Description
Excerpted from the website:
- One of the most important artists to come of age during the Cuban Revolution, Antonia Eiríz was a provocative, paradoxical figure. Though she received many awards and honors from the Cuban government, her paintings never conformed to the officially prescribed Social Realist style or subjects. Eiríz associated with members of Los Once (The Eleven) - Cuban artists of the 1950s who, like the Abstract Expressionists, advocated an abstract art that was intuitive and sought to convey existential truths. Although she worked in a figurative mode, Eiríz was sympathetic to the ideas of The Eleven, and through her art and her teaching she influenced two generations of artists.
