RESTITUTION SOUGHT
As Nazi reign overtook 1930s Germany, the livelihoods of many Jewish citizens were stripped away. Dr. Max Stern suffered such a fate, when his license to trade art at his gallery was taken away because he was Jewish, forced to auction his artworks at extremely devalued rates. After his death in 1987, a project began to collect those works auctioned off.

ARTIST'S EVOLUTION
Cuban-born artist Rafael Soriano's works are described as embodying "Oneiric Luminism" a style combining an abstract form of light, space and shadow with allusions to poetic and metaphysical impulses. This form evolved over time, from his folkloric themes that dominated Cuban art in the mid '20s to geometric abstraction in the '50s and a defined, signature approach by the late '60s. This evolution is examined in "Rafael Soriano: Other Worlds Within, a Sixty Year Retrospective." Above is the artist at work. Ends March 27. University of Miami Lowe Art Museum, 1301 Stanford Drive, Coral Gables. Free for members, children under 12 and University of Miami students, faculty and staff. $5 seniors and students. $10 others. Details: (305) 284-3535 or www.lowemuseum.org.
