Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Edsel, Framed

Red car with an upright oval grille looks surprised in its black frame.

This framed color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. American cars from the 1950s remain a familiar sight in Cuba, where trade restrictions after 1959 encouraged owners to keep and repair older vehicles for decades. Small color photograph of a red car seen straight on, with a tall, vertical oval grille and round headlights. A yellow plate sits low on the bumper, with gray colonnaded buildings behind. A black frame and wide white mat surround it. It is 13.5 inches wide and 12 high.

That grille looks like a mouth caught saying oh.
