After a trip to Cuba during the 1940s, Alfred Barr, legendary director of New York's Museum of Modern Art, bought Wifredo Lam's The Jungle creating a controversy; he put the Cuban artwork in the lobby of the museum. The Jungle is now not only the most well-known work of art from Cuba, but from all of Latin America too.
Regardless of exactly what, when and how events transpire in Cuba, change is already having an impact on Cuban art. At its November 2006 Latin American auction four artists who Christie's mentions by name that set new records were Cubans: Tomas Sánchez, Mariano Rodríguez, Augustin Cárdenas and Pedro Pablo Oliva. In the introduction to a 2007 exhibition catalogue, Ramón Cernuda, arguably the pre-eminent Cuban art dealer in the U.S., states: "We could speak of figures, volumes of sales, and prices reached to explain our rejoicing.“ And will the market continue to expand? Business Week says yes. In the January "Where to Invest 2007" issue, it cites Cuba as one of five emerging nations worth "scouring" for contemporary art.

Art is the only commodity other than gold which is constant in giving steady returns from the very beginning, Cuban art can make and had make its own money over a period of time, this means, Cuban art should not be taken as a short investment of just few months, but give it some time and this does not mean lifetime but at least around three years.

PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW; Stylists Of the Epic And the Surreal
By HOLLAND COTTER
Published: September 7, 2001
CUBA, shaped like a scythe, lies in the Caribbean 90 miles off Florida. For centuries it has been a kind of fantasy island to the outside world. Columbus thought it was the prettiest place he had ever seen. Later adventurers went there for gold and found it: ''white gold,'' sugar. With African slaves to harvest the cane, they lived like grandees. By the 19th century and well into the 20th, the capital city, Havana, with its thick sea walls and rococo facades, was a cosmopolitan magnet for businessmen, artists and tourists alike. Its casinos were lavish; its night life was tireless. It was where you went to be extravagant, liberated and bad.
Even the moralizing political liberation of the 1950's and 60's had its glamour. The revolutionary troops, with their scruffy-chic beards and berets, were popular international heroes for a time. And they were led by two genuine superstars: the baby-faced Fidel Castro and the Byronic Che Guevara. When their pictures appeared in the news, readers alternately flinched and swooned. With global capitalism triumphant, yet another fantasy is on the horizon: the revival of the island as the vacation spot it once was, a semitropical dream come true.
But what does Cuba look like from the inside, to people born there and defined by its shores? That story comes in many versions. And some of them are told by art, as can be seen in two exhibitions in New York at present: ''Epic Photography of the Cuban Revolution'' at the the Cuban Art Space in Chelsea, and ''Shifting Tides: Cuban Photography After the Revolution'' at Grey Art Gallery, New York University.
''Epic Photography,'' organized by Sandra Levinson, director of the Cuban Art Space, is a selection of documentary pictures by a few remarkable photographers who were on the spot when the revolution ignited, and the emotional heat it generated crackles through their work.
The drama actually starts with a 1955 portrait by the Cuban-born Osvald Salas (1914-1992) of a glum, exiled Fidel Castro dressed in a natty suit and tie and strolling through Central Park. There's also a second New York portrait by Mr. Salas's son Roberto, dating from 1959, by which time everything had changed. Mr. Castro, now prime minister of the Cuban Revolution, wears army fatigues and smiles and gestures with a diva's grace as he addresses the United Nations.
Meanwhile, in Havana, the photojournalist Ernesto Fernández had caught the revolution as it happened on Jan. 1, 1959, in an extraordinary picture of clean-cut students and office clerks carrying guns for the first time.
With such images, the concept of epic photography kicks in. It is nowhere more effective than in Raúl Corrales's panoramic shot from 1960 of a brigade of revolutionary cavalrymen with rippling Cuban flags, advancing toward the camera at full gallop. The tableau, which could be from a 19th-century photograph, a Diego Rivera mural or a John Ford western, has the pumped-up grandeur of history painting....
ERNESTO FERNANDEZ, LA HABANA 1939
Ernesto Fernandez has been for many years the favorite and personal photographer of Fidel Castro. These negatives have been filed for more than 40 years, until these photos were printed and hand signed by author Ernesto Fernandez This photo beside being an excelente Che Guevara portrait from the first days of the Cuban revolution, is a real historical jewel for every collector or biographer of the cuban revolution

Framing Cuba
The Photographs of Ernesto Fernández & Ernesto Javier Fernández
Framing Cuba is a groundbreaking exhibition. The show presents a double vision of Cuba by two generations of extraordinary photographers, a father and son. In their first-ever show in the United States, Ernesto Fernández and his son Ernesto Javier Fernández convey the continuity of a tradition of master photographers that extends back nearly a century in Cuba. Their photographs stage an intimate family dialogue, an evolving exchange between contemporary Cuba and the history that has shaped its landscapes.
Adapted from Alejandro Machado Font, Curator, UNEAC

Alberto Korda in interview wiht Ciro Bianchi Ross, in Paris on May 25, 1999 said:
"Ernesto Fernández ha estado en todos los sucesos importantes de la historia de la revolución, desde 1959: la limpia del Escambray, Playa Girón, la lucha contra bandidos y piratas, las microbrigadas, la guerra de Angola... Raúl Corrales, dice, "es el más grande de todos nosotros, es el autor de las mejores fotos que se han hecho en Cuba. Y ahí tiene usted, limpiaba zapatos hasta el día en que agarró una cámara y dejó a todo el mundo con la boca abierta. No hay más que ver sus reportajes en la revista Carteles y lo que ha hecho después del triunfo de la revolución. Y es que, amigo mío, un fotógrafo no se hace; un fotógrafo nace, aunque necesite de alguien que le enseñe aquello que por sí solo no puede aprender."
