Over 250 original photographs explore the visual legacy of the Cuban Revolution of 1959. The exhibition features works from over 30 photographers from Cuba, the United States and the USSR exploring everyday life in Cuba before and after the revolution. Only a lazy photojournalist who lived and worked in 1950s-1960s did not pay a visit to the Island in the Caribbean. The works reconstruct the chain of events that led Cuba from US-backed Fulgencio Batista’s corrupted gangster paradise to the state of Che and Fidel, the state of the Cuban people. Photographers back in the 1960s saw Cuban revolutionaries as true idols. Most of them openly spoke of their solidarity with the Cuban Revolutionary movement. And the photographs have forever captured the face of the Cuban counterculture and rebellion. Initially both Cuban and international photographers had unprecedented access to Fidel Castro and his young communist guerillas. Many of the photographs that were taken at dawn of the dramatic changes capture the spontaneity of the revolution. The display shows the most iconic prints that symbolize the success of photography in tracking and creating the image of Cuban Revolution in the outer world. It includes important images of pre-Revolutionary Cuba by Constantino Arias, Raúl Corrales and classics by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Arias for example captured both striptease dancers and expensive “kept women” from Batista’s best years and reflected society’s moods at the same time by focusing attention on the everyday reality of common people of Cuba, suppressed and unhappy with the Batista’s dictatorship. Huge part of the works is dedicated to Fidel Castro and Comandante Che Guevara. One for example is the famous photograph by Alberto Korda, his portrait of Che Guevara titled Guerrillero Heroico (Heroic Guerrilla) from 1960. Among the photographs previously unseen here is a series by British photojournalist Brian Moser depicting Che’s death in Bolivia in 1967. A version of Cuba in Revolution was first exhibited at The International Center of Photography in New York in September 2010. The display in Moscow’s Garage will run through to April 24.
