René Portocarrero 1962 Ink & Watercolor on paper Cathedral Cityscape Drawing Framed - This vibrant framed drawing by renowned Cuban artist René Portocarrero dates to 1962 with COA. The mixed-media artwork depicts a stylized cathedral or cityscape rendered in bold black ink outlines filled with striking watercolor washes in a palette of blues, yellows, greens, and reds. The distinct architectural forms, including spires, arches, and a rose window, are characteristic of Portocarrero's unique style, which often explores themes of Cuban baroque and folkloric imagery. An angelic figure is visible towards the lower right. The artist's signature, ”PORTOCARRERO,” and the year ”1962” are clearly inscribed at the bottom. The drawing is presented within a dark wooden frame, protected under glass, and is float-mounted to highlight the artwork's edges. This piece exemplifies Portocarrero's innovative approach to color and form, making it a significant representation of his mid-career work.
