For "El Loquito" I dared to write this chronicle. Except distances and took my hands in the down and cardboard. Light strokes, smart and bold, give me a typical character of struggle and political satire. Simple wear and has a hat on his rustic head, made of newspapers.
Ingenuity and expertise the creator of "El Loquito". That, the artist who was born near the Ariguanabo River on September 8th, 1937, today is his birthday and I am honored to write. It could not be otherwise. I waited the appropriate time to include it in my section, because without a doubt, the path that makes displays classified as a Village People.
"Mogollon", "Negative companion", "Blandengón", "Don Cizaño" and "The Bearded", are also creations that preceded the "El Loquito" idolatrous people, remember and admire. Occurrences and complaints Sentencing "El Loquito" for his boldness and courage. Only he dared to deny the excesses of dictatorship then in season.
Today René de la Nuez Robaina holds tha Raúl Gómez García medal since 1982, is the National Journalism Prize in 1960, exhibits the same distinction in 2007 between artists from Cuba and Illustrious Son of San Antonio de los Baños.
Talking to you, artist, stands for charm, wisdom, love, romance and attachment to a people who admire and respect. Meet 75 years with the nobility and freshness that you do, defines it as a tireless fighter for laughter and welfare.
In you live the teachings of Quidiello and symbol of Cuban overflowing between watercolors, easels and brushes. Considered among the hundred best cartoonists in the world, this friend who gave life to "El Loquito" breathing beside him, still faithful to the plot and timely riticism, transparent as giant like his river and palms of my Cuba. Shrink then words against this ariguanabense art, that just sixteen, the first cartoon published in the journal "Pages Circle" unwittingly brewing his own career with talent and love.
Get this chronic teacher!. I dare not caricaturing his face, because do not have this skill, but I try from my post chronicler, climb the slenderness of an unfamiliar work spots and places it in the highest place of Cuban culture. Congratulations.
