This September-October 1991 issue of Revolución y Cultura features a serigraph by Luis Hernández Cruz, exemplifying the magazine's commitment to showcasing contemporary Cuban visual arts on its covers. Hernández Cruz's design employs bold geometric abstraction with a modernist vocabulary—oversized torso-like forms rendered in vibrant reds and oranges are bisected by strong vertical and horizontal elements in deep blue and black, with crisp white linear accents creating spatial tension. The composition reflects the influence of constructivism and geometric abstraction that characterized Cuban modernist printmaking, demonstrating how screen printing techniques allowed for bold color fields and sharp graphic contrasts.
This issue highlights Caribbean art ("Arte del Caribe Hoy") and features works from the Small Format Salon, emphasizing the magazine's role in documenting regional artistic developments beyond Cuba's borders. Published during the early years of the Special Period, when Cuba faced severe economic challenges following the Soviet Union's collapse, Revolución y Cultura maintained its production quality and continued to serve as a vital platform for Cuban and Caribbean cultural discourse. The magazine's focus on printmaking and accessible art forms during this period reflected both practical considerations of the era and a commitment to democratic art practices that aligned with revolutionary cultural values.
