An oil on canvas painting in the style of Cuban artist Carlos Alfonso (Carlos Alfonzo, 1950–1991). Alfonso's early work drew inspiration from the iconography of Castro-era propaganda, while his later work was informed by the impressionistic style of masters Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. The artist incorporated forms from Cuban Santería, medieval Catholic mysticism, and tarot cards to construct a system of symbols floating in huge limpid tears, often evoking subtle clues associated with his homosexuality and the fear and anger generated by the AIDS epidemic. Cataloged as "in the style of" the artist, designating a work by an unknown creator whose style is strongly under the influence of the named master artist (Source: Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus). Sourced from a private collection, the artwork measures 40 inches high by 40 inches wide, comes complete with frame, and is in good condition.
