Carlos Carnero Paintings
1922-1980
Carlos Carnero, a native of Montevideo, emigrated to Paris and joined Fernand Léger's studio workshop at the end of the 1940s. Located on the Boulevard de Clichy, the workshop-school had around 75 students. In the workshop, Carlos Carnero, was noted for his talent and involvement. In addition to providing an art education, Léger entrusted the task of secretariat of the workshop to Carlos, which involved movements of the stocks, inventory paintings and material organization of exhibitions. The head of the workshop, Nadia Khodasievich, was a brilliant painter and the first pupil of Malevich, then of Leger in the mid-1920s. She became the assistant, then the mistress, and, then, his wife, in 1952.

Title:
Abstract with Portrait - Oil and Collage on Canvas by Horacio Sapere (1985)
Short Description:
A unique abstract piece by Horacio Sapere, influenced by artists like Antoni Tàpies and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mixed media combining oil and collage, perfect for contemporary art collectors.
Detailed Description:
Discover the fascinating intersection of abstraction and figuration with "Abstract with Portrait" by Horacio Sapere. Created in 1985, this piece blends oil and collage on a 24 x 18-inch canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery in layering textures and integrating forms.
Horacio Sapere, known for his multidisciplinary approach that spans painting, visual poetry, and performance, aligns himself with the tradition of great contemporary art figures. His work echoes the material intensity of Antoni Tàpies, the gestural energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the narrative capacity of Robert Rauschenberg, establishing a dialogue between chaos and order, abstraction and figuration.
Inspired by the artistic movements of the late 20th century, Sapere crafts a visual language that resonates with Informalism and Abstract Expressionism, making it a standout choice for contemporary art enthusiasts.
This piece is ideal for those looking to enrich their collection with a work that is not only visually striking but also conceptually grounded. It includes a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its provenance and originality.
Related Artists:
- Antoni Tàpies: For his use of unconventional materials and focus on texture
- Jean-Michel Basquiat: For the energy and expressiveness of abstract strokes
- Robert Rauschenberg: For the combination of mixed media and collage in compositions
- Cy Twombly: For balancing visual chaos with the subtlety of abstract forms
Key Points for Collectors:
- A unique piece by an internationally recognized artist
- Contemporary style that fits modern spaces
- Mixed media highlighting the interplay of textures and color
- Guaranteed provenance with a certificate of authenticity
Dimensions: 24 x 18 inches (unframed)
Technique: Oil and collage on canvas
A Treasure for Contemporary Art Collectors
This work represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an original piece by an artist who, like Tàpies or Basquiat, challenges traditional art norms to offer a unique visual and emotional experience.
