About the Item
This black & white photograph of a child and a tree growing in an open courtyard of Havana, Cuba as seen through an arched doorway is part of artist Ron Tarver's series, "Havana: A Place Out of Time." This body of toned silver gelatin prints "are an attempt to reveal what is beneath the contradiction: the place boiled down to its essentials offering a different interpretation of the city. One that creates a sense of poetry and wonder. And like the city itself, conjures more questions than answers. Havana is lethargically energetic, immaculately filthy, an illusive illumination. It is a wonderful contradiction. For every answer given to explain Havana, there are dozen more questions. It is a society held together by ingenuity, floating on an outdated dream." - Ron Tarver
Signed, edition of 15. Comes with a complimentary 24-page, 9"x9" softcover catalog illustrating several works in this series.
