Provenance Isaac Liff Collection, Santo Domingo. Acquired from the above by the present owner. Paisajes, figuras y ritos (1944) belongs to an early phase of Luis Martínez Pedro's work, in which drawing becomes a site of synthesis between figure, environment, and ritual gesture. The composition presents bodies in motion integrated within an organic setting, rendered through loose and expressive linework that privileges energy and rhythm over descriptive precision. Landscape functions here not as a passive backdrop but as an active territory charged with symbolic meaning. Executed in 1944, the work reveals Martínez Pedro's early inclination toward formal modernity and his interest in the archaic and the ritual as sources of visual construction. Luis Martínez Pedro was a key figure in Cuban modern art, recognized for his work in painting, design, and scenography, and for his role in renewing visual language in the mid-twentieth century.
