Organic Modern Painting by Agustin Fernandez, Cuban, 1928-2006

About the Item

REDUCED FROM $3,850....Agustin Fernandez, born in Havana, Cuba in 1928, attended famed San Alejandro art school in Havana at the age of 15. His early painting were mostly figurative and realistic. His formative years were spent in Paris where he started to paint in black, white and earth tones which later evolved into more dark, somber color palette still using warm earth tones. Because of his association with Robert Mapplethorpe, Fernandez's 1970s and later works are called erotic by some but they are more spatial or other worldly with a human feel. Heavy and mesmerizing shapes take a life of their own in his canvases of the period. Agustin died in New York City in 2006. Frame: 36.5 inches high by 26.5 inches wide Frame original, wood ebonized with silver front edge. Some age and wear loss to silver (see pics) Painting: Sight 29 inches by 21 inches Graphite on paper Signed in pencil lower right: Agustin Fernandez 1973.

  • Painting by Bowes David, Untitled
    Located in Milano, IT
    Painted painting by BOWES DAVID, Untitled from 1986. Details: Signature and year at upper left. Technique : drawing on Fabriano Watermark. His figures have a theatrical air, especially those with the appearance of Pierrot and Columbine and other Commedia dell'Arte characters. Consciously flirting with the decorative, Bowes often compresses the background and foreground, as in wallpaper, and there is a suggestion of fabric design in the way he repeats his patterns at intervals on the surface. In some images, patterns emerge. In others, the pattern overwhelms itself Provenance; Lucio Amelio Collection, Naples; Private collection. Slight defects. David Bowes...
