I’ve seen the condors above the volcanoes guarding Antigua as well as the Christ blessing Rio in Brasil. The peoples of Latin-America are joined by two melodies – Glory-Glory Hallelujah and The Flight of the Condor. The latter is played by every piper and the first one is sung by children as well as old people.
Every one of the artworks on this exhibition has its story. The blankets I have brought from my trips to South America, the paintings are from the artists who have participated in our MAN AND WOMAN nude art exhibitions and been here, in Pärnu personally. The Puerto Rican Martin Garcia Rivera’s woodcuts are a gift to The Museum of New Art from 1996. We met him first at the Sao Paolo Biennale in 1994 and our friendship is almost 30 years old now. We hope that the artist will arrive in Pärnu with their new artworks next summer. Who else should we ask to the XXX nude art exhibition MAN AND WOMAN but the one who set the cornestone for our museum!
