From Sierra Maestra to La Habana: The Drawings of Chago

Santiago “Chago” Armada (1937–1995) established himself as the cartoonist of the Cuban Revolution and went on to inspire the next generation of Cuban artists. Chago became a symbol of revolutionary purity, and was respected for his criticism “from within the Revolution.”


From Sierra Maestra to La Habana comprises approximately fifty drawings from different periods of Chago’s oeuvre.
