Description
Beautiful Wifredo Arcay abstract acrylic masonite. Frame: 27 x 21 inches. Provenance: private owner.
Biography: 1925 - 1997. Wilfredo Arcay, born in 1925 in La Habana and died 1997 in Paris, was one of the referents of the Cuban school. Arcay managed to place his artistic production on the international market and caused Cuban painting to stop being attributed to a localist school, which followed the influences of other more valued schools of the time. To do this, he reinterprets various artistic currents such as cubism and neo-plasticism, adding his personal idiosyncrasy, as well as the influence of color and light from his native country.Hailed by Jean Arp as "the perfection of Cuban Cubists", Arcay emerged among the post-war generation of the School of Paris as a painter, muralist and printmaker. Arcay, born in Cuba and trained at the San Alejandro Academy in Havana, came to Paris on a scholarship in 1949. He quickly integrated into the post-cubist abstraction milieu by studying with Edgard Pillet and Jean Dewasne in their Abstract art studio.
