      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Schooled at San Alejandro, Juan Boza was one of the leading artists in Afro-Cuban art. He was expelled from San Alejandro, as well as the National Art School, for political reasons. Shortly thereafter, he worked as a lithographer in the 1970’s, but was also fired because many artists were being censored and excluded by the government during that time.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Like many other Cubans, he fled on the 1980 Mariel lift, living in Key West, FL for a while, and finally settling in New York. Boza left Cuba not only to escape political oppression, but as a result of suicidal thoughts.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">A student and protégé of Wilfredo Lam, many compare and contrast the two in terms of their extensive use of Afro-Cuban imagery. Boza was quoted as being very involved in his Afro-Cuban heritage, and was devoted to their religion, morals and ways of living. His art was a reflection of his own personal experiences, and became increasingly Afro-Cuban based after he received political asylum in the United States. Like so many others, he felt a sense of displacement and was alone in the States. It was only through painting images of home and his culture that he made his way in the United States.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Mainly, Boza was known for his installation pieces, featuring Afro-Cuban imagery and mixed media. He would create altars, almost shrines, of native masks, foliage, flowers, colorful drapery and other symbolic elements of Afro-Cuban history. His most famous installation was “The Legend of Sese-Eribo” (1987).</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/boza/TheLegendofeseEribo.jpg" alt="art"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Legend of Sese Eribo</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Though Boza rarely created oil canvas pieces, he became quite well-known as a lithographer and graphic artist as well. He mainly created lithos in the 1970’s, and due to his struggles with the government as a controversial artist, surely many of them were destroyed. However, much of his contemporary work most likely still exists, and to own one of his lithographs would be not only a remarkable piece of history, but a valuable piece of art.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">One way to tell whether you have a Juan Boza lithograph or mixed media prints is to look at the style. Compare it to one of Wilfredo Lam’s prints—if it looks similar, then you may have a Boza. He was a student of Lam’s and was very fond of his work, which one can see reflected in his work. Boza was never successful as an oil painter, but worked wonders with graphics. Some of his mixed-media prints include magazine cutouts and surreal, dream-like images.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Interestingly enough, there is another Juan Boza in the world. Nicaraguan artist Juan Boza Gutierrez is a contemporary potter and ceramics painter. Though his work could never be confused with the Cuban Boza, his name may be, and might cause confusion.</p>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Today, his work is owned in private collections, as well as in museums in the United States, London, and Mexico.
