Niemeyer was a great fan a admirer of the cuban revolution and goverment and gifted this sculpture to Castro in 2008, Castro put it in the University of Havana, it depicts a brave human with the flag of cuba fighting a monster (imperialism)
Castro once (jokingly) said he and Niemeyer were the last communists on the planet
When Niemeyer died at age 104 in 2012, Fidel and Raúl sent flower crowns (like the huge ones, not the tumblr ones) to his funeral :( “to the unconditional friend of cuba, from Fidel Castro” “dear friend Niemeyer from Raúl Castro” and even the embassador sent one
