Property from a Private Collector, Spring Isand, GA and Philadelphia
Description:
Jose Luis Cuevas (Mexican, 1934-2017), Los Borgia, Artist Proof, Experimental Lithograph, pencil signed, inscribed and noted as an 'Experimental Proof' middle left edge, signed in plate on bottom left corner and top right corner with May 14, 1968 date, depicting abstracted figures on an abstracted plane, in an ambigram style in black and white, matted in a painted wood frame. According to the consignor the pencil inscription is a personal note to the art critique of the San Juan Star. Frame size: 37 3/8 in. x 44 1/4 in.
Jose Luis Cuevas was born in Mexico City in 1934. He began drawing at an early age. While convalescing from a serious boyhood illness he became a voracious reader. At the age of ten he enrolled as an irregular student at the School of Painting and Sculpture, 'La Esmeralda' in Mexico City. He began exhibiting in the early 1950s and is regarded as one of the foremost representatives of the neo-figurative movement that emerged in Latin America from the late 1950s onwards.
Cuevas specialized in incisive satirical ink, wash and pencil drawings of grotesque creatures and degraded humanity, often including self-portraits in his compositions. Although he followed the tradition of Goya, his work was strongly flavored by 19th and 20th century literature, contemporary life and horror and detective films. Cuevas found the 'Mexican nationalism' of Rivera and Siqueiros distasteful, and he rebelled against the Muralist establishment in Mexico. However, he acknowledged a debt to Orozco, whose own satirical sense was expressed in his murals and early cartoons. (AskArt)Measurements: Height: by sight: 22 5/8 in. x Width: 29 3/4 in.
