This same year, the artist exhibits his works
in New York at the prestigious Julien Levy
Gallery, one of the world’s premier
showcases for the international
Avant-Garde. Also in 1944, Portocarrero
is included in the groundbreaking show
Modern Cuban Painters at the Museum
of Modern Art (MoMA), organized
by Alfred Barr, exhibiting seven works.
This show then traveled to 12 museums
across the United States, including
the National Gallery in Washington D.C.,
and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
under the title Cuban Painting Today.
The latter shows would be among the most
important of his lifetime, and helped
establish his profile as truly international.
Portocarrero’s work would again feature
at the MoMA as part of their 1945
show Recent Acquisitions in Paintings
and Sculpture, and in 1998's Drawing
in Latin America.
