An energizing abstract expressionism mixed media on paper by Hugo de Soto. Signed in pencil on the bottom right and dated 1962. A stunning example of De Soto's signature style in warm reds, plums, and browns. A fantastic edition to a modern inspired space. Dimensions: 22"w x 1.5"d x 28"h (framed). In very good vintage condition. Hugo de Soto (1928- ) is a Cuban artist influenced by both Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. Soto studied painting at the San Alejandro Academy in Havana, and in 1946 won a scholarship to Detroit, in the United States, where he studied under John Foster at the Society of Art and Craft. His work, as may be read in many catalogues, has been exhibited in galleries in the United States, Denmark, Britain, Colombia, France, and Italy, and some belong to private and museum collections, such as that of Emilio Bacardi in Santiago de Cuba; the Library of Congress, in Washington; that of Vatican City, and of Monterrey, Mexico.
