CROSSCURRENTS: Contemporary Selections from the Rodríguez Collection of Cuban Artists

by Kendall Art Art Center, Carla Funk (Contributor)

The “crosscurrent” for this show is metaphorically expressed by the art selected from the Rodriguez Collection in Miami, representing the New Cuban Art movement that arose in the 1980’s. These selections illustrate efforts by the first generation of Cuban artists to grow up after the Revolution of 1959 that dared to break from the statesanctioned ideology promoted by the government. Ironically, the New Cuban Art of the 1980’s flourished in spite of the increasingly oppressive control of cultural expression on the island. Carla Funk
