Eduardo Abela

Encounters with the work of Jules Pascin and Marc Chagall further shaped his style.

Upon his return to Cuba, Abela created the character of "El Bobo" ("The Fool") as a protest against the Machado government.

Abela's criollo character played the fool to satirize the difficult social and political situation in Cuba under Machado.

At this time he focused on an idealized view of the Cuban peasant and the countryside, as seen in his most renowned painting, Los Guajiros (1938), in which the Classical sobriety and order is the result of his contact with Italian medieval and Renaissance art.
