Modest Cuixart (1925-2007) - Portrait of a woman in profile - Original drawing (1960)
Exceptional original drawing on paper by the Catalan master Modest Cuixart, co-founder of the renowned avant-garde group Dau al Set with Antoni Tàpies and Joan Brossa. The piece, dated in his own hand in 1960, presents an elegant and subtle female profile portrait rendered with energetic and spontaneous lines, enriched with delicate touches of color. The Artwork is signed on the front with the artist's classic abbreviated signature ('C. 1960'), a common practice in his sketches on paper from this mature period.
