Summary:

Art from Cuba has occupied a unique position in the contemporary art world over the past three decades, reflecting consistently and in highly varied ways the specific cultural situation of Cuba and its citizens--whether still living in Cuba or not. This catalogue offers a nuanced view of the political dimensions, formal strategies, and aesthetic intensity of recent art from Cuba, drawing on the considerable holdings in Cuban art assembled by Jill Hartz during her tenure as executive director of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon. -- Page 2 of jacket.
