I Insulted Flavio Garciandía in Havana
I Insulted Flavio Garciandía in Havana covers the career of an artist who is considered a myth and a paradigm. For the first time, in this book, an artistic career everyone talks about is summed up (more than 800 paintings, installations, objects, drawings and prints), a career that had never before been seen as a whole, together with critical texts by important intellectuals from Cuba, Mexico, United States and Great Britain who have evaluated the various periods of his work. The works has been chosen and the edition made by Cristina Vives in collaboration with Flavio Garciandía, who suggest a retrospective tour, but in reverse: from is most recent projects up to his first drawings, watercolors and oils, in which he had already defined his transgressive and postmodern vocation. I Insulted Flavio Garciandía in Havana is a required reference to understand the work of this is artist, his transformative role in the history of Cuban art and many of the conceptual clues that are found today in the work of the younger generations.
