About the Item

BAZURTO is an original hand drawn lithograph by renowned Colombian woman artist Ana Mercedes Hoyos, (b.1942-2014) printed using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. Hoyos' colorful lithograph, Bazurto, is a creative combination of a female figure and still-life composition depicting a seated brown skinned woman beside a bowl of fresh fruit - green avocados, yellow bananas, brown coconuts and tropical green leaves. Ana Mercedes Hoyos is most known and recognized for her explosive use of color and rhythm in expressing the culture of the Afro-Colombian community. Her work is part of major Museums as well as important private collections throughout the world. Print size - 30.5 x 29 inches, unframed, excellent condition, pencil signed by Ana Mercedes Hoyos Ana Mercedes Hoyos (29 September 1942 – 5 September 2014) was a Colombian painter, sculptor and a pioneer in modern art in the country. In her half-century of artistic works, she garnered over seventeen awards of national and international recognition. Beginning her career in a Pop Art style which moved towards abstract, her trajectory moved toward cubism and realism as she explored light, color, sensuality and the bounty of her surroundings. Her reinterpretations of master painters led her to an exploration of Colombian multiculturalism, and her later works focused on Afro-Colombian and mestizo heritage within the Colombian landscape. Her works can be found in the permanent collections of the Fuji Art Museum in Tokyo; the Ibercaja Collection [es] in Zaragoza, Spain; the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City; the Nassau County Museum of Art of Roslyn Harbor, New York, as well as the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art and museums in other Latin American cities. Her collection of archival materials on San Basilio de Palenque were donated to the United Nations University in Tokyo and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. - artist bio - from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    By Moshe Castel
    Located in Union City, NJ
    SCROLLS by the Israeli artist Moshe Castel (1909-1991) is a limited edition lithograph printed using traditional hand lithography techniques on archival Somerset paper 100% acid free. SCROLLS is a dramatic abstract collage, its vertical arrangement depicting a grouping of yellow and gold beige papyrus scroll fragments against a textured background of rich vibrant red and black. Ancient alphabet symbols written on the parchment are visible resembling Aramaic letters which create a mystical quality evoking the biblical history of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Aramaic was once the main language of the Jews and appears in some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is closely related to Hebrew with the script being very similar. In SCROLLS, Moshe Castel creates a very aesthetically appealing and captivating contemporary arrangement of ancient Jewish symbolism.
