"The definitive text on Cuban modernism"
--Art and Antiques

...essential to anyone interested in Cuban cultural history and, particularly, in the art of the first generation of Cuban artists to reach maturity after independence in 1902, an avant-garde generation eager to define a national culture. ...the first English-language compendium of documentation on the vanguardia, in a clear, non-technical prose accessible to a general readership.
--New West Indian Guide

"Martinez provides sensitive and illuminating discussions of the work of a crucial but still insufficiently studied generation." "this handsome volume will surely become the standard work on artistic modernism in Cuba for years to come."
--Cuban Studies

"Richly illustrated with sixty black and white and color plates, Martinez's book is recommended for those interested in modern Cuban art and culture." - Colonial Latin American Historical Review
