The panther is the state animal of Florida, the last big cat surviving east of the Mississippi River, and an icon of the Florida Wildlife Corridor. A subspecies of the puma, the panther was driven to extinction throughout its range in the eastern United States, except for a small remnant population that persisted in Florida’s Everglades. Panther numbers had dwindled to fewer than 20 individuals by the 1980s, but conservation efforts have helped the population rebound to nearly 200 today. The biggest obstacle to the panther’s continued recovery is access to enough of its historic territory throughout Florida and adjoining states.

Cuban-born Agustín Fernández (1928–2006) was a modern master, incorporating a non-dualistic visual language of figuration and abstraction. Juxtaposing anatomical images with subdued coloration, Fernández is an artist difficult to position within the color-saturated Cuban canon. His ambiguous forms are evocative of flesh and eros, represented through a monochromatic palette. Resonating with the broader modernist movement, Fernández’s work explores themes of exile, separation, and abandonment. Self-identifying as a “painter of the brush,” Fernández was also an undisputed master of drawing. A first-rate draftsman, his works include depictions of ripped and folded paper, pins, hooks, belts, lines, and spikes. His aesthetic in both painting and drawing revolves around these iconographic elements, reflecting a world of aggression and conflict, physical pain, and metaphysical contemplation. Fernández examines these themes through a psychological lens.
