Casablanca (1959) reveals a contemplative and restrained dimension of Ángel Acosta León's work, focused on the urban landscape as a site of observation and emotional resonance. Architectural forms, pathways, and vegetation are articulated through fragmented planes and a subtly sinuous perspective, integrating built and natural elements into a unified spatial experience. Loose brushwork and a nuanced palette create an atmosphere of quiet reflection, departing from the intense expressionism that characterizes much of the artist's production. Executed in 1959, the work reflects Acosta León's interest in landscape as a psychological territory, anticipating his later exploration of the relationship between environment, body, and emotion.
