RHC 2023 pocket calendar with the image of Carlos Puebla

By: Pedro Martínez Pírez

The Radio Habana Cuba 2023 pocket calendar, illustrated with the portrait that the Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamín made in his home in Quito of the Cantor of the Cuban Revolution, Carlos Puebla, will be presented at the headquarters of the Casa Museo Guayasamín in Havana, on Friday, February 10 at 3:00 pm.

All those attending the event will receive a copy of the small work of art, which was published in Madrid thanks to the solidarity of our friend Gabriel Navarrete Martinez, President of the Spanish Association for Culture and International Cooperation and Honorary Member of the Guayasamin Foundation.

Fabian Betancourt, director of the Guayasamin House Museum, announced that the original work of the Painter of Ibero-America, created in his home in Quito on September 7, 1961, will be shown to the public that day at the House Museum, located at 111 Obrapía Street, between Oficios and Mercaderes, in Havana's Historic Center.

The Oswaldo Guayasamin House Museum was founded on January 8, 1993 in the presence of Commander Fidel Castro, City Historian Eusebio Leal and the Ecuadorian artist, and has been for many occasions the place where the Guayasamin Foundation and Radio Havana Cuba have presented the small almanacs illustrated with portraits of the remarkable Ecuadorian painter.

On this occasion, the presentation of the new pocket calendar will be a contribution to the tribute to the centenary of the Cuban scientist Antonio Núñez Jiménez, author of the historic voyage IN CANOES FROM THE AMAZON TO THE CARIBBEAN, which had the enthusiastic support of his friend Oswaldo Guayasamín, the only painter for whom Commander Fidel Castro posed four times in Havana.
