A showcase, mimicking the emigration of its maker, \u201cCuban Slugger\u201d garnered critical and communal success from its Havana origins, to its most recent showing. At any rate, \u201cCuban Slugger\u201d united and transformed its audience regardless of interest; Tamayo\u2019s works to the sport enthusiast\u2019s eye amounted to monumental collectible baseball cards reminiscent of the nostalgia associated with a childhood spent dreaming, trading and playing. Whereas, to the art lover, it culminated as a pop-culture expression of Tamayo\u2019s homeland and heritage, a bridge of yellows, reds and blues connecting his native land of Cuba with America.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1707\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/artsolido.com\/es\/2018\/07\/25\/the-rodriguez-collection-introduces-reynerio-tamayo-to-washington-d-c\/37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n.jpg?fit=1817%2C907&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1817,907\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n.jpg?fit=723%2C361&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1707\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n.jpg?resize=723%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"37637325_10155876053323869_4370411647844483072_n\" width=\"723\" height=\"361\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Just as baseball has been coined the \u201cAmerican Pastime,\u201d so too has it been declared by Cuba, as author Gary A. Anuez described, as the \u201cSublime\u201d and a \u201cCuban Cultural Tradition.\u201d Tamayo celebrates the exuberance, vivaciousness and vitality of life through baseball with art as a conduit. With his trademarked humor and hilarity, he chronicles the history of baseball, portraying giants in the sport, the legends that made children (American and Cuban alike) want to pick up a bat and continue what he portrays as a pursuit that transcends generations. So eloquently paraphrased by writer Adrian Burgos, Tamayo\u2019s art \u201c\u2026purposefully transforms the emotional and lived passion for baseball to the visual with imagery that reminds us the past is always in the present in Americas\u2019 Game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"857\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/artsolido.com\/es\/2017\/06\/13\/cuban-slugger-reynerio-tamayo\/2016_good-bye-big-papi_acrilico-s-lienzo_36-x-48in-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/2016_good-bye-big-papi_acrilico-s-lienzo_36-x-48in-copy.jpg?fit=674%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"674,449\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DSC-RX100&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1486561357&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;26.57&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0125&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2016_Good bye Big Papi_acrilico s lienzo_36 x 48in copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/2016_good-bye-big-papi_acrilico-s-lienzo_36-x-48in-copy.jpg?fit=674%2C449&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-857\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/2016_good-bye-big-papi_acrilico-s-lienzo_36-x-48in-copy.jpg?resize=674%2C449&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2016_Good bye Big Papi_acrilico s lienzo_36 x 48in copy\" width=\"674\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The artist Reynerio Tamayo was ultimately very satisfied and grateful in his speech, stating that he is happy to serve, in a certain way, as a bridge between cultures through his art. Henry Ballate, curator of the show, tells us that the exhibition not only attracted a great number of art lovers and sports fans, but also served to indenture collaborations and exchanges with important institutions in the world of the arts and collecting. Kendall Art Center depository house for The Rodriguez Collection, whose mission is to promote the collection and its artists beyond their community, with this exhibition achieves a production of national standing of what they have to offer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1704\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/artsolido.com\/es\/37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n.jpg?fit=1666%2C1253&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1666,1253\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n.jpg?fit=723%2C544&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1704\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/artsolido.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n.jpg?resize=723%2C544&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"37781387_10155876053363869_1758698260563755008_n\" width=\"723\" height=\"544\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Odette Artiles It\u2019s all about baseball for contemporary Cuban artist Reynerio Tamayo.
