Overview

"Here is work by three generations of Cuban photographers that highlights the continuing achievements of Cuba s artistic community, as well as the social and political changes in Castro s Cuba. Shifting Tides: Cuban Photography after the Revolution, organized in three sections with a prologue gallery, includes more than 100 black-and-white and color photographs." "The prologue gallery provides a context within which to understand the images produced after the revolution. Included in the prologue are examples of the iconic photographs made by important photographers of the revolution s military struggle, such as Korda and Osvaldo Salas. These images reflect the heroic personalities of the revolution and establish a baseline from which three generational shifts in the conception and uses of photography can be traced." "Photography in the Cuba of Fidel Castro has been and remains a thriving means of artistic expression. Through their images, photographers working in the aftermath of the military revolution have compiled a legacy of a people, of a country, and of the revolution itself. From the pictures of the new social order that followed the revolution through the experimental reclamations of personal histories that defined a new generation, to the individualized spatial investigations of the most contemporary work of artists using photography, Shifting Tides: Cuban Photography after the Revolution provides insights into not only the evolution of the photographic tradition of art making in Cuba but also the trajectory and character of the revolution that spawned it."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
