Description
Emilio Sanchez was born in Camagüey, Cuba in 1921. He began his artistic training at the Art Students League in 1944 when he moved to New York City where he lived until he died in 1999. However, it was in Cuba that he became fascinated with the play of light and shadow on colored forms that became a dominant characteristic of his works.
Sanchez' art is well represented in more than 30 museums including the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This show features the Aurora University collection of Emilio Sanchez, made possible by the generous donation of the Emilio Sanchez Foundation.
