Notice biographique
Giulio V. Blanc (1955–1995) was a Cuban-born curator, art historian, and critic renowned for his contributions to Cuban and Latin American art. Through his exhibitions and writings in national and international art journals, Blanc became a leading voice in promoting Latin American art to mainstream audiences during the 1980s. His notable curatorial projects included "The Miami Generation" (1983) and "Amelia Peláez: A Retrospective" (1988) at the Cuban Museum of Arts and Culture in Miami, and "Wifredo Lam and His Contemporaries, 1938–1952" (1992) at New York’s Studio Museum in Harlem.
Born in Havana, Blanc was the son of Baron Lodovico Blanc and María V. Blanc, who fled to Miami during the Cuban Revolution, leaving behind a collection of works by prominent Cuban artists. Giulio pursued his education at Harvard, Brown, and the Institute of Fine Arts in New York. He worked with institutions such as Sotheby’s, the Cuban Museum of Arts and Culture, and the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art, and contributed to Art Nexus magazine.
Blanc also lectured widely on Latin American art history, including at the Art Museum of the Americas and the University of Miami. At the time of his death in 1995, he was completing a doctorate in art history at the City University of New York.
