Art @ MIFF debuts with a profile on Cuban modernist painter Cundo Bermúdez, a prolific artist who exhibited throughout the world including at New York’s Museum of Modern Art where he was part of a 1944 landmark exhibition highlighting works by modern Cuban painters. Last year, a month before his passing in Miami, Cundo Bermúdez was selected to execute the Festival poster artwork and was excited about the collaboration. Since the design wasn’t completed, this year’s poster, titled Profeta (Prophet), is an homage to the work and life of this true Cuban master.
