Rene Portocarrero was a famous Cuban artist born in 1912 in Havana. His family moved to Cienfuegos when he was a child, where he found inspiration in the U.S. tourist culture. Throughout his career he embraced the combination of American and Cuban visual styles. His works blended the bright and contrast of Caribbean art with the geometric qualities of European modernism. He is best remembered for his paintings, lithographs and papier collé, and for his contributions to the Cuban avant-garde movement. His works have been exhibited in many international galleries and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Important works by Rene Portocarreno include “The Festivity of Santa Barbara”, “The Goddess of the Sun”, “The Caseron of the Governor”, and “The Ruined City”.
