Heritage and Legacy

A Solo Exhibition by Elizabeth Stainberg

You’re invited to the Debut Solo Exhibition of Elizabeth Stainberg, a multidisciplinary artist whose new series, Heritage and Legacy, explores migration, memory, and the enduring power of human movement.

🗓 Date: Thursday, September 11th, 2025🕕 Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM📍 Kimpton EPIC Hotel270 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131

✨ Complimentary appetizers will be served

Exhibition Statement: Heritage and Legacy

“I explore the deep and timeless human experience of movement — across lands, across waters, across boundaries both visible and invisible.

The central visual language of the series is circular. Surrounding these are other pieces representing oceans and seas, not merely as geographic features but as vast, emotional spaces that connect and divide. The circles speak of continuity, but also of isolation.

The silent travelers cross from one continent to another, suspended in mid-journey. These humble figures symbolize the personal and collective stories of migration — stories of hope, struggle, displacement, and resilience.

My intent is to create a quiet, contemplative space where viewers are invited to reflect on their own histories of movement, whether ancestral, recent, or imagined — in a time when borders are being redefined and the meaning of belonging is constantly shifting.”— Elizabeth Stainberg

LINCOLN ROAD ANNOUNCES DYNAMIC NEW PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONSFOR ART WEEK MIAMI BEACH 2025

LINCOLN ROAD ANNOUNCES DYNAMIC NEW PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS
FOR ART WEEK MIAMI BEACH 2025

Miami Beach’s Cultural District Features Philippe Katerine’s “Mr. Pink Takes Flight,” Works by Gillie and Marc, the Inaugural Call to Artists Winner Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva” and Rubem Robierb’s Sculptures 

  • Philippe Katerine’s “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” – five monumental bubblegum-pink inflatables and one sculpture (ranging from 12 to 20 feet tall) bringing Katerine’s playful philosophy of Mignonisme (“Cuteism”) to life, turning rooftops and sidewalks into whimsical, interactive art experiences.
  • Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva”  – the winning sculpture from the Lincoln Road BID’s inaugural Call to Artists program, featuring a fragmented mirrored human face that invites viewers to see themselves reflected while exploring themes of identity, coexistence and belonging along the promenade.
  • Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” and “Empower Flower” –interactive public sculptures encouraging visitors to reflect and participate, symbolizing resilience, hope, transformation and the power of dreams fulfilled.
  • Gillie and Marc’s “The Wild Couch Party,” “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog”, “Watch Out for Paparazzi Rabbit” and more – new large-scale bronze sculptures joining their existing works along Lincoln Road, continuing the duo’s mission of raising awareness for endangered wildlife while engaging visitors through playful, interactive public art.

 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s iconic open-air pedestrian promenade, cultural hub, public art park and sculpture garden, will once again come alive for Art Week Miami Beach 2025 with a strong lineup of free public art with 14 installations. Headlining the program are: French artist Philippe Katerine’s monumental “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” inflatables, Rubem Robierb’s “Dream Machine” and “Empower Flower”, Oscar Esteban Martinez’s “La Herencia Viva”—the winning sculpture from Lincoln Road’s inaugural Call to Artists—and expanded works by internationally celebrated duo Gillie and Marc.

At the forefront of Lincoln Road’s Art Week 2025 installations is “Mr. Pink Takes Flight” (“Monsieur Rose s’envole”), a series of six cartoon-like bubblegum-pink pieces (five inflatables perched on buildings, one sculpture at street level) towering between 12 and 20 feet tall. Katerine, who lives in Paris, is a celebrated singer-songwriter, actor and visual artist who consistently blends humor with reflection on everyday life, challenging audiences to see the world through fresh and unexpected perspectives. The artworks embody Katerine’s philosophy of Mignonisme (“Cuteism”), a movement celebrating the aesthetics of cuteness. They were produced by EXMURO, a public art organization based in Quebec City, Canada and rentingART, an art agency based in Paris, France. The installations will be on view from November 2025 through April 2026.

