    Information from the artist Nathan Benn:
    I took this photograph on assignment for National Geographic Magazine in 1981 for a state story on Florida. The subject is self-taught "memory artist" Mario Sanchez (1908-2005) holding a memory painting on the veranda of his home in Key West. Cuban-American, Mr. Sanchez began working artistically in 1930 on media like paper bags and cedar wood boards. ... Described as a "memory artist" like Grandma Moses or Clementine Hunter, after earning a business degree in stenography in 1925, Sanchez went to Ybor City in Tampa. This work is a bas relief of a tropical scene.

    Print in permanent collection of HistoryMiami Museum
