MEASUREMENTS: 18"WX22"H FRAMED, MINT CONDITION/"in the style of" Fidelio Ponce de León was the pseudonym of Alfredo Fuentes Pons, a Cuban painter.Fidelio Ponce de León's style was one of the most singular styles and iconography of his generation. His paintings such as La Familia ("The Family") and Niños ("Children", 1938), reflect Cuban society of the 1930s, and offer a contrasting view to the idealized vision seen in the art of some of the other artists. They are tragic images about poverty, sickness, and alienation. Even when painting children in the midst of nature, as in Niños, a subject long associated with beauty and hope, his treatment of the landscape and the children's facial expressions suggest aridness and sadness. Ponce's desperate economic situation and unruly life matched the general socioeconomic situation of Cuba in the 1930s, and thus his paintings’ expressions of doom transcend the personal and may be said to symbolize the national mood of that time./Private collection, Liveauctioneers policy requires to state "in the style of", no documentation.
