Ground or air surveys or both were conducted at all identified potential areas and locations previously reported in the literature. We define the current distribution as 10 separate localities in six provinces and the estimated total number of cranes at 526 individuals for the country. Two populations reported in the literature were no longer present and two localities not previously reported were discovered. The actual number of cranes at two localities was not possible to evaluate due to their rarity. Only four areas (Isle of Youth, Matanzas, Ciego de Avila, and Sancti Spiritus) each support more than 70 cranes.

  • Emilio Sanchez in Cuba 1946–1959: Mid-Century Modernism and the Search for Cultural Identity
    Emilio Sanchez in Cuba 1946–1959: Mid-Century Modernism and the Search for Cultural Identity The Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez (1921-1999) was a painter and printmaker active in New York City and the Caribbean, specializing in the architecture and land- scapes of the West Indies.1 As a realist painter he was attracted to Cuban folklore and the vernacular, with archi- tectural scenes of everyday life in Cuba taking prefer- ence to the great historical narratives of western culture. His keen eye and remarkable ability to edit incidental elements made him also a painter of architectural enigmas with dreamlike effects, “as if the buildings Victor Deupi he represented existed only in memory and not in the immanent world”.2 In New York Institute of Technology this sense, Sanchez’ work falls well within the mid-century generation of van- guardia artists such as Amelia Peláez (1896-1968), Marcelo Pogolotti (1902- 88), and Mario Carreño (1913-99), all of whom sought a more abstract and transcendental national identity for Cuban art.3 The city of Havana and its environs were at the core of this Cuban iconology, and the full repertory of the city’s natural attributes and artifice served the collective effort resulting in what is now commonly referred to as “el arte moderno Cubano”. Sanchez though was unique among the modern Cuban artists of this period as he lived and worked primarily in New York.4 Nevertheless, it was during his trips to Cuba from 1946-59 that Sanchez began to explore through pencil and ink drawings and watercolors the light and shadow of the island’s architecture and countryside, a study of its cities, towns and landscapes that would absorb him for the remainder of his life and serve as his eternal muse.5 BACKGROUND AND TRAINING Emilio Sanchez was born in the rural countryside of Camagüey into an ancient and prominent family that was among the leading Cuban house- holds in the sugar and cattle industries.6 Raised in an elite society, he left his native country in the late 1930s to study in America.
