N2  - Exhibition catalog. Feb-Apr 2007. Texts: John Elderfield, Luis Perez-Oramas, Nora Lawrence. Foreword by Glenn D. Lowry. Text by John Elderfield, Luis Pérez-Oramas. This first U.S. retrospective of the work of Armando Reverón (1899-1954), exhibited this spring at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, introduces the celebrated Latin American artist to an international audience. Well-known in his native Venezuela, but little known outside Latin America, Reverón deserves to be ranked alongside the great early European Modernists. By the 1920s, he had fused post-Impressionistic idioms with an extremely tactile surface and an almost monochromatic palette, creating unmistakably original paintings that are both mysterious and radical. In addition to Reverón's paintings, the exhibition includes life-sized dolls and other objects that he and his partner, Juanita Ríos, created to fill their secluded Caribbean home.
