Carl De Keyzer - Cuba The Struggle - Lannoo

The Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer went to Cuba and returned with astonishing images, often tragicomic, of a divided country. Fidel Castro on a wall mural, while a man in the same photo wears a T-shirt with the word "FBI". Four Cubans withdraw money at a bank, while Che Guevara watches them from a portrait above their heads.
In his new photographic book, with an introduction by curator and publicist Gabriela Salgado, Carl De Keyzer captures Cuba's duality through his images. With a masterful eye, he paints a portrait of a country still rooted in communism, yet aspiring to Western capitalism.
