Granma mosaic

Castro and the revolutionaries on the Granma. This one is my favorite propaganda. They look like they're going on vacation with the heart and the guy in the back playing the guitar. So happy!

Nothing was just tiles with just one color or plain. Just about everything deserved a close look because it had a design.

Fusterlandia!

Cuban artist Cuban artist José Fuster moved in to a house in Jaimanitas. He decorated his studio in colorful mosaic tiles. When he was finished, he asked his neighbors if he could decorate their houses and businesses. His art has turned Jaimanitas from an economically depressed area to, now, a place where tourists are regularly bussed.
