1980

About the Item

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY Antonio Lopez Saenz is a brilliant iconic creative artist from Mazatlan, Mexico. The aquatint “Hombres y Sillos” (Men and Chairs) was created in 1980 and signed, titled and numbered 22/25. This print captures a favorite theme of Antonio's the depiction of a typical scene - men conversing at a table - from his hometown. There is a lighthearted feel to the piece through the peaceful group of men enjoying a cigarette and perhaps discussing the weather. The subdued colors enhance the quiet scene. Born in 1936, Antonio knew from an early age that he was destined to paint. His work was largely, largely inspired by the 1950s. New York City became the focus for modernism on an international scale during the Post-War period. Many artists had travelled to the city during the Second World War, fleeing in exile from Europe. This led to a substantial pooling of talent and ideas. Influential Europeans such as Piet Mondrian, Josef Albers and Hans Hoffmann provided inspiration for American artists whilst in New York, and influenced cultural growth in the United States for many later decades. Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Frank Kline, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still and Adolph Gottlieb were predominant artists of this time. The male dominated environment has been subsequently revised to acknowledge the contributions of female artists such as Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Louise Bourgeois, amongst others. Artists Drudry Brandt, Alina Kalczynska-Scheiwiller, Nik Zainal Abidin, Amalia Del Ponte, and Jean-Pierre Delannoy are of the same generation. Unframed the piece measures 20.5"h x 24"w Photography by PD Rearick.
