Charles Anselmo Finds Beauty in Decaynew

Charles Anselmo has been traveling to Cuba for more than a decade, photographing the effects of economic deprivation and tropical fecundity on the colonial architecture of Havana (and also championing the work of Cuban photographers here on the big island). His large-format color photographs on paper and silk banners and his small-format black-and-white studies of Cubans in Deconstructions: La Habana pose Macaulay's questions anew for contemporary viewers.

The abstract expressionist wild men of yore have become our old masters. SFMOMA has its Clyfford Stills, and BAM has its Hans Hofmanns: 47 works the artist donated in the mid-1960s in gratitude for the Bay Area's early recognition of his art.
