    Summary note
    "In collaboration with The Cuban Arts Group, the Harn Museum of Art is presenting Under the Spell of the Palm Tree: The Rice Collection of Cuban Art (Bajo el hechizo de la palma). This exhibition is drawn exclusively from the collection of Susie and Mitchell Rice and offers a glimpse into the complexity of culture and history that has inspired Cuban art throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century. Guest curators Gabriela Azcuy and David Horta utilized the work of a broad range of artists in the Rice Collection to display an inclusive view of Cuban art, reflecting on its current dynamic and the existence of new geographies as an essential part of its reality. Through more than 70 works representing 54 artists, the exhibition presents the narrative of a "crossing"--a virtual crossing of the seas as well as a crossing of generations, of artists living or having lived both in Cuba and in the Diaspora."--harn.ufl.edu
