The Arts Center is loaning one of its most important holdings, Diego Rivera’s “Dos Mujeres” (“Two Women”), given to the Arts Center in 1955 by Abby Rockefeller Mauzé, to Rome this spring as part of a major exhibition, “Picasso, Braque, Leger and the International Language of Cubism,” which will also feature loans from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the Buhrle Foundation, the Tate in London and Fundacion Televisa in Mexico City. The two women in the painting are Rivera’s common law wife, Angelina Beloff, and artist Alma Dolores Bastien. The show will run March 7 to June 30.
