About This Item
Bellamar, Matanzas, Cuba: Ediciones El Fortín, 2014. A poem, inspired by the author's trip to Mexico, bound in cardboard covers decorated with a handcolored portrait of the artist Frida Kahlo with a mounted artist's paint brush. The text of the poem is laser printed on white paper. The book, designed by the author, has handcolored and collage illustrations inside and a bookmark made for this production. Estevez (1953-2023) co-founded Ediciones Vigía, the acclaimed artist's book collective in Cuba. For the last ten years of his life, he pursued more personal projects, like this one, under the El Fortín imprint.
