Art in Cuba and How Evolution Has Brought a Change Cuban arts are really exceptional to the art lovers because in these arts, you may get a blend of different cultures, including American, African and European. However, it is to be noted that at the core, there is a touch of pure Cuban art.

Uniqueness of Cuba’s art Most of the popular Cuban artists have considered European originality. During the initial period of the twentieth century, there were movements and revolution in the arts of Cuba, and all these improvements may be observed in the combination of contemporary artistic fields. To say about some recognized arts, we have mentioned the names of Amelia Pelåez, who worked on fresco projects. Another artist, Wifredo also developed individualism in primitivism. Revolution started in the art world of Cuba In 1959, when there was a revolution in Cuba, some of the artists left the nation, and they generated the art in their own form, whereas others stayed in their place. Again, during 1970s, conceptual art was introduced, and at that period, the importance was given more on the ideas, rather than on craftsmanship. It means that objects had been eliminated in the production of art, and the only thing, which is discussed, is the ideas. So, patrons had to participate interactively and follow instructions. At the same time, the definition of art also became expanded to include the art of performance and minimalism. After 1980s, the art in Cuba started reflecting real objective expression. In the world of Cuba’s art the renewal of this expression was affected highly, when new Cuban generations had been emerged because that generation did not identify any link to revolution. The fresh developments had been made accomplished with an Afro-American touch. Many novice artists, who took birth after the Cuban revolution, rose up against the traits of modernism.


Some followed the traditions of folklore, while others Santeria. There was a qualitative boost with the creation of international level art, arranged on Africa-based views. Colors, applied for art in Cuba, are highly vivid and bright. The artists make use of stunning hues in order to depict the ideal sights of pastoral life. Such simple art style represents the general worldview of Cuba, which means a significant delight in life. The naĂŻve Cuban artists have also brought out the sophistication in creative expression. If you have an interest in different forms of art, you may try to have to a look at the works of Cuban artists. Their works reflect different meanings to the viewers.
