GuayasamxED;n is generally considered Diego Rivera's successor as Latin America's most prominent artist. Deemed an expressionist, and with evident indigenous roots, the humanist spirit of Oswaldo GuayasamxED;nxB4;s work reflects the pain and misery endured by much of humanity during the last century but at the same time he conveys great human dignity and tenderness. Fidel Castro led a guerrilla movement in Cuba that overthrew the Batista dictatorship in 1959. Since then, the Cuban president has been the nemesis of ten U.S. administrations. He stepped down in 2007 but has regularly expressed his views on world events and political personalities in his famous "reflections."
