Wherever he went. Emilio Sanchez (1921-99) was drawn to the geometry of architecture.? From the colonial buildings of his Cuban homeland. to New York skyscrapers. and run-down shacks in the Caribbean ?C he saw the beauty in them all.? And he captured that beauty in his own distinct way ?C as if he painted a dream or a memory.
