“In 1947, Portocarrero begins to work on a group of pastels that occupy him all of that year and are prolonged sporadically until 1949... in this collection of pastels it is possible to find still life’s with flowers, images from catholic iconography, interiors with elaborate screen panels, groups of dancers, harlequins, and also, the exceptional version of
a native satyr... Brilliant colors contained by black lines establish a distorted accent that configures the grotesque and agitated character of these works, reflecting moments of dramatic expressionism.”

René Portocarrero, Editorial Henschel, Berlin, 1987.

“The eloquence of the flower does not reach us by its form or its fragrance, but when we are aware of its identity ... A painting is like a child or like
a flower. But if we only know the child is named Juan, and that the flower is
a rose or a hibiscus, then we know nothing of the child or the flower.
And the same of a painting, if we only pay attention to its representation.”

“One of Ponce’s only attempts at panoramic compositions is Procesión (Procession), 1940’s. This impressive painting shows a devout procession from a certain distance, in a desolate and expansive landscape. Closer to the viewer, we see the backs of a group of female spectators kneeling and looking towards the long and seemingly slow caravan of hardly identifiable figures, who are carrying a devotional statue
and other religious objects.”

“Thanks to Lam, the preposterous, rugged
and uninspired forms that blocked the road are blown up by the great suns of dynamite. Thanks to Lam, the primal spirit - and by that, I mean the sentiment, the dream, the heredity - is projected and illuminated... Nourished with sea salt, sun, rain, marvelous and sinister moons, Wifredo Lam is the one who calls the modern world back to the original terror and fervor.”
