About the Item

Mario Carreño abstract Cuban lithograph, 1989, signed and numbered Offered for sale is a rare lithograph by Cuban artist Mario Carreño (1913-1999) titled "Mujeres y Corales" which translates to "Women and Corals" painted in 1945 and reproduced in 1989, pencil signed lower right and numbered 92/199 lower left. Carreño began his artistic studies in his native Havana where he studied painting at the Academia de San Alejandro, Havana, Cuba from 1925 until 1926. In 1934, he studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, Madrid, Spain. In 1937 he studied at the Ecole des Arts appliqués, Paris, France, and that same year, at the Académie Julian, Paris, France. Beginning in the 1930s, his career began to flourish and he participated in many group shows including 1932 – "Exposición Única de Pintores y Escultores Cubanos", Lyceum, Havana, Cuba. In 1944 he took part in the " Exhibition of Modern Cuban Painters at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City. Between the late 1930s and early 1940s, Carreño traveled extensively. For three years, he lived in Paris, engaging with the artists’ community in the liberal Montparnasse district. He was forced to evacuate the country when World War II broke out in 1939 and spent the next few years in between New York and Havana. In 1942, he married the wealthy heiress Maria Luisa Gomez Mena, who provided him with professional support, organizing both studio spaces for her husband as well as introducing him to the primary players in the Cuban art industry. Although the marriage was short-lived, Mena’s effect on his career was transformative, establishing Carreño as a notable figurative painter in the American art scene. After the dissolution of their union, he spent an increasing amount of time in Cuba and eventually married Maria Luisa Bermudez in the 1950s.   Art by sight, 22.5"W by 19" H.

  • Powerful Hoi Lebadang Abstract Mid Century Lithograph Signed and Numbered
    By Hoi Lebadang
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    A mid 20th century lithograph print by Vietnamese / French artist Hoi Lebadang (1921 - 2015) signed and numbered. The colors employed, shades of red, white and charcoal set against a golden yellow, signify warmth and richness. The abstract composition beckons further inspection. The techniques used for creating this work of art include an embossed area of the work where the paper surface is raised in an abstract design. This work is presented in its original frame. I knew nothing of the artist when I bought this work, I simply knew that it appealed to me. A quick search online revealed this fascinating biography on the artist that I hope you'll read and enjoy. This comes from the Outside Folk Gallery website, "War shaped the life of Lebadang (Lê Bá Đảng.) Sometimes called Hoi Lebadang, this painter’s experiences in colonial-era Vietnam and WWII-era France flow into his work. Working at the turning point between 19th-century bohemianism and 20th-century modernism, he existed in two worlds simultaneously. The path that brought Lebadang to France in 1939 and secured his place in art history is complex. Looking at his childhood, you would never guess that this young Vietnamese boy would have such an impact on the art world. After shortening his name in 1950 to Lebadang, he only used Hoi when making lithographs. In colonial-era Vietnam, the French ruled Vietnam from the 1880s until 1954; France beckoned like a beacon for art and culture. Lê Bá Đảng (surname, middle name, given name), born in 1921, grew up with his eyes fixed on France. He grew up in a middle-class peasant family and, after primary school, felt the pull to travel. Lebadang signed...
