A Seer Under the Sky of Amida Liannys Lisset Peña Rodríguez

Dedicated to preserving the history and significance of Cuban art, the Rodríguez Collection showcases the work of artists who have established the key tenets of a visual language with global implications that reach beyond the island and its diaspora. The artists represent more than a Cuban identity as they come to be recognized in international venues as an affirmation of the island's long tradition of creativity, academic and technical excellence, even under the worst of circumstances. Cuban artists, who established a new course of modernism for the country, to the most outstanding artists of the present day, have become part of the Rodríguez Collection and this book serves as official documentation of an artistic and cultural journey revealed through works of art. The Collection is also more than just a selection chosen by a single person, it reflects the community in which so many of the artists now live and work, and a venue for discourse and sharing that continuously develops its curatorial concepts to introduce new ideas, artists and works of art, and bridge the gaps of time and place. The Rodríguez Collection of Cuban Artists promises to be just the beginning of an ever-expanding gathering of art, artists and information critical to understanding and sustaining the artistic trajectory that represents the best of Cuba.
