Rafael Coronel
Rafael Coronel, "Untitled, " Mixed Media on Painter's Board, Signed by Artist

early 1970s

About the Item

'Untitled' by Rafael Coronel, is a fabulous and stylistically distinct example of Coronel's work from the 1960s and 1970s in which his subjects are located at the surface of blank, colored backgrounds. Dating from 1970 -1973, the painting is signed 'RAFAEL CORONEL' lower left. Measuring 30 inches H. x 20 inches W. The framed dimensions are 35 inches H. x 25 inches W. Coronel's work from this period focuses on the tension between the human figure and the space surrounding her. His representational paintings have a melancholic sobriety, and include faces from the past great masters, often floating in a diffuse haze. Rafael Coronel is one Mexico's leading figurative artists of the 20th-21st centuries, finding inspiration in the work of the El Greco (1541-1614), the Baroque Era, as well as the works of Francisco Goya (1746-1828) and Francis Bacon (1909-1992). While the artist's work has been experimental in its subject matter, it has been largely figurative. The work is consistent with other pieces by the artist from the 1970s: depicting his subjects against a simplified background, recalling Spanish master works by Goya, Ribera, and Zurburan.
