Catalogue Note
Issu d'une famille cultivée cubaine, Armando Menocal a étudié à l'Ecole des Beaux Arts de San Alejandro à la Havane sous la tutelle du professeur Miguel Melero. Il s'intalla en Espagne où il devint l'élève du peintre Francisco Jover. Il exposa avec succès dans les expositions espagnoles puis retourna en 1895 à Cuba dans le but de rejoindre les forces de libération au début de la guerre d'indépendance. A la cessation du conflit, il enseigna à l'Académie de San Alejandro et en devint directeur en 1927. Il fut membre de l'Académie Nationale des Arts et des Lettres de la Havane. Aimant beaucoup son pays natal, il réalisa de nombreuses scènes de genre et paysages cubains, comme en témoigne notre tableau.
