Color Photograph by Manuel Larrañaga Sardiñas: Title Illegible, Framed

Red car idles beneath a flag-hung alley, with a domed building far behind.

This framed color photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Photography has a strong tradition in Cuba, where documentary and street photographers have long recorded daily life, architecture and the streets of Havana. Vertical photograph in gray tones with a bright red car in the foreground, showing a wide, grid-like grille and orange plate. At the top hangs a small colorful banner. A domed building rises at the far end of the narrow street. It is 12 inches wide and 13.5 high.

The red car carries the whole street on its bumper.
