“Which artist today can - like Portocarrero -
offer us such a varied and rich series of images
of The Virgin with such poetic grace, with such
transparent and primeval delicacy? His series
of Madonnas is a delirious litany of beauty and
pictorial excellence. His angels, more than
creatures of theological inspiration, they are
of poetic creation, pure and delicate pictorial
pretexts.”
Monsignor Angel Gaztelu,
Presencia y Vivencia de René Portocarrero,
Jan. 1957, as Publisher in Todo Sobre
Portocarrero, Ramón Vázquez Díaz, Axel Li
and
José Veigas, Ediciones Vanguardia Cubana,
