This exceptional selection of works further enriches the Library’s superb collection of Puerto Rican graphic arts, offering students, scholars, and the public invaluable opportunities to study and appreciate Puerto Rico’s rich artistic legacy and visual culture. In the words of Arcadio and Alma, "in these uncertain times, we are grateful for their preservation, hoping that present and future generations will get to know these artists and their art, and will explore the many cultural and historical connections that have shaped Puerto Rican communities."
