Cuba Avant-Garde : Contemporary Cuban Art from the Farber Collection / Arte Contemporaneo Cubano De La Coleccion Farber, Hardcover by Chircuri, Abelardo G. Mena; Oliver-smith, Kerry (CON); Alfonso, Magda Gonzalez-Mora (CON); Delson, Susan (TRN), ISBN 0976255243, ISBN-13 9780976255246, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume presents 59 examples of contemporary Cuban art drawn from the distinguished collection of Howard and Patricia Farber (New York and Miami Beach). Created primarily during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, these evocative works represent the combination of utopian impulses and dystopian realities, the ruptures and new beginnings that have characterized Cuban art. Although the underlying issues are serious, many of the works are imbued with a sense of humor and irony, and all demonstrate a clear commitment to the Cuban homeland.