“Mr. Pink was created to bring humor, tenderness and joy into everyday life,” said Katerine. “He embodies my vision of Mignonisme, which celebrates the power of cuteness to transform ordinary spaces into places of wonder. Seeing him arrive on Lincoln Road during Art Week Miami Beach is especially meaningful: The street is not only a cultural landmark but also a true open-air gallery where art and daily life meet. It feels like the perfect home for Mr. Pink, who was born to surprise, delight and spark moments of playfulness. My hope is that he adds another layer to this dialogue—turning rooftops and sidewalks into spaces of poetry, color and imagination.”

Adding to the lineup is “La Herencia Viva” (“The Living Heritage”) by Miami-based Colombian artist Oscar Esteban Martinez, the winner of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District’s (LRBID) first-ever Call to Artists. Selected from over 75 international submissions, the installation features a fragmented human face crafted from puzzle-like segments and mirrored panels, exploring themes of identity, coexistence and belonging. Positioned along the promenade, the work invites visitors to see themselves reflected within it and contemplate the connections that unite communities. The piece will remain on view through June 2026.

Lincoln Road will also be showcasing two sculptures by internationally recognized visual artist Rubem Robierb, who has previously presented works along the promenade and had his design chosen as Miami’s Official Host City Poster for the FIFA World Cup 2026. “Dream Machine” represents the materialization of human wishes and the timeless longing to see dreams fulfilled, with its wings symbolizing resilience and hope while inviting visitors to stand between them, close their eyes and imagine a place where dreams come true. “Empower Flower”, inspired by the White Lotus, extends Robierb’s exploration of universal symbols of transformation and strength, translating the emblem of rebirth and feminine power into a contemporary icon through sweeping and fluid lines. Known for creating interactive works that invite personal reflection and participation, Robierb has exhibited widely with public sculptures in New York, Miami and beyond, further underscoring his ability to capture the spirit of resilience and cultural identity through art.

Further enriching the Art Week Miami Beach program is Lincoln Road’s partnership with Gillie and Marc, internationally acclaimed artists described by The New York Times as “the most successful and prolific creators of public art in New York’s history.” Their works on display include “The Wild Couch Party,” a 40-foot-long bronze sculpture featuring 12 endangered animals gathered alongside the duo’s signature characters Dogman and Rabbitwoman, as well as “Watch Out for Paparazzi Dog” and “Watch Out for Paparazzi Rabbit.” These new installations, on view until July 2026, join the artists’ earlier pieces already on view along the promenade, “The Giraffe and Chimpanzee Were on a Wild Ride to a Safer Place with Rabbitwoman and Dogman” and “The White Rhino Bench of Friendship,” continuing their mission to raise awareness for wildlife conservation through accessible public art.  

“Lincoln Road has long been a destination where culture, commerce and creativity intersect,” said Lyle Stern, president of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District. “Our commitment to public art is at the heart of that vision. From supporting world-renowned artists like Philippe Katerine and Gillie and Marc, to launching our inaugural Call to Artists program, the BID works to make Lincoln Road a public art park and sculpture garden where everyone can experience innovative, thought-provoking installations. Art Week Miami Beach is the perfect opportunity to showcase how public art transforms the promenade, encourages conversation and connects our community and visitors through shared experiences.”

From gallery experiences to interactive activations along the promenade, Lincoln Road offers a full spectrum of artistic engagement. Beyond large-scale installations, it features more than nine boutique art galleries with rotating art, showcasing everything from photography and contemporary paintings to sculptures and mixed-media works. Visitors can discover pieces by emerging local talent as well as established international artists, attracting over 10 million people annually and reinforcing Lincoln Road as a year-round cultural destination. Visitors can explore exhibits across the district, including special programming during the Lincoln Road Art Walk, held every third Thursday of the month. In addition to visual art, Lincoln Road is also a hub for the performing arts, including the New World Center, home of the New World Symphony, and the Colony Theatre, home to Miami New Drama.

Fall 2025 Exhibitions

Fall 2025 Exhibitions: 

 Sarah Paul, Self Stitched: Electric Care

SCHMIDT CENTER GALLERY 
On View: August 28, 2025 – October 10, 2025 

Celebration Reception: September 11, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

This solo exhibition on healing, power and the fabric of self surveys the immersive, interdisciplinary practice of artist Sarah Paul, whose work transforms trauma into tactile, participatory environments. Using fiber, video, sound, and light, Paul crafts spaces that hold both pain and possibility, inviting viewers to engage with the body as a site of vulnerability and resilience. Rooted in feminist, punk, and queer traditions, her work explores themes of mental health, power, and the physical and psychological labor of healing. From the enveloping architecture of Fiber Chamber to the performative journeys of Little Miss Cleveland, Paul’s installations challenge societal norms while offering space for reflection, reclamation, and radical self-definition. 

