The Lowe explore politics, dreams, and reality

One stark urban scene depicts a pockmarked Puerto Rican youth clad in leather with a cigarette dangling from his curled lip standing on a street corner while pompous civic types parade down the boulevard during Easter decked in their monkey suits and top hats.

You'll even find a picture of a movie house marquee touting the B-flick classic I Was A Teenage Frankenstein across from the mug of a Cuban revolutionary sporting a Stetson and sprouting more hair under his brim than you could pluck off a buffalo hide.

A portrayal of slaves by William Blake.
