About the Item

Abstract Expressionist Portrait in in Acrylic on Paper A bold abstracted portrait painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). Although this piece appears chaotic and random, there is a portrait embedded in the composition. Bold stroked of red and gold paint make up the majority of the piece, but there are highlights and accents in teal, white, and yellow. Signed and dated in the lower right: R. de Silva 86 Paper size: 22"H x 15"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg, Alice Robertson Carr, Deborah Eve Alastra, Russell Kelly, and Diana Mark.
