Impressionism and the Caribbean: Francisco Oller and His Transatlantic World

While European Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism formed a critical jumping-off point for Oller’s aesthetic, his most important source of inspiration was Puerto Rico, where he painted tropical landscapes, still lifes with indigenous fruits and vegetables, and portraits of distinguished artists and intellectuals.
This is the first U.S. exhibition to present Oller’s work within both its New and Old World contexts.

Location:  Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 4th Floor
Closed Monday and Tuesday
