Emilio SánchezUntitled ("Medio Punto") (1 of 3)
About
The Museo de Arte de Ponce is making several thematic groupings of art available for loan through our Partner Loan Network.
This three-panel oil painting measuring in total 72 x 108 in. summarizes in a single composition the hard-edged depictions of architectural spaces by Cuban artist Emilio Sánchez (1921-1999). The work features the most celebrated and distinctive traits of Sánchez’s work: sensibility to artificial and natural space, the interplay of light and shadow, and broad blocks of solid color. The arched doorway decorated with yellow and blue stained glass is an architectural feature found throughout Cuba, where it serves to block out the harsh tropical sun from a building’s interior. Stained glass windows are a popular motif in Cuban painting and remained a constant through Sánchez’s oeuvre.
