About the artist:

Born in 1916, Carmen Aguade grew up during the 1930s and was influenced by the artistic culture of the time. on a global scale this period can be best characterized by the clash between the world’s dominant political philosophies - Marxist Socialism, Capitalist Democracy, and the Totalitarianism of both Communism and Fascism. Her paintings show consistent use of flat surfaces and an impersonal manner of working where everyday objects are imbued with social connotations. Previously to 1967, she worked on intimate, lyrical landscapes, and later she turned to a more stylized approach where natural forms are reduced to geometrical language. Color is an important characteristic of her work. Signed prints available at RoGallery.com.
