Cañaverales 1956

"Cañaverales" is a 1956 woodcut by Cuban artist Emilio Sánchez (1921-1999). The artwork depicts a landscape with palm trees blowing in the wind, their silhouettes rendered in bold, stylized strokes against a muted green and blue background. This landscape, likely a sugarcane plantation, is a recurring theme in Sanchez’s work, reflecting his deep connection to Cuban nature and its cultural significance. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition, typical of his style, create a sense of movement and energy that captures the essence of the island’s tropical landscape.
