Description from the seller
Luis Filcer
Face
Mixed technique on paper
50 x 65 cm ( 65 x 81 cm)
Framed, no glass
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 fled due to 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 addressed themes such as injustice and struggle in ordinary life. He was also an admirer of the artists Francisco Goya and José Clemente Orozco. Subjects 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 explores right and wrong 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.
The works come from the artist's heirs.
Viewing is, of course, possible. All information can be found on our own website.
