About the Item

Original pen & ink drawing by well-known Cuban artist Victor Manuel (1897-1969). The subject is a man and woman seated near the water. This pen and ink drawing on graph paper bears a rubber stamp on the verso. Image measures: 10" H x 8" W image. Paper size 12" x 9.” The work presents in an archival mat and is unframed. Born in Havana, Victor Manuel began studying the arts at San Alejandro Art School at age 12. When he was 14, he started to act as unofficial professor of elementary drawing classes. He studied with Leopoldo Romañach, another famous Cuban painter, and performed his first personal exhibition in 1924. In 1925, he traveled abroad, visiting France. He returned home in 1927 and participated in an exhibition at the Painters and Sculptors Association of Havana. In this time, he dedicated himself, for almost two years, to train other Cuban painters free of charge. Afterwards, he returned to Europe, visiting Spain and Belgium, returning to Cuba again in 1929. It was in this year that he created his most famous painting: La Gitana Tropical ("The Tropical Gipsy"), popularly known as La Gioconda Americana, (the American Mona Lisa), which is in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana. It is considered by critics to be one of the defining pieces of Cuban Avant-garde. He obtained a first prize in 1935, in an art exhibition at Havana's Lyceum, and continued exhibiting his works in Cuba and abroad. He died in 1969, in Havana. Víctor Manuel's style was not monolithic, but evolved greatly, during his lifetime. His first paintings show a tendency to mix European school with a primitive style, such as La Gitana Tropical (1929). In the 1940s and 1950s, he adopted a more stylized look that became distinctive of his work. During the last years of his life, his style became almost abstract, and his portraits were almost Cubist.
