Felipe Jesús Consalvos was a Cuban émigré to the United States, whose private opus of scathing and satirical collages was discovered in a car boot sale in Philadelphia.
From found photographs to musical instruments, Consalvos' innate aesthetic led to a body of work like no other. The several hundred pictures and objects he authored between the 1920s and 1960s are especially resonant today, for they challenge the authority of an America intent on the cultural dominance of its immigrant communities.
The artist can also be found in the Forever section of Frieze, curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, who has described the material as: incredible, important and relevant.
