PEDRO DE ORAÁ (1931-2020) Untitled signed and dated 'Oraá 1959' (lower right) oil on board 24 x 19 7/8 in (60.8 x 50.5 cm) Painted in 1959 Footnotes: This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist and dated January 7, 2011. Provenance Private collection, Havana. Acquired from the above by the present owner. Untitled (1959) is an early and representative example of Pedro de Oraá's rigorous formal language and his commitment to Concrete Art. Constructed through precisely articulated geometric forms and a carefully calibrated compositional balance, the work affirms the autonomy of painting as an object-one of the central tenets of Concrete abstraction. Stripped of narrative or symbolic reference, the composition privileges structure, proportion, and visual clarity, reflecting de Oraá's pursuit of a rational, modern aesthetic aligned with international developments in geometric abstraction. Executed at a formative moment in his career, the work demonstrates the disciplined visual logic that would come to define his practice. A pioneer of Concrete Art in Cuba, de Oraá was a founding member of Los Diez Pintores Concretos, playing a decisive role in establishing geometric abstraction as a critical current within mid-twentieth-century Cuban art.
