Segundo Fernandez's lecture will be based on his extensive research on Cuban art and how this exhibition has presented the public an opportunity to appreciate its history through a telling international lens. As Fernandez has stated: "Cuban art in the 20th century was very much at the forefront of what we call the International Avant Garde movement. There was a lot of interaction between artists born in Cuba and artists in the European and North American art worlds. Artists fom the island were studying abroad and bringing back ideas to Cuba, but they were also bringing ideas to Europe and North America." -------- Segundo J. Fernandez, a self-proclaimed "lawyer by day and art historian by night," is a distinguished Tallahassee environmental attorney, art collector, and doctoral candidate. He is also on the Dean's Advisory Board at the College of Fine Arts. Fernandez served as guest curator for FSU Museum of Fine Arts's major exhibition, Cuban Art in the 20th Century, which inaugurated in February 2016 and then traveled to the Coral Gables Art Museum. Special Moments Photos Cuban Art in the 20th Century: Cultural Identity and the International Avant Garde is currently on view at the Coral Gables Art Museum through April 23, 2017. The exhibition has been widely celebrated for its edifying survey.
