Amelia Peláez Del Casal (1896-1968) is considered one of the greatest Cuban artists. Her modernist paintings strongly defined Cuba and reflected the generations of artists that were repressed by Castro’s communist regime.  When Peláez passed away, there was an expectation to have her house turned into a historical art hub for Cuban artists to learn from her legacy and become inspired by her life and work.  However, as soon as she died, the government put a security guard outside of Peláez’s house and confiscated all her artwork, as well as her furniture and other personal belongings.