A Global Lens: Capturing Culture Through Summer Study  

SCHMIDT CENTER PUBLIC SPACE 
On View: August 28, 2025 – September 21, 2025 

Opening Reception: August 28, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

A Global Lens showcases projects and photographs created by students and faculty during FAU’s College of Arts and Letters summer programs on campus and abroad, notably in Ecuador and Italy.

This exhibition highlights their summer experiences, offering a glimpse into the transformative power of global education. Featuring images provided by students and faculty supervisors, A Global Lens celebrates the intersection of travel, learning, and creative exploration. 

Unearthed Futures: The Archaeology of Tomorrow 

RITTER ART GALLERY 
On View: August 28, 2025 – November 9, 2025

Opening Reception: August 28, 2025, from 4:30 pm – 8:30 pm

Unearthed Futures: The Archaeology of Tomorrow invites viewers into three chambers where imagined relics of the future offer a poetic critique of the past. In chamber one, Angelo Caruso constructs tactile, tech-infused works destabilizing sensory expectations of “visual art.” Second, Mariana Monteagudo excavates layered narratives, blending organic textures with digital aesthetics to evoke artifacts from yet-to-exist civilizations. In the final chamber, AI-generated texts reimagine the contested histories of early 20th-century African and Oceanian objects—created for the tourist export market and now held in FAU’s collections—using speculative history and sly humor to question collecting ethics and the fictions we tell about provenance. Together, these works suggest that the futures we unearth are never neutral—they are constructed, contested, and strangely familiar. With a cameo by renowned artist Matthew Angelo Harrison, whose sculptural practice interrogates cultural ownership and labor through the lens of post-industrial preservation, this is archaeology turned inside out.

Now over 35 years old, the quilt is composed of more than 50,000 hand-sewn panels, each one commemorating an individual lost to HIV/AIDS. 
The project began in 1985, when activist Cleve Jones invited participants in a candlelight march in San Francisco to honor those who had died by writing their names on placards. Arranged like a patchwork quilt, these placards became the inspiration for what would become the NAMES Project, first exhibited at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 1987.

Untitled Art, Miami Beach Announces Exhibitors for 2025 Edition

Leading contemporary art fair Untitled Art, Miami Beach announces exhibitors and a new Guest Curators program, ushering in a more collaborative and dynamic curatorial approach for its 14th edition. This year also marks the launch of the fair’s inaugural Houston edition, taking place September 19–21, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center, establishing a new cultural destination for contemporary art in the region.

For its 2025 Miami Beach edition, the fair welcomes Guest Curators Petra Cortright, Allison Glenn, and Jonny Tanna with Harlesden High Street, each bringing distinct expertise to shape this year’s sectors and reinforce Untitled Art’s role as a curatorial platform for discovery and emerging talent.

This year, Untitled Art, Miami Beach will feature 157 exhibitors. Comprised of This year, Untitled Art, Miami Beach will feature 157 exhibitors. Comprised of galleries and non-profit organizations from 29 countries and territories, the 2025 edition spans participants from over 70 cities worldwide. The 2025 edition will welcome many new participants, including Harper’s (East Hampton / New York, NY), Meliksetian | Briggs (Dallas, TX), Spencer Brownstone (New York, NY), Gene Gallery (Shanghai, CN), PALMA (Guadalajara, MX), HAIR+NAILS (Minneapolis, MN / New York, NY), Soho Revue (London, UK), and Swivel Gallery (New York, NY) to its Main sector, while reaffirming its commitment to its Nest sector, featuring first-time participants such as A-Lounge Contemporary (Seoul, KR), Cierra Britton Gallery (New York, NY), Hidrante (San Juan, PR), Bolanle Contemporary (London, UK), Post Times (New York, NY), Long Story Short (New York, NY / Paris, FR), Sorondo Projects (Barcelona, ES), and John Doe Gallery (Los Angeles, CA).

