Claudio Bravo Camus
Chiquito Futbolista de Tanger 1982

1982

About the Item

Sanguine on paper. Signed and dated in Roman numerals at lower right. In the upper right corner is the title. Claudio Bravo Camus was a Chilean painter best known for compositions (particularly parcels) and hyper-realistic portraits, including those of prominent political figures. Rightly considered one of the greatest masters of hyperrealism, Claudio Bravo has chased photography in painting, but always starting from direct observation of the objects themselves. "The eyes see much more than the camera: half tones, shadows, minute changes in color and light," he said. The portrait presented here, that of a well-known Moroccan soccer player, exudes a meticulous and mimetic realism, particularly in the man's gaze; it was made during the years when the artist lived in Tangier, where he had taken refuge to escape the Franco dictatorship. It is presented in a frame.

    Located in London, GB
    Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Francesco (Blue Trousers...
