Under the Cuban Sun

Throckmorton Fine Art's show "Under the Cuban Sun" looks at both the Cuban eye and at its visitors' eye and spans a period of time that is historic: the early 1930s to present day, expressed Madeleine P. Plonsker in the gallery press release. Beginning with Walker Evans and concluding with the work of Raúl Cañibano, the gallery offers a walk through time and space. Walker Evans first photographed Cuba in the thirties. Raúl Cañibano is today's masterful Cuban equivalent." Both have directed their gaze toward the nitty gritty of Cuban everyday life: the posed dockworker, the striding school boy. They look out at us with their body language that speaks volumes about the human condition; which without saying a word tells us everything. The exhibition includes work by Jesse Fernandez, Hector Garcia, Alberto Korda, Leo Matiz, Rodrigo Moya, Mario Algaze, Juan Carlos Alom, Jose Antoni Carrera, and Raúl Cañibano, Susan S. Banks, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jane Cytryn, Graciela Iturbide, Joseph Ney, Michael Scalisi and Christophe Von Hohenberg. The show will be open until September 17, only closing the last week of August.
