Description

Mariano’s World is a number of a Cuban exile’s art. From January 1, 1959 (Castro’s ascension to power) to October 22, 1962 (the Missile Crisis), over a quarter million Cubans sought political refuge in the usA. The “Golden Exiles”–for their collectively unprecedented success achieved within only one generation–were themselves children of immigrants. Their parents had settled in Cuba, worked hard, achieved economic security, and educated their children who changed into the pro middle class, the island’s backbone and the source of its prosperity within the 1950s. Mariano’s World tells the tale of these migrations throughout the history of two families from a small town in Cuba. The narrative centers around one man, Mariano Rodríguez Tormo, whose paintings, ink drawings and caricatures reflect his life and times. That is the tale of how these adaptable and resilient people survived, even triumphed, within the face of historic events and natural forces that shaped–and every so often destroyed–their world.
