The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts has organized the innovative exhibition “Rivera’s Paris.” It gathers an array of paintings, drawings, and photographs to explore the Mexican artist’s formative early years in Spain and France, particularly his encounters with cubism that resulted in “Dos Mujeres” (1914), a signature artwork in the museum’s own Foundation Collection.
Dos Mujeres is a portrait of Rivera’s common-law wife, Angelina Beloff (standing), and their artist friend Alma Dolores Bastián. It earned acclaim when first exhibited in Paris and was gifted to the museum in 1955 by Abby Rockefeller Mauzé, sister to Arkansas’s future Governor Winthrop Rockefeller.
