A woman is seated sideways in a wood chair, with her hands folded in her lap. The sitter is rendered with thick, confident strokes, creating a semi-abstracted composition.

Vintage Figurative Abstract of Lady on Red
Located in Soquel, CA
Vintage Latin American School Figurative Abstract of a Lady in a Red Landscape. Intriguing and moody piece by California-based Latin American artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece features a dark red abstracted background. On the left side of the piece, the outline of a building is visible providing the sense of a cityscape. Diagonal lines cross at the base of the woman's body and then fade backward into space. The red tones of the background are accentuated by large swaths of blue-toned blacks. The woman fades into this background, her pale face being the eye-catching center of the painting. Behind her, another figure rendered in simple shapes is just visible. Signed "de silva 86" in bottom left corner Acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Canvas size: 20"H x 16"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...
