Description: This is a profound and thought-provoking Antique Mid Century Modern Mexican Surrealist Abstract Oil Painting on Masonite, depicting a stylized and mysterious interpretation of the famous Mexican volcano “Popocatepetl.” The volcano is depicted in stark yellow against a dark sky, with ominous tendril like clouds and abstract shapes flanking its base. Approximately 22 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 13 1/2 x 20 inches. Good condition for age, with some areas of minor paint loss, and a few small pinholes to the Masonite board (please see photos.) This painting is attributed to an artist nicknamed “El Loco.” I believe this may actually be the work of a famous Mexican Modernist, perhaps you recognize the artist’s work? This painting is signed, titled and dated in graphite in Spanish on the verso: “Los Renegados. M - 3/5/59. El Loco.” A label on the verso, in English, reads: “The Renegades. Quote at the top: After a lot of sacrifices, the reason is this. March 5, 1959. By El Loco (The Crazy) depicting the Mexican volcano Popocatepetl.” Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
