  • Julio Lobo (1898 — 1983)
    D — JULIO LOBO — 1898 – 1983 JULIO LOBO (1898 — 1983) as a powerful Cuban sugar trader and financier. He was the W richest man in pre-revolutionary Cuba and the last of the island’s haute bourgeoisie. Julio Lobo remains emblematic of a certain way of life that came to an abrupt end when Fidel Castro marched into Havana. Known in his day as the King of Sugar, Lobo was, from the late 1930s to 1960, the most powerful force in the world sugar market, controlling vast swathes of the island’s sugar interests. At the start of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Lobo’s fortune was estimated at close to $200 million. His assets included 14 sugar mills, over 300,000 acres of land, a bank, an insurance company, and offices in Havana, New York, London, Madrid, and Manila. Born in 1898, the year of Cuba’s independence, Lobo’s extraordinary life mirrors the many rises and final fall of the troubled Cuban republic. The details of Lobo’s life are fit for Hollywood. He twice cornered the international sugar market and had the largest collection of Napoleonica outside of France, including the emperor’s back teeth and death mask. Today, the collection is housed in Havana at the Museo Napoleonico. He once faced a firing squad only to be pardoned at the last moment and later survived a gangland shooting. He courted movie stars from Bette Davis to Joan Fontaine and, when Esther Williams came to visit, he filled the swimming pool at his sprawling estate with perfume. Such are the legends of which revolutions are made, and later justified.

  • Oscar Benjamín Cintas Y Rodríguez (1887-1957)
    Biography of a Bibliophile and Owner of a 1605 Quijote: Oscar Benjamín Cintas y Rodríguez (1887-1957) ___________________________________________ Jack Weiner For Alan Benton, sage, scholar, friend, and warrior Y fueron siempre mis lujos invertir en buenos cuadros lo que otros derrochaban en yates, mesas de juego o queridas. Eso es todo. Antonio Álvarez “Pagué…” 43 he purpose of this study is to analyze the personality and mo- tivations of this Cuban philanthropist, diplomat, bibliophile, art collector, and businessman.1 I want to determine what attracted TMr. Cintas so irresistibly to his beloved books—and especially the 1605 Quijote—and art. This study will also show that quixotic idealism and benevolence fueled his desire to collect books and art primarily for the well being of the Cuban people. A collector’s paintings and books allow the scholar to peer into that collector’s heart and soul. 1 I thank so many people and institutions for their invaluable help with this study. They are the Newberry Library, Northern Illinois University Founders Library, The Johns Hopkins Milton S. Eisenhower Library, The Harvard University libraries,The Chicago Historical Museum, Jill Gage, Sir Hugh Thomas, John Paul Rathbone, Linda Seckelson, The Thomas J.

  • ARTISTIC ABSOLUTION Can Cuba and the United States Cooperate in Restituting Castro's Looted Art Collection?
    ARTISTIC ABSOLUTION Can Cuba and the United States Cooperate In Restituting Castro’s Looted Art Collection? Wendy Dickieson University of Pennsylvania Law School Fall 2017 Wendy Dickieson 2 In 1953, Fidel Castro, a young lawyer from the rural foothills of the Sierra de Nipe in Eastern Cuba, led an attack on the Moncada military barracks.1 Castro and his comrades were rebelling against what they viewed as President Fulgencio Batista’s corruption and tyranny. But the Moncada attack ended in a government victory, and Castro was arrested a few days later. While in prison, Castro wrote a speech entitled “History Will Absolve Me,” in which he justified his actions and outlined his plans for a renewed, socialist Cuba. After five more years of fighting, Castro emerged victorious, and quickly moved to establish a Marxist-socialist state. Despite his persistent belief that “history would absolve him,” Castro’s reign over Cuba never resulted in the Communist utopia he promised.2 Instead, his reform programs and nationalizations caused large scale emigrations from the island, created a weak economy with high unemployment, and fomented extreme discontent. Now, upon the first anniversary of Castro’s death, is an ideal to time to reevaluate his movement. Is it possible that history might absolve Castro of the mass pillaging of his country’s cultural patrimony he ordered in the name of socialist nationalizations? To determine whether such artistic absolution is possible, I will begin by looking at the implementation of Castro’s Nationalization Laws and their repercussions in the global art world. Second, I will examine the United States’ legal responses to the changes in Cuban property laws.

  • Cuba Downsizes Its Sugar Industry
    CUBA DOWNSIZESuttingutting ITS SUGAR INDUSTRY CC Losses:Losses: December 2003 by Philip Peters CUBA TRANSFORMSuttingutting ITS SUGAR INDUSTRY CC Losses:Losses: INTRODUCTION he May 2002 announcement that Cuba would dramatical- ly downsize its sugar industry made definitive a change that had been coming for years, and was forced by inter- national market conditions. With sugar prices falling steadily, and having lost the Soviet bloc subsidies that for decades made sugar exports artificially lucrative, Cuba Tfaced a choice: to attempt to revive the industry with subsidies and large investments, or to cut its losses and try to restructure it to make it prof- itable. Cuba chose the latter course, to the immediate benefit of the national bal- ance sheet. But a large set of challenges remains: completing the closure of half the nation’s sugar mills and the conversion of massive amounts of land from sugar to other uses; caring for the people involved; raising pro- ductivity in the downsized sugar sector; and producing derivatives that will pull profits from cane and its waste products. Sugar has an indelible place in Cuba’s history and culture, but as an eco- nomic proposition it has lost its starring role. The downsized sector is no longer a proxy for the health of the Cuban economy. More time must pass before the sugar industry’s retooling can be fully assessed, but even as the plan gets under way one can examine the plan’s design, how it is pro- ceeding, how Cubans view it, how it affects them, and the long-term implications. 2 L EXINGTON I NSTITUTE SUGAR THEN AND NOW The cultivation of sugar in Cuba dates from the 17th century.
