TU-ChristiesA potent symbol of virility, strength, and power, the rooster is considered emblematic of Cuban national identity. Drawing on this association, the animal also figures as one of the most representative subjects in the work of artist Mariano Rodríguez. Known simply as Mariano, the painter emerged during the late 1930s as an integral member of the second generation of modern artists in Cuba.
