  The theme of solitude, and the Denver artist's mixed feelings surrounding it, permeate "Mi Linda Soledad (My Beautiful Solitude)," a comprehensive 62-piece retrospective devoted to him at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.

  The CSFAC retrospective is installed in a set of galleries on the second floor, just off the connecting atrium that joins the landmark John Gaw Meem-designed building to the expertly conceived addition by David Tryba. The show was put together by Tariana Navas-Nieves, curator of Hispanic and Native American Art at the institution.
