Our interest in, and love for, Haitian art doesn’t preclude our fascination with other Carribean art. The Carribean is home to many talented artists living in various countries. Our latest find is the art of Cuba. Due to the political issues that complicate both travel and trade between the USA and Cuba access to the art has been limited. Fortunately, we have recently become acquainted with a fellow art lover/merchant (Couleurs-Caraibes) who has access to Cuban art. Thanks to he and his partners, this wonderful, colorful, affordable art is available to us. We are proudly offering the Art Of Cuba as a way of expanding the interest of Haitian art enthusiasts towards other types of Carribean art.
You will notice that Cuban art is as boldly colorful as Haitian art. Some artists favor a style similar to cubism while others prefer a more contemporay abstract style. Still others paint traditional linear scenes of everyday life. One thing is certain, the works are eye catching, thought provoking, discussion stimulating pieces that will add dimension to any art collection.
It is important to note that in 1991, the Center for Cuban Studies sued the U.S. Treasury Department and won, thereby legalizing the sale and importation of original art from Cuba. If you purchase any of the pieces on our site MedaliaArt, it will ship from New York in 5-7 days.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the recent addition of Cuban art to our inventory.
Does anyone know what the restrictions are for travel to Cuba from the US?
Since the Bush administration, it’s been almost impossible to get to Cuba.