Returning exhibitors to the fair’s main and Nest sectors will include Carl Freedman Gallery (Margate, UK), Miro Presents (London, UK), TERN (Nassau, BS), Superposition (Nomadic), CURRO (Guadalajara, MX), Stems Gallery (Brussels, BE), WHATIFTHEWORLD (Cape Town, ZA), CARVALHO (Brooklyn, NY), IRL Gallery (New York, NY), homework (Miami, FL), and Rajiv Menon Contemporary (Los Angeles, CA), reaffirming the fair’s longstanding partnerships and dedication to galleries from across the globe.

“We are continually reimagining what an art fair can be and the vital role that they play in the contemporary art landscape. This year’s exhibitors embody our commitment to discovery through new sectors alongside an expanded Guest Curators program. By championing emerging talent and supporting both new and established galleries, we aim to strengthen our community and also show the possibilities of what an art fair can achieve,” says Clara Andrade Pereira, Executive Director of Untitled Art.

The 2025 Nest sector is curated by Jonny Tanna, founder and director of Harlesden High Street and co-founder of Minor Attractions in London. Tanna’s curatorial approach, grounded in experimentation, seeks to bridge social and cultural divides within contemporary art. “I’m proud to spotlight POC-run spaces that are often excluded from mainstream fairs and to provide them with a platform to reach a broader audience,” notes Tanna. This year, Nest returns in a reimagined format as a continuous section within the fair and has expanded to welcome 36 galleries, embracing the spirit of community at the core of experimental art fair concepts.

As part of a new initiative aligned with Untitled Art’s mission to support broader diversity in its programming, the fair introduces a dedicated section to non-profit organizations as a branch of its Nest sector. Featuring longstanding partners such as LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies, Columbia University (New York, NY), Aperture (New York, NY), The55Project Art Foundation (Miami, FL), and Dimensions Variable (Miami, FL), the sector will also include newcomers to the roster such as NYC Culture Club (New York, NY) and New World School of Arts (Miami, FL).

Untitled Art will debut a new sector, ‘Artist Spotlight,’ dedicated to solo presentations and curated by interdisciplinary artist Petra Cortright. This initiative provides galleries a platform to showcase emerging and established artists, focusing on specific bodies of work and providing deeper insights into their practices. Cortright aims to amplify artistic practices that are often underrepresented in art fairs, focusing on digital culture and outsider art. “I was interested in incorporating digital culture, screens, and outsider art — even the concept of the outsider itself — into the fair as much as possible,” she explained. Exhibitors in this sector include Sho Shibuya with Bienvenu Steinberg & C (New York, NY), Jack Butcher with SOLOS (London, UK), Kelvin Haizel with Gallery 1957 (Accra, GH), Lyndon Barrois Jr. with Alma Pearl (London, UK), Eetu Sihvonen with Marc Bibiloni (Madrid, ES), and Joji Nakamura with The Fridge (New York, NY). This sector is generously supported by Shipping Partner, Cadogan Tate.

Allison Glenn, Artistic Director-at-Large of The Shepherd (Detroit, MI) and Curator of the 2026 Toronto Biennial of Art, will lead the fair’s Special Projects, featuring site-specific installations and ambitious projects from artists across North and Central America, distributed throughout the fair. Glenn’s curatorial focus for this year’s sector takes inspiration from Untitled Art, Miami Beach’s unique location. “South Beach is part of a long chain of barrier islands surrounded by many intersecting bodies of water,” notes Glenn, “and this year’s Special Projects sector will consider how artists engage with its many manifestations, including water as a connector, material, methodology, and conceptual link.” Participants under the sector will be announced in due course.

Both fairs in Houston and Miami Beach will continue to offer robust critical and educational programming, including a dynamic on-site podcast series featuring leading industry experts and artists, live performances, and the Untitled Edit platform—a series of commissioned essays that advance art criticism and nurture the next generation of art writers.

Continuing its commitment to sustainability, Untitled Art is a proud member of the Gallery Climate Coalition and collaborates closely with the City of Miami Beach to ensure a zero-impact presentation. The 2025 fair will also adapt its original Nautilus-inspired pavilion, custom-designed by Keenen/Riley for Untitled Art’s inaugural edition in 2012.

Visitors from around the world will be able to experience Untitled Art, Miami Beach through digital platforms and returning partnerships, enhancing the fair’s accessibility and global reach. Details on partners, prizes, and programming will be announced later this Autumn.

