Item Details
Description
Fine original condition with one small quarter sized canvas dent on the left. Sight size: 24" x 31.5" From Wiki: "Enrique Echeverria Vazquez (1923-1972) was a Mexican painter, part of the Generacion de la Ruptura and early member of the Salon de la Plastica Mexicana. He was one of a number of painters who broke away from the established painting figurative style in Mexico in the mid 20th century to experiment with abstractionism and other modern movements in painting from Europe. Echeverria's career spanned from 1940 until his death in 1972. He had over twenty-five individual exhibitions in Mexico, along with others in the Americas and Europe. The first of these was at the Galeria Proteo in Mexico City in 1954. Later exhibits included Pan American Union Building in Washington in 1955, the Main Street Gallery in Chicago in 1957 and the Vieille Galerie in Brussels in 1958. In 1964 he exhibited at the Galeria de Arte Mexicano, which was important in establishing him as an important painter in Mexico. He also participated in collective exhibitions in France, Colombia and Brazil. In 1961, he participated in the biennale events of Tokyo and Sao Paulo and again in Sao Paulo in 1962. During much of his career, painters associated with the Generacian de la Ruptura were effectively barred from exhibiting in many state sponsored institutions, such as the Palacio de Bellas Artes. One effort by younger artists of the time was the establishment of the Galeria Prisse in 1952. Echeverria was cofounder along with Vlady, Alberto Gironella, Jose Bartoli, Hector Xavier and Jose Luis Cuevas, with the aim of breaking the hold that those of the established Mexican School of Painting had on the art market in Mexico. He illustrated the book El perro y la sombra by Augusto Roa Bastos. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1957. He was a guest lecturer at Notre Dame University in Indiana in 1966 and later gave classes at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in 1972. Recognition of his work included acceptance into the Salon de la Plastica Mexicana in 1954, and his work was accepted by the institution as winner of its Acquisition Prize in 1968. However, he died at a time when those of his generation were just beginning to receive widespread recognition. The Palacio de Bellas Artes held an exhibition in his honor in 1973 shortly after his death, and held another retrospective of his work thirty years later in 2003."
