Abstract (en)

On the life and work of the Cuban painter, a resident of the United States since 1980. Cites his wide repertory of symbols and their sources, and notes Afro-Cuban as well as western influences on his art, especially surrealism and abstract expressionism. Argues for the need to rethink our critical approach to "Hispanic" art and to avoid ethnocentric generalizations.
