Legendary Cuban American Artist’s Work Honored on U.S. Postal Service Forever stamp.

Sánchez, who died in 1999, is acclaimed for his “architectural paintings” naturalist depictions of store facades and cityscapes that appear static. Dramatically colored and expressively lit, the works have drawn comparisons to Edward Hopper and Charles Sheeler, though Sánchez’s practice was rooted not in American urbanity but his native country of Cuba.
“This is a tremendous accomplishment, particularly given how long he had been unrecognized by the art community,” said Victor Deupi, a Cuban American teacher of architectural history at the University of Miami. “It’s a wonderful honor on many fronts because it gives so many voices to people of different races and ethnic backgrounds.”
