Art Collections of the University of Puerto Rico

The history of art in Puerto Rico would be incomplete without mentioning the enormous contributions made over the last century by the leading institution of higher learning in our country, the University of Puerto Rico. The university’s commitment and unflagging efforts in fostering artistic sensibilities have characterized the education offered, to this day, in the lecture halls of our alma mater. Faced with rapidly changing realities, the Humanities and the Visual Arts position themselves as essential disciplines for a more comprehensive and inclusive education of present and future generations. In the hopes of contributing to this purpose, we present this edition of Visión Doble.

Resumen: No se puede narrar la Historia del Arte en Puerto Rico sin mencionar la enorme aportación que en los pasados cien años se ha gestado en la primera institución de educación superior de nuestro país, la Universidad de Puerto Rico. El compromiso y el esfuerzo a la hora de formar a ciudadanos sensibles hacia las diferentes manifestaciones artísticas ha caracterizado, hasta el día de hoy, la enseñanza que se ha impartido en las aulas de nuestra Alma Mater. Frente a una realidad que se transforma a un ritmo vertiginoso, las humanidades y las artes visuales se posicionan como disciplinas imprescindibles para la formación integral de las presentes y futuras generaciones. Con ánimo de aportar a este propósito es que presentamos la presente edición de Visión Doble.
