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 he, in 1928, when he was only six months old, fled with his family due to the persecution of the Jewish population after the Russian Revolution. At sixteen he began studies 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 he treated themes such as injustice and struggle in everyday life. He was also an admirer of the artists Francisco Goya and José Clemente Orozco. Topics that Filcer depicted included the Massacre of Tlatelolco of 1968, the casinos in Las Vegas, the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and the Mexico City Metro. Filcer's work shows no idealism, but explores justice and injustice in order 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: 64 x 79 cm
The work comes from the artist's heirs.
