...also what makes it intimate. The artists are some of the friends and teachers of Balteo Yazbeck, and his own art clearly bears their influence. In some ways, it is a self-portrait. “Pedacito del Cielo” is an attempt to physically register and record the thoughts and influences of one artist.

Its record for lifting people out of poverty is patchy at best. "It is very good at feeding hungry people, but not so good at improving their economic status," is Reader's stark conclusion. As in Spain's Golden Age, so too today: the potato's legacy is a decidedly mixed...
