About the Item

Stone Faces - Abstract Portrait in Acrylic on Textured Paper Abstract portrait by California-based artist Ricardo de Silva (Brazilian, 20th Century). Two faces are merged, overlapping such that they share features. One of the faces is in profile, whereas the other appears to be head-on. The piece is executed in warm reds and yellows. Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Paper size: 16"H x 12"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva 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.
