Myra's Legacy
During
her
lifetime,
Myra
Landau
held
more
than
sixty
solo
exhibitions
and
participated
in
over
150
group
exhibitions
across
Mexico,
the
Netherlands,
France,
Italy,
Brazil,
Spain,
Chile,
Argentina,
the
United
States,
Cuba,
Guatemala,
Costa
Rica,
Nicaragua,
El
Salvador,
and
Panama.
Myra
Landau
has
been
a
solitary
and
persistent
creator,
untouched
by
currents
and
trends,
movements
or
upheavals.
Certain
of
her
initial
revelation,
her
task
is
to
continue
delving
deeper
and,
in
doing
so,
to
discover
the
world.
