MANUEL COUCEIRO PRADO

(Havana, 1923-1981): His painting was mainly dedicated to representing Cuban themes. From the beginning of his artistic work Couceiro reflected one of the conceptual sectors of our culture. It unfolded in tandem with his intense career, marked by cultural activism from his time in the Federation of University Students (FEU) in which he worked actively to organize the University Art Festivals. In his political activities he worked in exile in the United States to promote revolutionary ideology. He returned to Cuba with the triumph of the Revolution in 1959 and turned his energy to leadership in political and mass organizations

In the 1970s Couceiro was a member of the Executive Committee of the Association of Fine Arts of the Union of Cuban Writers and Artists (UNEAC), when the graphic designer Félix Beltrán was president of the Association.
