sistance in seeking bibliographic information on Cuba. Special thanks to
Lucy Villegas, director of the Museo Nacional de Cuba, head librarian
Dr. Zenaida Terry Moliert, chief curator Ramón Vázquez Díaz, and their
staff for their generous help with my research and photographic documen-
tation of Cuban art. I would also like to thank in earnest the museums
and private collectors in this country, whose names appear in the figure
captions, for providing me with unencumbered access to their collections,
archives, and photographs. Finally, I would like to acknowledge a 1992
Mellon Research Grant, obtained through Florida International Univer-
sity's Latin American and Caribbean Center, which provided me with
release time to complete this project.
