SIGNED 1943 ABSTRACT FIGURATIVE MODERNISM PAINTING ON PAPER BY JULIO DE DIEGO NR Description This listing is for a signed Spanish American modernism abstract figural painting by Julio De Diego. The painting is mixed media on paper. It measures 16 by 22 inches (40.6 by 55.8 cm). The painting is dated and entitled on the bottom left "1943 MASKS AND DRUMS". It shows a silhouette of figures with horns playing drums. The figures are against a red background with colors of purple and green. It is signed on the bottom left “DE DIEGO-43”. This is for the Spanish born American artist Julio De Diego (1900-1979). Julio De Diego he had been an apprentice in a scene-painting studio for Madrid theatres. In 1926 he arrived in Chicago where he designed magazine covers, did fashion illustrations and got a commission to decorate two chapels in St. Gregory's Church. He also designed a laundry bag for the Hotel Sherman that led to a considerable increase in outgoing wash. He painted street scenes, landscapes and murals for the WPA. As an artist, he fits into no easy pigeonhole. He was far from what is commonly considered to be the mainstream of modern art. The painting is in very good condition, there is minor warping to the paper due to the materials used to paint it. There is a small tear on the right side. Please note; this painting comes unframed.
