to ceo of museo de arte latinoamericano (in us)
he said he was interested in look the art
"hiden in socialists countries, because there will be
an opressed reality, and artists (he mint painters)
have the power to express that opressivity & fight against in a
simbolic way"
did you know that in cuba revolutionary filmakers (now in other countries)
