Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picturing Cuba explores the evolution of Cuban visual art and its links to cubanía, or Cuban cultural identity. Featuring artwork from the Spanish colonial, republican, and postrevolutionary periods of Cuban history, as well as the contemporary diaspora, these richly illustrated essays trace the creation of Cuban art through shifting political, social, and cultural circumstances. Contributors examine colonial-era lithographs of Cuba?s landscape, architecture, people, and customs that portrayed the island as an exotic, tropical location. They show how the avant-garde painters of the vanguardia, or Havana School, wrestled with the significance of the island?s African and indigenous roots, and they also highlight subversive photography that depicts the harsh realities of life after the Cuban Revolution. They explore art created by the first generation of postrevolutionary exiles, which reflects a new identity?lo cubanoamericano, Cuban-Americanness?and expresses the sense of displacement experienced by Cubans who resettled in another country. A concluding chapter evaluates contemporary attitudes toward collecting and exhibiting post-revolutionary Cuban art in the United States. Encompassing works by Cubans on the island, in exile, and born in America, this volume delves into defining moments in Cuban art across three centuries, offering a kaleidoscopic view of the island?s people, culture, and history.

Download or read book Cuban American Literature and Art written by Isabel Alvarez Borland and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2009-01-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking collection offers an understanding of why Cuban-American literature and visual art have emerged in the United States and how they are so essentially linked to both Cuban and American cultures. The contributors explore crucial issues pertinent not only to Cuban-American cultural production but also to other immigrant groups—hybrid identities, biculturation, bilingualism, immigration, adaptation, and exile. The complex ways in which Cuban Americans have been able to keep a living memory of Cuba while developing and thriving in America are both intriguing and instructive. These essays, written from a variety of perspectives, range from useful overviews of fictional and visual works of art to close readings of individual texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a detailed picture of the lives of Cuban Americans through interviews with artists, writers, and philosophers. This fascinating volume contains interviews with nineteen prominent Cuban-American artists, writers, and philosophers who tell their stories and share what they consider important for understanding their work. Struggling with issues of Cuban-American identity in particular and social identity in general, they explore such questions as how they see themselves, how they have dealt with the diaspora and their memories, what they have done to find a proper place in their adopted country, and how their work has been influenced by the experience. Their answers reveal different perspectives on art, literature, and philosophy, and the different challenges encountered personally and professionally. The interviews are gathered into three groups: nine artists, six writers, and four philosophers. An introductory essay for each group is included, and the interviews are accompanied by brief biographical notes, along with samples of the work of those interviewed. Jorge J. E. Gracia is SUNY Distinguished Professor and Samuel P. Capen Chair in Philosophy at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. His many books include Race or Ethnicity? On Black and Latino Identity. Lynette M. F. Bosch is Professor of Art History at SUNY College at Geneseo and author of Cuban-American Art in Miami: Exile, Identity and the Neo-Baroque.

Download or read book Life Streams written by Lynette M. F. Bosch and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incisive exploration of the work of Cuban-American artist Alberto Rey. Life Streams explores the paintings, videos, sculptures, and installations of Alberto Rey, an artist whose work addresses issues of identity, cultural diversity, environmental studies, and global sustainability. As a Cuban-born artist living in western New York State, Reys current work emphasizes his involvement with his community and its local landscape, especially its trout streams and their surrounding environment. Through Reys travels from his home in the upstate New York village of Fredonia to the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and to almost every state in the United States, he has gained an understanding of people, places, flora, and fauna. This book provides biographical information about Rey and a contextual study of his work. The contributors have written about Reys work from perspectives based on cultural studies, identity studies, literary studies, and philosophical studies. Interest in his Cuban and American identities are linked to his interest in global culture and his recent study of fish species and environmental issues. As such, this book reflects current approaches that focus attention on connected cultural issues and contemporary concerns about the environment, conservation, restoration, and preservation. Reys work provides a new perspective on these topics as he combines art with activism on a local, regional, national, and international level. This beautiful book, with its meticulously researched essays, firmly places Alberto Rey in the context of American contemporary art as someone addressing issues of identity, hybridity, environmental ethics, biological decay, and resurrection. Like his trout subjects (Pacific coastal migratory fish introduced to the Great Lakes), he is a transplant, a hybrid. He is influenced by his many global travels, which, injected into his work, further supply the richness and texture that make him such an original artist. James Prosek

Download or read book Back to Blood written by Tom Wolfe and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay -- with officer Nestor Camacho on board -- Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night-until lately, the love of Nestor's life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, "de-skilled" conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, "spectators" at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, Back to Blood is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.
Download or read book Radical Conventions written by Elizabeth Cerejido and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Radical Conventions: Cuban American Art from the 1980s" was published as the companion catalogue for an eponymous museum exhibition (University of Miami/Lowe Art Museum, Coral Gables, FL, March 17 - June 12, 2022); the first such show to focus solely on the artistic production of artists of Cuban descent active in the US in the 1980s. Featuring scholarly essays by Elizabeth Cerejido, PhD (Chair, Cuban Heritage Collection of the University of Miami Libraries); Chon Noriega (Distinguished Professor of Film, Television, and Digital Media, UCLA); and Gean Moreno (Director of the Knight Foundation Art + Research Center, ICA Miami), "Radical Conventions" examines a pivotal moment in contemporary American art history. Unlike other texts examining diasporic Cuban and Cuban American Art in the 1980s, this book moves beyond the reductive lenses of exile, displacement, and bi-culturalism to frame the practices of artists such as Tony Labat, Ana Mendieta, and María Martínez-Cañas within the avant-garde's broader aesthetic and discursive tenets. Working in various cities throughout the U.S., the artists featured in this publication did not intentionally seek to be radical; in fact, they largely worked within the conventions of contemporary artistic production. Their radicality instead resided in the contextual factors and historical circumstances that defined their lives and informed their work: HIV/AIDS, identity politics, postmodernism, and Reagan-era conservatism. Many of the issues addressed in their works are both steeped in the past and intensely relevant today. In addition to substantive essays, "Radical Conventions" features full-color reproductions of all works featured in the related exhibition.
