Abstract
The Cuban visual arts collective Los Carpinteros came of age during the country's “Special Period” in the 1990s, a time when the country's economy collapsed, along with the enthusiasm and revolutionary commitment of an earlier time. Their work, which became internationally known for its exquisite craftsmanship and subtle irony, exemplifies a shift in much Cuban art of the period as it struggled to contend with an artistic legacy of political critique, a rising market and revolutionary exhaustion. This essay analyzes two of their works in relation to the social and historical frameworks from which they arose.
