Great Masters of Cuban Art (1800-1958) chronicles the historical development of Cuban painting between. 1800 and 1958, using artworks from the Ramos Collection selected by the Museum of Arts and Sciences to create an international traveling exhibit. In addition to featuring an impressive assortment of paintings, this book also provides previously unpublished Cuban art history information, and examines how Cuban artists used typical personages, magical landscapes, musical scenes, religious practices, and rural and urban everyday life to depict a diverse society, with a clearly identifiable culture, from which emerged a distinct and exceptional cultural heritage. The exhibit is the first, both in breadth and magnitude, to travel in the United States since 1958, and the book contributes to the study of Cuban art, as it serves not only to document the different genres and artistic styles. that developed in Cuban painting during the colonial. and republican eras, but also to identify the historic contributions of Cuban artists to the dissemination and blossoming of the arts in Cuba.

Choreographer George Balanchine discovered her. Yul Brynner romanced her. Genius artists designed sets and costumes for her. She danced for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels-who introduced themselves backstage. This memoir by the elegant octogenarian Irina Baranova celebrates a remarkable life in the arts. Born to privilege in 1919, Irina fled with her family from the Bolsheviks to an impoverished life in Bucharest, Romania. Despite their circumstances, Irina's mother managed ballet lessons for her daughter and the family moved to Paris, where Irina debuted with the Paris Opera at age 12. Spotted by the legendary choreographer George Balanchine, she was selected for the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo at age 13 and toured more than 100 cities around the world. Her husband, London theatrical agent Cecil Tennant, introduced her to a "who's who" of the stage and screen, and her circle of friends and associates included Marlene Dietrich, Clark Gable, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, Salvadore Dali, and Marc Chagall as well as ballet legends such as Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Margot Fonteyn. Her funny and moving memoir is not merely the story of a starry life but also about her remarkable instinct for surviving wars, heartbreak, and loss and her fulfillment as a wife and mother of three. Featuring beautiful photos and memorabilia from the world of dance, stage, and screen as well as a foreword by leading British dance critic Clement Crisp, this book will appeal to readers with a passion for the arts and life.
