RENE PORTOCARRERO Biography
Rene Portocarrero was born in Cerro, outside Havana. At the age of 11
he sent his workl to the annual exhibition at the Salon de Bellas
Atres. In the 1940s he gave art classes to the prisoners in a Havana
jail and admitted that he was influenced by the artwork of his
'pupils'. He began to paint works with astriking combination of stong
linear, linear draftsmanship and rich, vigorous pigmentation. The use
of divided color also began to play an inportnat role in his work,
enhancing his portrayal of fantasy. His artworks are baroque in
conception, line and tone and these stylistic chararteristics are
employed to express his passionate obsession for Spanish Colonial
subjects. Spanish-Cuban interiors, cathedrals and old spinsters are all
powerfully depicted by Portocarrero's graceful brushstrokes.
