- Summary:
- Catalogue of the exhibition held as a tribute to the life and legacy of the distinguished artist Wania (Joan, Juan) Rimsa (Svendasal, Lithuania 1903-1978), very active in Bolivia between 1935 and 1950, where he would paint countless landscapes, personalities, sketches, as well as scenes of popular festivities, such as "Fiesta Andina", which portray the rituality of the altiplano and Sorata, as well as the daily life of the lowlands, the jungle, the villages of the valleys and the most rugged regions of the country. The retrospective includes paintings, sketches, drawings and personal belongings and includes testimonies of friends and disciples of the painter, who were inspired with his spirit and vision. At the same time, the exhibition rescues Rimsa's correspondence with poet and sculptor Yolanda Bedregal, muse of his paintings. The exhibition was curated by María Isabel Álvarez Plata, researcher and heritage specialist, and highlights the versatility, technique and diverse identity of the artist at each stage of his work.
