Manuel Carbonell
Manuel Carbonell was regarded as the last of the Cuban Master Sculptors. He was part of the generation of Cuban artists, which includes Wifredo Lam and Agustin Cardenas, that studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro, Havana Cuba. Carbonells inexhaustible vision and his ever changingstyle are the product of a brilliant talent and academic background. Ceaselessly searching for the essence of form and the absence of details, he empowered a sense of strength, monumentality and simplicity to his work. Until the age of 92, he had continued to work daily in his studio.
Carbonell was born on October 25, 1918, in Sancti Spiritus , Cuba. He had two sisters the older, Josephine and the younger Angela. His father alone came from a family of eighteen brothers and sisters. The family history has its roots in early sugar farming, from the early 1800s.
