Painting: "Mesquita" (sic; mezquita, mosque, Muslim temple); mixed media on paper; 30" x 32." In the "Imagining of Place" art exhibition (2009), this work was displayed in the middle of the left (south) wall.
Comments: I do not know which mosque—if any—the artist intended to depict (a bad idea when interpreting art), but it does remind me of the Suleymaniye Mosque (Süleymaniye Camii / Suleiman Mosque), in Isbanbul (La Estambul, in Spanish), Turkey, which, for me is one of the greatest and most glorious buildings I have ever seen. For a view of this Turkish mosque, see: => Süleymaniye Camii.
Humanities Questions: For a couple of images, your digital photographer-professor-curator now switches to constructions. (A) Why would a middle class Cuban American artists depict a mosque? (B) How does this work fit in the series of works you have seen in this particular show about García Ferraz's works?
