About the Item

Jarron Con Flores, ink on paper by Rene Portocarrero (1912-1985). This wonderful drawing made by Rene Portocarrero, is one of the few that survive from his artistic period of the 1940s and 1950s. This kind of finished drawings made on paper from this period of the artist's work are extremely rare. Between the 1940s and early 1950s, Portocarrero experimented with organic conceptions of still life such as flowers, table arrangements, and vases with floral arrangements. As a note, there are several oil paintings with similar themes from the same period, which would denote that our drawing would be part of multiple studies on the subject. Our drawing is a finished one and is completely decorated on the entire sheet. On the verso of the drawing, you can see brush tests of linear thicknesses and gradations of gray and black ink. Title: Jarron Con Flores, or Naturaleza Muerta. Technique: Black and gray ink, pen and point of the brush on paper. Measures: 463.55 mm by 368.30 mm (18.25 x 14.5 Inches). Frame measures: 520.7 mm by 616.95 x 50.8 mm (20.5 x 24.25 x 2.00 Inches). Signature: At lower right corner signed, "PORTOCARRERO 1952". René Portocarrero He was born in 24 February 1912 and died in 7 April 1985. He was an artist recognized internationally for his achievements. Portocarrero began his artistic education at the San Alejandro academy, but left early and is hence considered 'self-taught'. He put on his first exhibition in 1934, at the Lyceum, beginning a long and fruitful career which included a 1937 collaboration with Mariano Rodríguez and work as a 'free studies' teacher of painting and sculpture. After travels in Haiti, Europe and the United States he gave his first show to an overseas audience at Julien Levy's gallery in New York City in 1945. In 1950, he worked with Wifredo Lam, Mariano, Martinez Pedro and Amelia Peláez in the village of Santiago de Las Vegas. René received lessons in painting from Nicolás Guillén Landrián. In 1977 he worked for the Japan Women's Association. In 1979, he worked for UNESCO and AIAP. He knew Peggy Guggenheim. As well as a painter and sculptor, Portocarrero worked as a ceramicist, scenic designer and book illustrator, publishing his own Las Máscaras (The Masks) in 1935 and El Sueño (The Dream) in 1939. He was also a muralist, producing public artworks for the Prisons, a church in Bauta, the National Hospital, the National Theatre and the Hilton. His artworks form part of the permanent collections of galleries in Argentina (Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires), Brazil (Museums of Modern Art, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), Canada (National Gallery, Ottawa), France (Modern Arts, Paris), Peru (Instituto de Arte Contemporaneo, Lima), the United States (Museums of Modern Art, New York and San Francisco; Milwaukee Art Center; Union Panamericana, Washington; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Art Museum, Indianapolis), Uruguay (Bellas Artes, Montevideo) and Venezuela (Bellas Artes, Caracas).

VICTOR VASARELY Paris 1960 Geometric Composition Ink on Rice Paper COA
By Victor Vasarely
Located in Miami, FL
Geometric composition in rice paper by Victor Vasarely (1906-1997). This is a fantastic geometric composition created in Paris France by the op-art artist Victor Vasarely. The piece of art has been realized in black ink on paper. Great piece of art with gorgeous provenance and professionally framed with UV glass. Victor Vasarely He is considered the father of the Op Art, artist and was born on April 9th, 1908 in Pécs, Hungary. Internationally recognized as one of the most important artists of the 20th century, his innovations in color and optical illusion have had a strong influence on many modern artists. Spanning most of his career, our collection of his prints and sculptures explores his forays into some of his most famous works such as the plastic alphabet and other iconic periods. In 1925, Vasarely was accepted into the University of Budapest’s School of Medicine where he attended for 2 years. Deciding that he wanted to take his life in a different direction, he enrolled in the Poldini-Volkman Academy of Painting in 1927. Though a medical education might have seemed superfluous compared to his new career in art, the time that Vasarely spent in medical school gave him a strong basis in scientific method and objectivity. This basis continued to manifest in his unique style of art. After the artist's first one-man show in 1930, at the Kovacs Akos Gallery in Budapest, Vasarely moved to Paris. For the next thirteen years, he devoted himself to graphic studies. His lifelong fascination with linear patterning led him to draw figurative and abstract patterned subjects, such as his series of harlequins, checkers, tigers, and of course the Vasarely zebras...