5 international photographers to keep on your radar

On view at MoMA, and hailing from the US to Nepal, they ‘use photography to connect within their communities and across nation-states’

By Janelle Zara

Launched in 1985, the ‘New Photography’ series of exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York has showcased the groundbreaking work of more than 150 artists. For its 40th anniversary edition, the organizers were guided by ‘the radical potential of image-making as a mode of resistance and free imagination,’ says Roxana Marcoci, Acting Chief Curator of Photography at MoMA.

‘New Photography 2025: Lines of Belonging’ features 13 international artists and collectives from New Orleans, Mexico City, Kathmandu, and Johannesburg – four cities, according to the exhibition text, whose cultural history predates the official formation of their respective countries. The throughline that emerged was a spirit of collective solidarity, where photography served as a vehicle for bringing embattled communities together. Across these overlapping themes and commonalities, the artists present a striking range of technical and material approaches to photography. ‘It’s a kind of deeper understanding of how people use photography to connect within their communities and across nation-states,’ says Marcoci.

Rather than organize the exhibition along geographic lines, the curators installed a series of cross-cultural dialogues, where individual practices converged and diverged along themes of identity and kinship; biological and chosen families; the importance of ritual; the preservation of knowledge; and notions of care. Personal memories merge with collective ones, as artists use photography to connect their lived experiences with larger historical events.

Since its inaugural 1985 exhibition, the ‘New Photography’ series has embraced a relatively quick pace of curation, allowing each show to respond to urgent real-world events in real time. An obvious subject for this latest exhibition might have been the role of digital technologies in our image-saturated world. ‘We are all connected, obviously, through our iPhones and social platforms,’ says Marcoci, ‘but we decided not to focus on this kind of instant connectivity.’ (In fact, the 30th anniversary show, ‘Ocean of Images’already covered ‘connectivity, the circulation of images, information networks, and communication models.’)

For ‘Lines of Belonging’, the curators turned away from the increasingly isolating digital world and focused on modes of connection predating the Internet, looking to communities that formed face-to-face in physical, sometimes private, spaces, and endured despite long histories of injustice.

Lake Verea

The exhibition opens with life-sized images of Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes, shot by Lake Verea – the Queer conceptual artist duo Carla Verea Hernández and Francisca Rivero-Lake. Their architectural photography examines themes of cultural and political heritage as it appears in the built environment, zooming in on the surface details. Taken from their 2019 ‘Uno a Uno’ series, images of Art Deco flourishes, for example, present an amalgamation of both pre-Columbian and colonial European histories, both of which continue to shape Mexican national identity, art, and politics today.

Lebohang Kganye

Lebohang Kganye is a Johannesburg artist similarly interested in exploring her national history through photographs. Rather than shoot images, she mines personal and public archives, merging historical black-and-white photographs with whimsical elements of theater and children’s storybooks. Marcoci describes the artist’s kinetic installations as ‘photographic stage sets’ in which cutout figures representing pre- and post-apartheid South Africa cast layered shadows on the wall. ‘Her storytelling points to the fabricated nature of history, and of photography for that matter.’

Sandra Blow

For both Sandra Blow and L. Kasimu Harris, nightlife functions as an essential refuge for the disempowered. Blow’s stylized portraits of Queer youth in Mexico City focus on fashion as an expression of creativity and self-possession.

L. Kasimu Harris

In New Orleans, Harris captures the subjects of his ‘Vanishing Black Bars & Lounges’ more candidly, documenting the distinct textures and aesthetics of the city’s Black-owned establishments as gentrification poses the constant threat of extinction.

Sabelo Mlangeni

Marcoci points to Johannesburg-based Sabelo Mlangeni as one of a number of artists on view who ‘embrace and explore the idea of love as a political unifier.’ Mlangeni’s black-and-white images of Queer marriage and friendships in South Africa capture the solidarity of their respective communities in states of celebration, self-expression, and joy.

Central American Modernism / Modernismo en Centroamérica

Central American Modernism / Modernismo en Centroamérica
by Mark Ford & Suzanne Snider

Introducing an Important

New Book on Modern Art

Central American art is Latin American art. And as this book demonstrates, it is Latin American art at its greatest – worldly and sophisticated and yet also profoundly native.

