We were privileged to host one of Cuba's leading self-taught artists, José Garcia Montebravo, on his visit to Philadelphia on Wednesday, July 17th, 2002.
Perhaps the last great master of Haitian "primitive" art (the other being P.J. Valcin, below), Alexandre Gregoire passed away at his home in Jacmel, Haiti on July, 28, 2001.
I visited Cuba in February and March 2000, while people in both our countries had been worked into a frenzy over the fate of a six year old boy named Elian.
