Spanish painter Pablo Picasso's artworks will go on display in Cuba in May, officials said Friday.
The collection of "Portraits Imaginaires" is scheduled to be exhibited at the Arts Center of Holguin city, east of Cuba, during the May Pilgrimage from May 2 to 8.
Alexis Triana, president of the Organizing Committee of the May Pilgrimage, thanked the culture ministry Friday for offering to host the exhibit, which features the works of an artist whose legacy lives on through the new art generations.
Triana said American art dealer Gilbert Brownstone recently donated the 29 works of the collection to the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana.
Brownstone, who chairs a foundation and a gallery under his name in Paris, gave four lithographs of the Spanish artist Antoni Tapies to Cuba in 2004.
In January, Brownstone donated prints and drawings by artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Andre Masson, Joan Miro, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol to Cuba.
The May Pilgrimage, originally a religious activity, has become a popular cultural event in Holguin city.
