LOST IN THE MOMENT THAT FOLLOWS. The Ovidiu Șandor Collection
How is the Ovidiu Șandor Collection structured, and what new things does it bring? According to curator Tevž Logar, the collection rests on a trio of historical pillars that contest each other. The first pillar is represented by the historical avant-garde, which is further developed by the works of the postwar Romanian neo-avant-garde (i.e., postwar art until the end of the 1980s).

I could easily pick 15-20 works from the exhibition that caught my attention, but figured I’d start with this piece by Sandú Darié, titled “Estructura picórica (Pictorial Structure),” circa 1950 (full image at left, detail view at right). It seemed pretty obvious to me that there is a strong Mondrian influence here, but then I wondered how a Cuban artist living isolated in Castro’s Cuba would have been aware of Mondrian’s work? I found some potential answers which I share below …
The artist, Sandú Darié, was actually born in Romania in 1908, and lived in Paris for part of the 1930s before moving to Cuba in 1941, where he settled in Havanna. Mondrian, who lived in the Netherlands, Paris, and N
