Cristo campesino
The credits for the new image placed above belong to www.indigoarts.com, which features an archival gallery of the work of Nicaraguan artist, José Ignacio Fletes Cruz. Fletes Cruz paints in the "pintura naíf" style. During the Sandinista Revolution, he painted testimonial images for the Gospel of Solentiname, a liberation theology text that presents a socialist reading of the gospels, by Nicaraguan priest, poet and then Minister of Culture, Ernesto Cardenal. Solentiname was an artists' commune in the early years of the Sandinista Revolution of visual artists and poets who worked collectively to promote popular art throughout the Nicaraguan countryside. Much of the art and poetry that was produced in Solentiname was testimonial in nature.

¡Que colores más vivos son los de esta pintura! ¡Que imagen tan impresionante! Yo que soy de Centroamérica no tenía ni la minima idea del arte y literatura que han surgido de estos países pequeños pero ricos de cultura y con ganas por vivir y expresar sus gozos y llantos.
