CUBAN REVOLUTION., CORRALES, RAUL. 1925-2006.
La Caballeria. [Cuba, 1960. Printed 2002.]
CORRALES, RAUL. 1925-2006. La Caballeria. [Cuba, 1960. Printed 2002.] Gelatin silver print photograph, 12 3/4 x 17 inches (320 x 430mm), signed ("Raul Corrales"), on the lower right margin and blindstamped. With COA signed by Corrales.
Corrales was a member of the Partido Socialista Popular during the 1950s and worked as a photographer for the party's newspaper. He joined the Communist Party of Cuba after the revolution and became one of Fidel Castro's official photographers.
"La Caballeria," or the Cavalry, depicts a group of smiling victorious horse-riding rebels on a dirt road, seemingly emerging from a densely clouded sky, Cuban flags waving. This iconic image is considered the most beautiful and symbolic image of the Cuban Revolution.
