AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Luis Filcer (Zhytomyr, Ukraine, 1927 – 2018, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico) was a Mexican Expressionist visual artist. Filcer began his career as an artist in Mexico, where in 1928, when he was only six months old, he and his family had fled there due to the persecution of the Jewish population after the Russian Revolution. At sixteen he began studying at the Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City. In the morning he attended classes and in the afternoon he worked on his paintings and drawings.

In his artistic practice, Filcer was strongly influenced by the life of Vincent van Gogh and tackled themes such as injustice and struggle in everyday life. He was also an admirer of artists Francisco Goya and José Clemente Orozco. Topics Filcer depicted included the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre, the casinos in Las Vegas, the Mexican Revolution of 1910, and the Mexico City Metro. Filcer's work shows no idealism, but investigates justice and injustice to provoke change.

Filcer lived and worked for more than twenty years in the Netherlands, much of it in De Rijp (NH). His work has been exhibited more than 340 times in leading museums and galleries around the world.

Dimensions: 50 x 65 cm
Dimensions with frame: 80 x 92 cm
The work comes from the artist's heirs.
