The walls of the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale are quietly, elegantly pulsating with passion, politics, controversy, violence, magic, humor, grief, longing and hard work.

A vivid Diego Rivera painting of a stone cutter is part of the museum's new exhibit, "Latin American Art From the Collection of Pearl and Stanley Goodman," and the companion survey of the museum's holdings, "Recent Acquisitions From the Latin American Art Collection." A bold surprise is around every corner.
