This manuscript examines Consalvos's collage practice by speculatively tracking its orbit within a constellation of enmeshed contexts: the radical sociopolitical world of Cuban American tabaqueros; the fraught history of U.S.-Cuban relations and associated processes of cultural appropriation and hybridization; the rise of collage as a recursive development within both vernacular and elite or academic expressive culture; Consalvos's potential positioning within the aligned discourses of contemporaneous Euro-American modernist art and poetry (especially Dada, Surrealism, and Pop); the artist's self-declared role as \"healer\"; and the machinations of the contemporary North American art market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47586539438231,"sku":"9781300178170","price":3770.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781300178170.webp?v=1774964464","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dream-the-rest-on-the-mystery-and-vernacular-modernism-of-felipe-jesus-consalvos-cubamerican-cigarmaker-creator-healer-man-9781300178170","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
