Author Description

Ignacio Fernandez was born in Camaguey, Cuba, in 1945 and moved to California in 1960, shortly after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Suffused with warmth and sharp-eyed vitality, the colorful paintings, collages, and personal narratives of "Visions of Cuba" evoke an imaginative child growing up in revolutionary times and a witty, irreverent sensibility coming to terms with the ambiguities of Castro's legacy and his own Cuban-American identity."
