Description
On auction, we have an original mixed media piece by Leonel Gongora. It is signed in ink "Gongora New York" and in pencil "Leonel 1960 New York. The title "La Selva" (The Jungle) is written in pencil on the lower left. This appears to be part painting and part drawing with an attached ticket stub from New York's Phoenix Theatre. Parts may be printed, I just cannot tell. This is on manila paper that measures approximately 18 1/4" X 14" including the attached blue paper at the bottom.About the artist: Leonel Gongora (1932-1999) was born in Cartago, Columbia. Living in Mexico City in the early 1960's he was a founding member of Nueva Presencia and Salon Independiente. In 1963 he moved to the United States: New York City them Massachusetts where he taught painting at the University of Massachusetts for 30 years. His works are exhibited in the major museums of the United States, Mexico and Columbia. This is a wonderful example of what he did best.
I believe this is in very good condition. This is bright, bold and clear. The paper has been handled and has some wrinkles and fingerprints. As I am not an expert on art, please see my photographs for more description.
This is from my friend who collects everything and is starting to part with a few of his treasures.
I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping.
