FACES: Cuban Artists, a photographic documentation of over one hundred Cuban artists living and creating in exile, brings into sharp focus the eerie absence from the art world of these remarkable artists, detailing as only photography can, the rich diversity and complex world of this extraordinary group.
For photography lovers, the portrait has always held a particular fascination; part technical challenge, part character study. It's the sort of undertaking that exposes something intimate and revealing about its subject. Taking into consideration these diverse and numerous subjects and the variety of settings, these images become a veritable tutorial on the art of photo portrait.
The greater image here, however, is not of single artists within their world, but a large growing voice in our community. These portraits say something about us, how much we've grown, and they tell us about our potential. And they teach us about some of the things we take for granted in life.
