The streets of East Harlem, in New York, one of the areas where the largest Latino population in Manhattan is concentrated, at the end of April will have a huge mural by Carmen Herrera, the 104-year-old Cuban artist whose work started being recognized just about fifteen years ago.<\/p>\n
The piece is titled Un Dos Tres<\/em> and is more than 16 meters long and 5 meters high and will be located on the facade of the Artistic and Academic College of East Manhattan.<\/p>\n As of April 18, students of the Publicolor program, a project designed for young people belonging to communities at risk of exclusion, will be responsible for materializing it.<\/p>\n \u201cI am very proud to offer this image to the Spanish Harlem (as the area is known),\u201d Herrera said in a statement, adding: \u201cIn particular, I am proud that Publicolor students, many of whom speak Spanish, such as I, are being the ones to create it.\u201d<\/p>\n Un Dos Tres<\/em> is a \u201cfree adaptation\u201d the artist has made of a 1987 painting titled Diagonal<\/em>, with black and white lines to form several square and rhomboid figures.<\/p>\n