Modern art in Central American art shares much with the best of the modern art of Mexican and South America. But as this book – Central American Modernism / Modernismo en Centroamérica – makes clear, it is has a quality that is in many cases distinctly identifiable as Central American art, And among the Central American masters, there are distinct qualities that make each of them uniquely valuable.

Central American Modernism / Modernismo en Centroamérica is a bi-lingual beau-livre. It not only tells the story of how Modernism came to each country, it demonstrates – with hundreds of photographs – the magnitude of the talent that Central America contributed to Modernism.

It took 8 years for Mark Morgan Ford and Suzanne Brooks Snider to produce this comprehensive introduction to Central American art – researching and interviewing historians, museum directors, artists and their families, collectors, and gallery owners, and then photographing works, many that have never before been seen by the public.

Alejandro Aróstegui  ( b.1935 Nicaragua )Alejandro Aróstegui’s work is pensive and still. His landscapes (lakeshores, deserts, distant volcanoes) and cityscapes are haunting. His still lifes (simplified objects on tables) are, at the same time, disquieting and serene. Recycling the distinctive gleam of the aluminum can, Aróstegui’s paintings offer the viewer shimmering cities and rivers, solemn figures and grave forms. His best work is both compelling and distinctive. He is one of Nicaragua’s most important modern painters.Aróstegui spent years abroad (from 1954 to 1962), studying art. He studied at Tulane University, the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and the École de Beaux Arts in Paris.The year Aróstegui returns to Nicaragua is 1963. While Beatlemania rages in Europe, Russia sends the first female cosmonaut into space and the touch-tone phone is introduced in the USA, a group forms in Nicaragua that makes a loud noise in Central American art.  Artists, poets and intellectuals join forces to establish a meeting place where they can exchange ideas of social change without fear. They call themselves “Praxis” (practice, as distinguished from theory), and on August 23, 1963 they open their headquarters as the Galería Praxis in Managua.

Aróstegui of Nicaragua and the writer Amaru Barahona of Costa Rica met in Europe. They were concerned about the political and social issues of their countries. When they return home they reach out to artist César Izquierdo of Guatemala. Barahona writes the manifesto. The group functions as a democracy and seeks the intersection of culture, all of the arts and teaching. Revolutionary poetry, ancient petroglyphs and the natural beauty of their countries, as well as the political and economic realities inspire it. Their motto: action, dynamism and a permanent state of restlessness.

As naïve as it may sound, the “groupo Praxis” artists felt art is not just for the elite… and it must not be compromised by the end result, the audience, or the money to be made from it. Honesty in art is more important than beauty.

Charles Gleyre (1806-1874)

Movimiento Impresionista

El legado de Charles Gleyre es complejo, y su figura es una pieza clave en la narrativa del Impresionismo, aunque no como un practicante del movimiento, sino como una figura de autoridad que los jóvenes artistas desafiaron. Gleyre fue un pintor académico respetado y un maestro influyente en París, cuyo taller sirvió como punto de encuentro crucial para varios de los futuros impresionistas.

Su contribución más importante al arte, paradójicamente, no fue a través de sus propias obras, sino a través de los alumnos que formó. Su taller, una institución formal y rigurosa, fue donde artistas como Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley y Frédéric Bazille se conocieron. Aunque Gleyre les enseñó los cánones del arte neoclásico y romántico —como el dibujo preciso y la idealización de la figura humana—, su estilo estricto y su visión conservadora actuaron como un catalizador para la rebelión.

Los jóvenes artistas, que no se sentían representados por su enseñanza, encontraron en su taller un espacio común para forjar una amistad y compartir ideas que iban en contra de lo que su maestro les inculcaba. Sus críticas a las pinceladas sueltas y al interés por la luz natural de los jóvenes, aunque duras, los unieron en una causa común.

El legado de Gleyre es un recordatorio de que a veces, la resistencia y la oposición pueden ser tan formativas como la propia guía. Su estilo representaba el “viejo mundo” del arte, un mundo que los impresionistas se propusieron desmantelar. Por ello, Gleyre es una figura fundamental en la historia, no por lo que pintó, sino por el hecho de que su taller fue el lugar exacto donde se sembraron las semillas de la revolución que lo superaría.
