In 1943, Carreņo created nine iconic duco paintings,
eight of which were shown at the Lyceum in Havana.
Two of the most monumental, Fire in the Farm
and Afro-Cuban Dance, are exhibited together
at Cernuda Arte for the first time
since Vero Beach Museum in 2017.
These duco works are a cornerstone
of 20th-century Latin American art.
Fire in the Farm was thought lost for decades
until its acquisition by Cernuda Arte in 2006.
It is now belongs to a major private collection in Coral Gables.
Afro-Cuban Dance has been shown at major institutions
including MoMA (1944) and the National Gallery (1945).
Both works are featured in Modern Art in 1940s Cuba:
Havana's Artists, Critics, and Exhibitions
by Dr. Alejandro Anreus (UF Press, 2025).
