Lot Passed

Jaled Muyaes (Chilean/Mexican, 1921 - 2007). "Abstracto en Tierra". Gouache on paper laid to board. 1950. Signed "Kena" and dated, lower right. Muyaes always signed his work "Kena," "S. Kena," "Silvestre Kena," or "Silvestre;" or, if initialed, "K." or "S.K.". 15 1/4 x 15 1/2 in. (387 x 394 mm). Provenance: Private collection, Mexico City. Works by Muyaes, a noted Mexican painter and sculptor, rarely appear on the market. Born in Chile as Khaled Mujaes Morales, he moved to Mexico City as a young man and became an integral part of the intellectual circle there (e.g., he was intimately acquainted with the great Chilean poet Pablo Neruda during Neruda's Mexico City years). His parents were David Suleiman Mujaes (Lebanese), and Emma Morales Gajardo (Chilean). [23459]
