A director at San Alejandro Academy, Enrique Caravia would become the father of poster art in Cuba.

Born in Havana, Caravia studied drawing and painting at both the School of Villate and San Alejandro Academy. In 1924, he was able to move to the United States to study commercial art. By 1929, he had gained a scholarship to continue his studies in Europe, where he mainly took instruction in Madrid and Rome. After he completed his studies in Europe, Caravia traveled to Mexico to study engraving and print making at the School of Free Arts. Along the way, Caravia also worked in watercolors and became a truly multifaceted and talented artist.

Though he is revered as a landscape and portrait painter, Caravia also created a number of murals and even mosaics. Along with his interior decorative paintings, Caravia also exhibited his oil paintings of seascapes and portraits in the United States and abroad. Caravia held solo and group exhibitions in New York, Pennsylvania, Los Angeles, Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Madrid, Czechoslovakia and of course, Havana. Caravia also collected a number of prizes in his lifetime for his art, such as the gold medal at the Annual Hall of the Belles Artes in Havana in 1930, and the silver medal at the Latin American Exhibition of Seville. Caravia also won a number of first prize awards for his work in poster art.

Today, Caravia’s work is housed all over Cuba and in private collections. Upon his death, he left a countless number of engravings, lithographs and paintings, and proved to be a very prolific artist. Due to his wide range of artistic ability and extensive travel, the possibility for anyone owning a piece of art by Caravia. And just because this former director of San Alejandro isn’t a household name doesn’t mean that his art holds little value—one of his seascapes alone commanded thousands of dollars at auction.
