Enfantines

Margaret Ponce Israel lived and worked in New York City after being brought to the U.S. from Cuba as a child. Israel’s studio and home were in a Manhattan building that once functioned as a horse stable. While she lived there, the space overflowed with art as well as animals including a bantam rooster, guinea hens, doves, a rabbit, dogs, and a cat—creatures that often show up in her work, such as this mixed media collage.
