Color Photograph by Luisa M Hernandez: Che

Painted face glares from a peeling wall between two barred doorways.

This color photograph is from Cuba, and is dated 2011. 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. Full-color photograph of a crumbling red and ochre wall with two dark doors protected by iron grilles. A mural of a bearded face in a beret is painted at left in green and orange. A round sign hangs at the top. It is 12 inches wide and 8 high.

The wall has crumbled but the stare is perfectly intact.
