Description
Mario Carreño (1913-1999) inspired painting. Oil painting features two afro-dancers.
Carreño was an important early advocate of abstraction in Cuba. His paintings of the later 1940s and ‘50s moved away from the lush exuberance of his earlier, more figurative work, drawing out the universality of Cuba’s vernacular imagery through plastic color and geometric forms. A vibrant example from this period, Untitled explores rich tonalities of green and yellow that frame stylized, totemic forms within a flattened pattern of abstraction.
Size: 14.25 X 22.5″. 20.75 X 28.75″ Frame.
Condition: See images. Very fine.
