Tiburcio Lorenzo (Cuban, 1912-1996)

Untitled

Oil on canvas

Signed to lower left

37 3/8 x 25 7/16 in., framed to 44 x 32 in. 

A highly detailed Cuban landscape. In the foreground of the painting is a cart resting underneath a tall tree. There appears to be a fallen tree in front of the cart, looking more as if it split and fell over rather than someone chopping it down. In the background are two houses with thatched roofs, no doubt one of them the home of the cart's owner. 

When he was 24 years old, Lorenzo won a scholarship to study at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts. He graduated in 1944, having spent time learning under prestigious landscape artists such as Domingo Ramos and Leopoldo Romañach. While painting and participating in exhibitions, he and some other artists opened the Provincial School of Fine Arts in 1946, where he also taught for 20 years. Lorenzo continued to create art until 1991, five years before he passed away.
