It features paintings created over a span of thirty-five years and showcases a distinct style that overflows with energy, biting humour, and suggestive narratives that often involve highly sexualised, monstrous creatures alongside the heroes of the Cuban Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComing of age in turbulent Havana, Tomás Esson (b. 1963) was a fierce critic of the social reality he saw around him. His work was showcased in a number of controversial exhibitions in the late 1980s, as the artist became a central figure in the decade's renaissance in Cuban art and began to exhibit internationally. He left Cuba in 1990 and moved to the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside his works, this publication provides newly commissioned scholarship and reprints of critical texts that are no longer in circulation, proof that Esson is one of Cuba's most important post-Revolutionary artists, whose work remains timely today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47433151348972,"sku":"9783777438085","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777438085.jpg?v=1774765476","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/tomas-esson-by-gean-moren-9783777438085","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
