The very Puerto Rican art of Lorenzo Homar can also call New York City home

WNYC News | May 6, 2025

An ongoing exhibit at Manhattan's Poster House museum is taking visitors on a trip to Puerto Rico.

The museum has been running "Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar" since March. The exhibition aims to put a spotlight on the on its titular subject, who some art historians call the father of Puerto Rican printmaking. 

"The easiest thing to say about Homar is that he is without a doubt one of the leading printmakers and poster makers of the Americas," said Alejandro Anreus, the exhibit's curator and an Emeritus Professor of Art History and Latin American Studies at William Paterson University in New Jersey. 

Lorenzo Homar's mixture of art and utilitarianism will be on display at the Poster House museum through September 2025.
