René Portocarrero
René Portocarrero created abstracted, polychrome paintings of the religious and cultural practices and architecture of Cuba as well as portraits of Cuban women. A key figure in the second generation of Vanguardia artists in Cuba, his work was exhibited alongside Cundo Bermúdez, Mario Carreño, and Amelia Peláez in the landmark Museum of Modern Art exhibition “Modern Cuban Painters” in 1944. He was awarded the International Samba Prize at the 1963 São Paulo Bienal and was featured in the 1966 Venice Biennale. Portocarrero displayed his artistic talent at a young age; although he spent a brief period studying at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts he was mostly self-taught. Known for his use of horror vacui, Portocarrero delineated space via deliberate linework. Later in his career, the artist’s interest in geometric forms led him increasingly towards abstraction. Beginning in the mid–the 1950s, he produced a series of imagined cityscapes based on Havana’s eclectic architecture.

Paysage de la Cote d'Azur
65 x 54 cm
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas
Paysage de la Côte d'Azur is a vibrant tribute to the sunny allure of the French Riviera, interpreted through Diachronic Cubism. This piece captures the energy of the Côte d'Azur with its fragmented yet harmonious composition.
Rich yellows, deep blues, and bright reds evoke the Mediterranean sun, sea, and architecture, while angular shapes and layered perspectives bring movement and depth. A small figure and sailboats add a narrative touch, inviting the viewer to explore the scene from multiple viewpoints. Mathias masterfully merges cubist abstraction with a lively depiction of this iconic region.

Collectors of Mediterranean landscapes, amateurs of cubist art, and those drawn to the vibrant charm of the Côte d'Azur. Paysage de la Côte d'Azur is an exquisite addition to any collection, infusing any space with color and modernity.
