Jose Luis Cuevas: Nude Tapestry Mexico 1988

76h x 52.5w inches, signed upper right "Cuevas". Bio: CUEVAS, JOSE LUIS (1934). Mexican painter born in Mexico City. Cuevas began drawing at an early age. At the age of 10 he enrolled as an irregular student at the School of Painting and Sculpture 'La Esmeralda' in Mexico City. He began exhibiting in the early 1950s and is regarded as one of the foremost representatives of the neo-figurative movements that emerged in Latin America from the late 1950s onwards. Cuevas specialized in incisive satirical ink, wash and pencil drawings of grotesque creatures and degraded humanity, often including self-portraits in his compositions. His work is in public and private collections in Latin America, the U.S.A. and France.
