Four Decades of Latin American Abstraction

Museo de Arte de Ponce

A grouping of four oil-and-acrylic paintings ranging from 20 x 26 in. to 49 x 48 in. (including a 72 in. diameter tondo) that documents four decades of abstract art in Puerto Rico and beyond. While featuring mainly the work of mid-century Puerto Rican artists, the grouping features the notable exception of Mexican painter, graphic artist, and designer Gunther Gerzo (1915-2000), one of the so-called “New Tres Grandes” of Mexican abstract art, a reference to the three “great” Mexican muralists from earlier in the century.
