In Havana, Fernández established himself as a crucial member of the Cuban
avant-garde. His work from the 1950s embodies a fauvist tropical modernism,
saturated with heat and movement. Caribbean fruit and flora are rendered
in dominant reds, yellows, and deep greens, reflecting the influence of artists
like Matisse. In works like Banana Bunch (1954) and Bacchus (1959),the brushwork
is impulsive and unrestrained, a far cry from the illusionism of his later style.
During this period, he exhibited both on the island and internationally as
part of the group Los Once.
