irizarry (1915-2001). Although revolving around portraiture, this varied grouping offers a broad view of the innovative and unique ways in which artists in the region have engaged with the genre over the last seventy years: from character studies of street dwellers rendered in a style reminiscent of Social Realism to gestural and dynamic depictions of syncretic rituals.
