Context
Una cuestiôn de honor (A Matter of Honor) is part of a larger series titled “De Pico a Pico/Beak to Beak,
Face to Face” from the 1990s, providing a strong example of the artist’s earlier paintings. Exploring
the relationship between assimilation and acculturation, Suárez evokes the imagery of the cockfight,
which has often symbolized masculinity in many Latin American countries.
