While the dynamics of the Revolution in 1959 frame many conversations about Cuba, this volume seeks a longer historical trajectory by focusing on the 19th century--with visual interpretations and commentary by 21st-century artists. American artists William Glackens, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, and Willard Metcalf are featured alongside contemporary artists including Juan Carlos Alom, Mar? Magdalena Campos-Pons, and Juana Vald駸. Two new interviews with artists Juana Vald駸 and Carlos Martiel conducted by Donette Francis and Elvia Rosa Castro highlight the importance of contemporary Cuban art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ground-breaking exploration of the Cuban landscape in the imagination of American and Cuban artists, \u003ci\u003eIn the Mind's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e opens new avenues of inquiry about the Caribbean island which has played an outsized role in global politics, economics, and culture. For centuries an Edenic image of fantasy and escapism has been projected onto Cuba by observers from North America and Europe. Until recent times, the harsh historical and contemporary realities of servitude, racial strife, and environmental degradation rarely colored artists portrayal of the country, presenting a skewed perspective on this nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Galpin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913875180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913875183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Amy Galpin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074145448191,"sku":"9781913875183","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f4b6a4f-78e1-4689-9704-d0137dcebf0c.jpg?v=1685452047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-minds-eye-amy-galpin-9781913875183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
