The
collections were assembled by Robert Brady (1928-1986). Born in Iowa,
USA, with a career in the fine arts at the Art Institute of Chicago, the
Tyler Arts Center of Temple University and the Barnes Foundation in
Merion, Pennsylvania, he established residence in Venice for five years
before settling here in Cuernavaca in 1962.
During
his entire creative life he traveled extensively adding to the
collections, To be seen are major works of art by Rufino Tamayo, Frida
Kahlo, Miguel Covarrubias, Maurice Prendergast, Marsden Hartley, Milton
Avery and Graham Sutherland.
With
an unfailing artist's eye, Brady, a painter and designer, assembled this
rich mosaic of contrasting styles and epochs. The wildly colorful rooms
are exactly as Brady left them. Also the visitor will enjoy the
sculptures and tropical vegetation of the two patios.
