Cosme Proenza Opens Mega-Exhibition in Holguín

Cosme Proenza, Holguin's foremost painter and one of the most renowned artists in Cuba, opened a mega-exhibition on Wednesday in the city of Holguin, at times of his 40 year non-stop carreer.

Under the title "Parallels: history and tradition of Western art," the exhibition includes more than one hundred pieces that review the various creative periods of the artist. The exhibition curator was Angel San Juan.

Parallels: history and tradition of Western art is a didactic exhibition that presents the artist’s vision of Western culture throughout five centuries of inherited painting in our continent.
