- Graciela Rodo-Boulanger
- 1935
Born in La Paz, Bolivia in 1935, Graciela Rodo prepared for two
careers; music and painting. She studied piano while attending the
School of Fine Arts in La Paz and later in Santiago, Chile. The quality
of her talent led her to Vienna, where she pursued studies at the Vienna
School of Fine Arts. The first exhibition of her paintings was held in
Potosi, Bolivia, in 1951. Since that time she has been honored with
one-woman exhibition throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.
Notably special exhibition included a one-woman show at the Organization
of American States in Washington D.C. and the Museum of Modern Art of
Latin America, and a special commission by the Metropolitan Opera to
create a commemorative work for the opening of their 1987 opera season.
She was also commissioned by the United Nations to create works for the
International year of the Child in 1979 and for the 1989 World Summit
for Children. Boulangers's scope, vision, and abilities in a host of
artistic media have combined to yield a talent that today is recognized
among the leaders of the contemporary Latin American art movement.
