Cuba Art at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

I recommend this exhibit to everyone as there is something there for the whole family. I particularly liked the Walker Evans's portion. On display was a portfolio of about 31 of the photographs that he made for the book The Crime of Cuba. The work has a strikingly different yet strikingly familiar look to Evans's photographs from the FSA project and his NYC pictures.




The Marcelo Pogolotti room was really inspiring. He has this comic book illustration style that's really fresh and came wayyyyy before R. Crumb.


All of his work was amazing but there was this interesting Hitler portrait with all these phalluses that Pogolotti made in 1935 before everyone else was using Nazi's.
