Selected works by mid to late-20th century artist Abel Quezada, who spent his career illustrating political and social life in Mexico from the 1940s onward, will be on view at Proyectos Monclova until December 18 in the show “Typical Mexican landscape. Paintings and watercolors 1972–1989.” His works, often injected with a touch of humor, take great influence from Italian painter Amadeo Modigliani and Dutch-French painter, Kees van Dongen. His painterly-cartoonist style set him apart and earned him covers for the New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine. Visitors will get to experience the breadth of his work from the early 1970s through the late 80s.
Proyectos Monclova will also be featured in Gallery Weekend Mexico, taking place from November 5—7.
