Join us for a lecture on the history of Cuban Photography by MOLAA’s President and C.E.O. Stuart A. Ashman. The history of Cuban photography began in 1840, a few years after the invention of photography in France in 1836. In the early part of the 20th century there were portrait studios in Havana that rivaled in number, those in Paris and New York.
The conversation will include historical events in Cuba and how they affected the development of the medium on the island. Images shown include historic and archival photos, as well as the work of important Cuban photojournalists like Generoso Funcasta, Roberto Salas and Raul Corrales. Contemporary photographers represented include Juan Carlos Alom, Rene Peña and Marta María Perez Bravo.
