École Espagnole (1970s) - Portrait en Robe de Cocktail

- Oil on panel. Closed in June 1970.

- There she is, frozen and aureate, a sharp apparition of white silk that imposes itself, with the subtle arrogance of blue blood, over the gray puzzle of domesticated cubism. The painting is the notarial record of a marriage of convenience, inevitable and very of its time, where avant-garde, now tepid and turned into elegant upholstery, yields unconditionally to the carnal attributes of opulence. She is the heiress of all that, the blonde, perfect trophy of a capitalism that allows itself the luxury of flirting with abstraction whenever the portrait comes out favorable. Her features do not break; no, geometry merely surrounds her like expensive gift wrap, in a grisaille of planes that pretend rebellion but only serve to underscore, with their stone-and-concrete coldness, the radiant and offensive youth of a woman born to decorate the world without mussing her hair.

- Image dimensions without frame: 65 x 80 cm / 80 x 96 cm with exclusive custom frame.
