24mo. 37pp. Del Rio's expansive artistic repertoire here weds imagery and poetry, wielding a surrealist influence to address Cuban culture, including gardening, cars, and cowboys (this particular poem is dedicated to Tim McGraw, typo'd as "McGrow"). Del Rio remains one of Cuba's most internationally recognized contemporary artists, with exhibitions in Italy, Spain, France, Japan, and Ecuador. Bound in stiff card with hand-colored illustrations to both covers. Housed in box constructed from cardboard, burlap, and paper with ties of twine. Fine.
