Lot description

Outstanding oil on canvas by pioneer Abstract Expressionist artist Olga Albizu, the first woman in Puerto Rico to paint Non-Representational art. A student of German painter Hans Hofmann, she unites bold and primary colors to achieve a push and pull visual effect to ignite an emotive response in the viewer. On a cobalt background, Albizu applied splendid fields of azure, sapphire, and cyan with deep purple, scarlet red, warm yellow and black that appear to float on the canvas.
