Life of an Artist

Last night of the Cuba Avant-Garde exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art. 

What a wonderfully interesting collection! 

Note on the exhibition: Cuba Avant-Garde examines a rich and varied history that few outside Cuba have had the opportunity to explore. Selected from one of the premiere private collections in this field, the exhibition features paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media work by 42 Cuban-born artists. It illustrates how contemporary Cuban art, while firmly rooted in the specific historical and cultural context of Cuba, manages to transcend the limits of geography and nationality to engage with and enrich a much larger global artistic discourse. Major themes addressed by the artists include the history of colonialism, emigration and exile, political and economic crisis, and social issues concerning religion, gender, and race. -Katonah

This one was a particular favorite of mine. The photograph was displayed on a light box bringing into detail the destruction of the architecture... what i find particularly fascinating is the lack of any reaction of the two people to the ruble and destruction, showing that this is something they were probably surrounded by.
