Santiago, Chile.- The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Museum of Fine Arts) in Santiago, Chile is showing “Eduardo Martinez Bonati: Homecoming” until May 22nd 2011. Containing oil paintings and watercolors produced during the artist’s exile, this is the first major solo exhibition of Bonati’s ‘exile’ work to be held in Chile since he returned to the country in 2005 (“Requiem” an earlier exhibtion featured his recent work). To celebrate Bonati’s return from exile, a series of exhibitions are planned at the National museum of Fine Arts. This, the first one, concentrates on works created between 1978 and 1986, alongside some recent works, drawings and a video. The title of the exhibition references Bonati’s pre-exile period, when he worked as a professor of engraving at the University of Chile’s School of Arts on the nearby Forest Park campus, now home to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
