They were created between 1956 and 1989 and make up a significant and representative body of work, not only of her global work, but also of the magical and attractive symbolic universe that Clara Ledesma brings to modern Dominican visual arts.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>About the presentation of this rigorous selection, Fernando B\u00e1ez Guerrero stated that it is an honor that the Museum of Modern Art, under the direction of Mar\u00eda Elena Ditr\u00e9n and its chief curator, Amable L\u00f3pez Mel\u00e9ndez, decided to welcome the Clara Ledesma\/Espejo de la memoria, made of more than 80 works from his collection, at the biggest art gallery in the Dominican Republic.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>&#8220;On this occasion, I am pleased to say that I have met my main goal as a collector, by sharing an important part of my collection of teacher Clara Ledesma\u2019s work. I have spent more than 25 years acquiring and treasuring the work of one of the most original and paradigmatic personalities in Dominican art. My gratitude to the Museum of Modern Art, the Ministry of Culture, to Abil Peralta Ag\u00fcero and all those who made possible this important exhibition and this new recognition to the memory of a great teacher,&#8221; he added.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>All the pieces that are part of the Clara Ledesma\/Espejo de la memoria collection have been assessed and studied by renowned historians, curators and art critics of Dominican art, among which are Danilo De Los Santos, Myrna Guerrero, Abil Peralta Ag\u00fcero and Lilian Carrasco. Each of these specialists has highlighted the originality, vitality and uniqueness of Clara Ledesma\u2019s visual universe; the transcendental potential of her extraordinary artistic legacy; her great social understanding and commitment, and her incontrovertible contributions to the integrity of the status of women in the Dominican Republic.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>The exhibit will be open to the public until January 31, 2016, on the second floor of the Museum of Modern Art in the Dominican Republic, Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm. The MAM is located at Ave. Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a, Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte, in Santo Domingo.<\/P><br \/>\n<P><STRONG>Photos<\/STRONG><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/claraledesma2015-1.jpg\" width=600><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/claraledesma2015-2.jpg\" width=600><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/claraledesma2015-3.jpg\" width=600><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/claraledesma2015-4.jpg\" width=600><BR><BR><IMG class=thinborderfloat1 border=0 alt=\"downlaod free\" src=\"\/portal\/noticias\/claraledesma2015-5.jpg\" width=600><BR><BR><\/P><!-- Arrow Navigator Skin Begin --><br \/>\n<STYLE><br \/>\n            \/* jssor slider arrow navigator skin 05 css *\/<br \/>\n            \/*<br \/>\n            .jssora05l              (normal)<br \/>\n            .jssora05r              (normal)<br \/>\n            .jssora05l:hover        (normal mouseover)<br \/>\n            .jssora05r:hover        (normal mouseover)<br \/>\n            .jssora05ldn            (mousedown)<br \/>\n            .jssora05rdn            (mousedown)<br \/>\n            *\/<br \/>\n            .jssora05l, .jssora05r, .jssora05ldn, .jssora05rdn<br \/>\n            {<br \/>\n            \tposition: absolute;<br \/>\n            \tcursor: pointer;<br \/>\n            \tdisplay: block;<br \/>\n                background: url(..\/img\/a17.png) no-repeat;<br \/>\n                overflow:hidden;<br \/>\n            }<br \/>\n            .jssora05l { background-position: -10px -40px;
