Alberto Valdés Abstract figurative female portrait Giclee canvas board print featured in a black wood frame. The picture features shades of orange and purple with Valdés signature in the bottom right corner.
Valdés’s paintings from the early 1960s fuse interests in European modernism, and indigenous and modern Mexican art. The palette and forms of this untitled giclee resemble the patchwork compositions of French artist Sonia Delaunay and the muted, earthy canvases of Mexican painters Rufino Tamayo and Ricardo Martínez. Untitled (about 1965) recalls Paul Klee’s paintings where line drawings appear against varied fields of color. The delicate drawing that animates Valdés’s creation brings to mind the intricate line patterns of sculptural reliefs found on Mesoamerican architectural structures.
