Milwaukee Art Museum Presents Drawings of Martin Ramirez

Milwaukee, WI, July 30, 2007-Martín Ramírez, on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum October 6, 2007-January 13, 2008, is the first major retrospective in nearly twenty years dedicated to the complex, multilayered drawings of this Mexican self-taught artistic genius. This holistic exhibition reconsiders the long-held classification of Ramírez as a “schizophrenic artist” and presents his drawings in a major metropolitan museum alongside artists in the art-historical canon, as works of artistic quality and merit.
