Description: ALFREDO SOSABRAVO. Engraving. Serigraphy/ Paper. Contemporary art. Cuban art. Cuba - 1930 • Title: "Three old ladies" • Technique: Serigraphy/ paper. 9 / 40 • Dimensions: 4 x 2 inches • Executed: 1963 • Signed: Sosa bravo PROVENANCE Private collection, Havana, acquired from the original owner by the current owner. Ceramist, painter, and engraver. He bestowed a sculptural character to ceramics with his personal touch. He is one of the most important artists in the history of Cuban art. In 1950, upon seeing Wifredo Lam's paintings, he began painting as a hobby until enrolling in the evening course at the Annex School of the San Alejandro Academy between 1955 and 1957. These were the only years of formal training he had, but his friend Ángel Acosta León guided him in the profound learning of painting and later in engraving. Over the next five years, he painted and made woodcuts, receiving successive awards in the latter. He was appointed a member of the Cuban Printmakers Association and taught various drawing and engraving courses at the National School of Art Instructors. His skillful craftsmanship, the casual manner in which he addressed the drama of the contemporary world, and his unique way of working with collage—embedding fabrics with actual stitches, painting arrows and popular phrases—became a distinctive hallmark of his work. This serigraphy on paper faithfully encapsulates the visual poetry of this great artist. The piece has acid stains on the paper.ALFREDO SOSABRAVO. Grabado. Serigrafía / Papel. Arte contemporáneo. Arte Cubano. Cuba- 1930• Título: <>• Técnica: Serigrafia /Papel , 9 / 40• Medida: 4 x 2 pulgadas• Ejecutado: 1963• Firmado: Sosa bravo PROVENANCEColección privada, Habana, adquirido del propietario original por el propietario actualCeramista, pintor y grabador. Le ponderó a la cerámica un carácter escultórico de sello personal. Es uno de los artistas más importantes de la historia del arte cubano. En 1950, al ver la pintura de Wifredo Lam, comenzó a pintar por afición, hasta que matriculó en el curso nocturno de la Escuela Anexa a la Academia San Alejandro entre 1955 y 1957. Fueron estos los únicos años de entrenamiento académico que tuvo, pero su amigo Ángel Acosta León se encargaría de guiarlo en el aprendizaje profundo de la pintura y más adelante en el del grabado. Durante los siguientes cinco años pinta y hace xilografías, y recibe sucesivos premios en esta última manifestación. Lo nombran miembro de la Asociación de Grabadores de Cuba e imparte varios cursos de dibujo y grabado en la Escuela Nacional de Instructores de Arte. La pericia en la factura, el desenfado con que abordaba el drama del mundo contemporáneo y la manera peculiar de trabajar el collage: incrustando telas con puntadas reales, pintando flechas y frases populares se tradujo en un sello único que lo caracteriza en sus obras. Esta serigrafia sobre papel resume fielmente la poesía visual de este gran artista. La obra posee manchas de ácido en el papel
