Born in Havana in 1912, René Portocarrero
was a leading artist of the 20th Century
Modern Art Movement in Cuba with a
successful career and a distinguished
legacy. During his lifetime, the artist
participated in over one hundred
exhibitions at major museums, institutions,
and galleries in the Americas and Europe.
Portocarrero developed an aptitude for the
arts at a young age, first submitting his
drawings to the annual exhibition at the
Salón de Bellas Artes at age eleven.
The artist briefly studied at the San
Alejandro Academy in Havana, and later
expanded his horizons and inspirations
by traveling through Europe, Mexico,
the United States, and Haiti. During
the
1940s, the artist developed a unique style
in which the bold lines of a draftsman
interact with dynamic colors, vibrant
textures and graceful brushwork to create
surrealistic and baroque pieces.
