This work is 16" x 11.5". Acrylic, graphite, collage and watercolor on paper. Done in 2002.

Eduardo Santana is a teacher of fine art at one of the Universities in Havana. He is a highly skilled artist, with a substantial degree of conceptual brilliance. Surrealism is a challenging genre for any artist. Some of the Cuban artists tackle this challenge as well as artists anywhere in the world today. Where do these influences come from?

 

Throughout Latin America, the European art movement Surrealism was enthusiastically accepted by certain segments of the artistic community. Many artists were drawn to Surrealism’s emphasis on the irrational, the emotional, the personal, and the subconscious. In general, European Surrrealist artists examined “primitive” art and folk art to discover an instinctive spirit, a reference point that was relevant to Latin American artists searching to establish a distinctive art based on their own multifaceted traditions.

 

Highly influential in the implantation of Surrealism in Latin America was the founder of the movement, the French poet-philosopher Andre Breton. In 1934 the Chilean artist Roberto Matta, who had worked in France for Le Corbusier, abandoned his training in architecture, so that he could pursue art in Paris, where he became associated with Breton and the Surrealists. His early paintings placed nonrecognizable biomorphic forms onto a receding spatial grid. In his later works scratched and drawn figures occasionally take on the appearance of menacing Latin American generals, operating as one of the few references to his homeland in his otherwise generalized time and space.

 

Surrealism also allowed many Latin American artists to explore their individual ancestry. Cuban artist Wifredo Lam joined Breton and his Surrealist circle in 1940, after they went into self-exile in Martinique. When Lam returned to Cuba, he began to examine his own African heritage: his mother was Afro-Cuban, and his godmother was a Santeria priestess. He explored this heritage in his work, depicting tropical fantasies filled with forms suggestive of African sculpture, masks, and figures. This emphasis on African forms also related to his contact with the Surrealists, who saw all “primitive” (narrowly meaning non-Western) artistic expression as connected with humanity’s common subconscious forms and experiences. Lam was particularly influenced by his contact with Picasso, who early in the century had used African sculpture as an important inspiration for Cubism.

Durable But Quirky Interactive Ball
Color: Blue
I am 30 now and my tolerance for toys that break in 2 minutes is basically zero. I picked this up during a weekend DIY project when I was fixing the deck and needed something to keep the dog occupied. The E TPU material is straight up impressiveuch abuse it can take from a large breed. My dog tends to destroy generic store brand balls but this one survived being dropped down the stairs and tossed against the siding. It is comfortable enough to use daily without feeling like it is going to shatter or hurt the dog. The internal compartment where you charge it is smart and those little pockets for the charging port are actually useful sized for my fat fingers. The smart movement is a game changer for keeping a high energy dog moving when I am busy with home improvement tasks. I was slightly worried about the 8 hour battery life but it holds a charge well enough for a few play sessions. My whole household uses this now to entertain the dog as he will not leave us alone otherwise. It works best on my kitchen tiles but it barely moves on the thick rug in the living room which is frustrating. The vibration is loud enough to be annoying when I am trying to focus on work. It is a solid 3 star product as it does what it says but has some quirks that make it less than perfect. Spending 19.99 is fair for the durability you get compared to cheaper options. I like that it is USB rechargeable instead of eating through batteries. It is not perfect but it serves a purpose in my chaotic house.

Engaging and Durable: High-Energy Play with a Caveat for Sensitive Pups
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Finding an automated toy that can survive the jaws of an aggressive chewer while keeping them physically engaged is a major win for busy pet owners. This smart interactive dog toy offers an excellent, high-tech way to keep high-energy dogs active, though its enthusiastic movement might be a bit intense for more timid pets. Dynamic and Instinct-Triggering Movement: The core appeal of this toy is its smart interactive movement. This automatic bouncing ball activates immediately upon touch, rolling and bouncing in entirely unpredictable directions. This erratic motion successfully triggers a dog's natural chasing instincts, keeping them thoroughly engaged and entertained for hours, which is incredibly helpful when you are unavailable to play. However, because the movement is so sudden and dynamic, it can occasionally scare more sensitive or easily startled dogs. Chew-Proof and Safe Construction: The durability and structural safety of the ball are highly impressive: *Chew-Proof E-TPU: Crafted with a high-density E-TPU shell, the toy is specifically built to withstand aggressive chewing and rough play from medium to large breeds. It holds up remarkably well against scratches and deep bites for long-lasting use. *Pet-Friendly Materials: The non-toxic, BPA-free material is completely safe and remains gentle on your dog's teeth and gums during fetch or heavy chewing sessions. *Injure-Free Design: The toy is engineered with smooth, rounded edges to prevent any accidental cuts or injuries during high-speed play. Supporting an Active Lifestyle: This toy serves as a fantastic tool for supporting an active lifestyle. It encourages vital daily exercise to help maintain your dog's physical health, significantly reduces boredom, and curbs destructive behaviors like furniture chewing. This makes it an absolute lifesaver for high-energy pups that need a constant physical outlet. Convenient USB Rechargeability: Powering the toy is simple and environmentally friendly. It is equipped with a USB rechargeable battery that delivers up to 8 hours of continuous play on a single charge. It also includes the necessary USB charging cable, ensuring you can quickly plug it in and have it ready for the next play session without constantly buying disposable batteries. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this smart interactive dog toy for owners of high-energy, medium-to-large breeds that need an indestructible, engaging outlet. While it may frighten more timid or anxious dogs due to its unpredictable bouncing, its premium E-TPU durability, great battery life, and excellent exercise value make it a fantastic investment for a healthier, happier pet.

Ymswznwe Smart Interactive Dog Toy, Pet Automatic Moving Bouncing Ball, Chew-Proof
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This toy has been so much fun to watch my dogs interact with. I love the randomness of the movements because it keeps them guessing and keeps the toy interesting instead of becoming predictable after five minutes. They definitely weren’t sure what to think of it at first, but once they figured it out, it became hilarious entertainment. One of my dogs especially likes to hold it in his mouth and just let it vibrate, which cracks me up every time. I think toys like this are great not only for physical activity, but also for mental stimulation and curiosity. It gets them engaged in a different way than a regular ball or chew toy. While I wouldn’t consider my dogs “power chewers,” toys usually do not last long around here, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well this has held up. At the time of this review, it still looks basically brand new, so it is pretty durable. I also really appreciate that it’s rechargeable. I’m glad I’m not constantly going through batteries with a toy like this.

Interesting Premise
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
It's an interesting premise for a toy -- it has a vibrating gyrator in the middle which turns on randomly for random durations. This then causes the ball to vibrate and roll around the floor. It really needs to be on a hardwood floor to move, though -- when I put it on their dog bed, it vibrates but then doesn't move anywhere. I tried a few times to get my four dogs to interact this this ball toy, but they are clearly not interested.

Great toy for a dog who is not afraid of noises
Color: Crab
My puppy loves this thing! She was confused at first but now she plays with it daily. I just let it jump and sing the first time. She looked at it with the cutest head tilt. It is a bit loud so if you have a dog that's scared of noises this might be the right toy. Now when she picks it up, I turn it on and she gets so excited! The different songs make the toy less annoying for me, lol. Honestly, anything to tire out a 4 month old puppy. She is very entertaining to watch.
