ABOUT THE WORK

There is a profound European quality to Federico Aguilar-Alcuaz’ heavy abstraction. Cleverly conceived, Alcuaz depicts more than just the figurative qualities of his subjects — capturing their essence rather than their form. This very brilliant approach to his abstraction boasts of Alcuaz’ European influence and inimitable genius. As in this watercolor work, we are treated to one of the National Artist’s abstracted landscapes. Ever brilliant in his approach, we are left to decipher the scenery — an intellectual and potent rendition of what appears to be a lovely view of Madrid. This piece was done in 1973, the same year as Alcuaz’ solo exhibitions in the Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao and Eindhoven.
