Cuban art and paintings should never be confused with cubism. Cubism is an art form pioneered by Picasso and Braque in the early 20th century; whilst Cuban art refers to those paintings and sculptures that were either produced by Cubans or are housed in museums and galleries in Cuba. Understandably Cuban art is mainly a mixture of African and European influences, with an inevitable hint of American art creeping into it in more recent times. Four Cuban artists in particular stand out from the rest:, Kcho, Paláez, Portocarrero and Lam. The main art gallery to visit in Cuba is the Colección de Arte Cubano, on the Trocadero.
