Raul Corrales; documented Cuban revolution in photos
By Mary Rourke, Los Angeles Times | April 23, 2006
Raul Corrales, a Cuban photographer who documented the country's political revolution of the 1950s in bold and poetic images, died April 15, according to Darrel Couturier, his Los Angeles art dealer. He was 81.
Mr. Corrales died of a heart attack at his home in Cojimar, a fishing village near Havana, Couturier said. ''He documented one of the most important events in 20th century history," he said.
''Corrales was political, but there is also a romance in his work," said Constantine Grimaldis, owner of the C. Grimaldis Gallery in Baltimore, who exhibited Mr. Corrales's work in 2002.
Perhaps Mr. Corrales's best known photograph is of Cuban revolutionaries riding toward the camera on horseback, straw hats on their heads, flags lifted high. The work has the grandeur and bravado of a historical painting. It became an icon of the revolution.
He took many of his photographs while he worked for Cuban magazines in the 1940s and 1950s, and for Periodico Revolucion, the government newspaper, starting in 1959. That year the country's dictator, Fulgencio Bautista, fled the country and Fidel Castro's forces took control.
His best-known images of the leaders of the revolution include a photograph of Castro hiking in the Sierra Maestra mountains, and one of Che Guevara, smoking and smiling. Several of his photographs became popular postcards in Cuba.
Other well-known works by Corrales are his portraits of the ordinary men who became revolutionaries, their faces full of character. One image captures the optimism of the rebels. Taken from above, it consists of a sea of hats and guns.
While the Cuban revolution was Mr. Corrales's finest moment as a photographer, he is also known for other images. He photographed writer Ernest Hemingway one day when the two men went fishing. They caught nothing, but Corrales came back with a photograph of Hemingway in a rowdy pose.
He was a self-taught photographer and got his first job in the mid-1940s, working for two newspapers run by the Socialist party. He covered a number of political protests and was harassed several times by political bosses who supported Bautista.
''Corrales' picture of Castro's triumphant entry into Havana at the head of a ragtag rebel army packs the emotional punch of such images as Washington crossing the Delaware," wrote a reviewer for the Baltimore Sun in 2002.
Once Castro was in power, Mr. Corrales traveled with him as a photojournalist on several occasions. In 1962, he was named director of Cuba's Office of Historical Matters, which houses the government archive of the revolution. He remained there until he retired in 1991.
