PEREIRA PERERA, María de los Ángeles. Fifty years of monumental arts in Cuba (1959-2009); paradigms and guidelines of a process of renovation. Apuntes [online]. 2010, vol.23, n.1, pp.20-31. ISSN 1657-9763.

The text proposes a general assessment of the Cuban monumental arts in the past fifty years by evaluating a group of criteria or guidelines considered to be essential for the critical judgment of this artistic expression. That is to say, how these works relate with the environment they are inserted in, what system of cultural values they make part of, what intrinsic values distinguish them in terms of artistic execution and conception, and how society uses them. From this analytical perspective, there is mention of those works that constitute real model of the process of aesthetic renovation taken place in Cuba between 1959 and 2009; renovation that is expressed through different functional variants (parks, squares, ensembles, and mausoleums), a renovation that embodies a new notion of commemorative monument.
