RENÉ PORTOCARRERO (El Cerro, Cuba, 1912 - Havana, Cuba, 1985)."Portrait of a woman", 1963.Ink on Arches paper.Signed and dated in the lower left corner.Size: 50 x 33 cm; 60 x 43 cm (frame).René Portocarrero is known for his colourful abstract paintings, although he was also a sculptor, ceramist, scenic designer, muralist and book illustrator. He began painting at a very young age, and at the age of fourteen he entered the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts. However, he soon dropped out of his studies, as his strong temperament did not fit in with the rules of the institution. His training thereafter was self-taught. He exhibited his work for the first time at the Salón de Bellas Artes in Havana, and in 1934 he held his first personal exhibition at the Lyceum in the same city. The success of this exhibition was a great boost to his career, which enabled him to work at the Estudio Libre para Pintores y Escultores de La Habana (Free Studio for Painters and Sculptors of Havana), together with Mariano Rodríguez. Linked to the generation of poets of the so-called "Grupo de Orígenes", he published drawings in several literary magazines of the time, as well as two books. In 1943 he became a teacher of free drawing at the Havana Prison, and during these years he began several cycles of paintings. The following year he exhibited his work in New York at the Julian Levy Gallery and the Museum of Modern Art. He also began several trips that took him to paint in Haiti, Europe and the United States. Around 1950 he began to work on the decoration of ceramic pieces at the Taller Experimental de Santiago de Las Vegas, alongside other artists such as Wifredo Lam, Amelia Peláez and Mariano Martínez. In 1951 he received the National Painting Prize for the first of his so-called "Havana Landscapes". He participated in the São Paulo Biennial in 1957 and 1963, and in the Venice Biennial in 1952 and 1966. Throughout his career, Portocarrero received numerous prizes and distinctions, including the Sambra International Prize (São Paulo Biennial, 1963), etc. In 1985, the year of his death, he held a travelling exhibition with a large part of his work, which toured several European countries and definitively consolidated his already internationally recognised artistic legacy. René Portocarrero is currently represented in major centres of artistic relevance, including the MoMA in New York, the National Museums of Fine Arts in Havana, Santiago de Chile and Argentina, the Spanish Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Santiago de Chile and many others, as well as in important private collections.
