This article corrected some misinformed assumptions I had. Thank you, Professor Bernstein. It also provokes much thought about the place of artists in any society and makes me think of how artists were supported in the Great Depression of the 1930s in the United States by FDR’s administration through the WPA. One of my favorite quotes from that initiative: “Artists have to eat too!”—Harry Hopkins.

Fascinating story about an unexpected part of Cuba’s economy. Amazing to think about street artists making more than doctors!

One small typo: Sandra Ramos’ American art dealer is Mayer Fine Arts, not Maya. Online at http://www.mayerfineartgallery.com/
