Exhibition catalog published in 2011 to accompany a January 29 - March 27 retrospective of Cuban artist Rafael Soriano's work at the Lowe Art Museum.Rafael Soriano is one of the last great artists of his generation living and working in Miami. Born in 1920 in the town of Cidra in the province of Matanzas, Rafael Soriano manifested an early inclination for painting. After completing seven years of study at Havana's prestigious Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro, he graduated in 1943 as Professor of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture. He then returned to Matanzas where he taught visual arts for close to two decades. He was one of the founders, and later Director, of the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Matanzas, the most important art school in Cuba outside of Havana.In 1962 Soriano went into exile, settling in Miami with his wife Milagros and his daughter Hortensia. He worked as a graphic designer and occasionally taught, first at the Catholic Welfare Bureau, and later at the Cuban Cultural Program of the University of Miami. Soriano broke with regional and folkloric themes which once dominated Cuban art in the mid-twenties. Soriano first mastered geometric abstraction as a style in the 1950's, but by the late 1960's had defined his signature approach to painting. His work embodies a style best described as 'Oneiric Luminism' combining a purely abstract form of light, form space and shadow with an interest in poetic and metaphysical impulses.Soriano's works are included in major public collections, among them: Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes/Havana, Zimmerli Art Museum/Rutgers University, Denver Art Museum; Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin; Lowe Art Museum/ University of Miami, Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale, Museum of the Americas/OAS--Washington DC, Galería Arte Moderno/Santo Domingo, Zea Museum of Art/ Medellín.
