F. PONCE DE LEON: Mansion & Fountain - Gouache
Est: $800 - $1,200
Gouache on cardstock painting of a mansion, a fountain and a church titled "Finca con una Fuente", signed "F. Ponce" (Fidelio Ponce de Leon, Cuban, 1895-1949). Ponce de Leon was born Alfredo Fuentes Pons in Camagüey, Cuba. His inconsistent attendance at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana set a precedent for a life of mysterious disappearances and instability. In paradox, his work showed meticulous technicality and an unmistakable, consistent style. After his studies, he abandoned Havana for approximately five years in 1918. When he resurfaced, he joined Wifredo Lam in the Cuban cultural and political Vanguardia movement of the 1920s. The Vanguardia artists rejected convention in favor of their own national brand of Modernist. Ponce, though he never studied in Europe, counted Amadeo Modiglian, Rembrandt van Rijn and El Greco as his influences, producing elongated forms with a nostalgic sentimentality and a muted palette. Though he achieved international success, Ponce struggled with alcoholism and declining health. After a second disappearance from 1937 to 1940, he died of tuberculosis in Havana in 1949. [Sheet: 15 1/4" H x 12 1/4" W; Matt: 22 1/4" H x 18" W]. In good condition.

Fidelio Ponce De Leon (1895-1949) Cuban, O / C
Est: $20,000 - $40,000
This is an oil on canvas by Fidelio Ponce de Leon, one of the most important Cuban painters of the 20th century. He was part of a group of Cuban artists known as the Vanguardia, an avant-garde movement which emerged in Havana and was seminal to the evolution of modern Cuban art. Fidelio Ponce de Leon, also known as Ponce, was a pioneer in this first generation of modern Cuban artists. He was born Alfredo Fuentes Pons, and his art reflected his own life of poverty. He never left Cuba, so never felt the influence of European art. His paintings contained tragic images of poverty, sickness, and isolation. He used a heavy impasto, his canvases were filled with elongated subjects, and his choice of colors was limited too - not the brilliant colors of other artists, but a pale, almost monochromatic palette of ochres and olive green. He was influenced by El Greco, Rembrandt, and Modigliani, and his paintings are very expressive and reminiscent of works by Edvard Munch. Ponce emphasized themes like change, transformation, and death, and his paintings evoke moody contemplation and a sense of sadness and grief. He endured alcoholism and suffered tuberculosis near the end of his life, and these themes had an enduring impact on Cuban art. The painting here was purchased by a local artist from Sarasota who visited Cuba and bought the painting directly from Ponce. When the local artist died, the painting was bequeathed to the current owner and consignor of the painting. The painting is an oil on canvas and has some of that heavy impasto Ponce was known for. The figures are shadowy and done in ochres and olive green, and the painting is in great condition. It is signed "Ponce" in the lower right and dated "1947" below the signature. The overall size is 30 1/8 x 30 in. wide, and the sight size is 22 7/8 x 22 7/8 in. wide. The painting also comes with a rare photograph of Ponce taken in Havana by Loring Hayden in 1947. It shows how thin and impoverished Ponce looked. He died two years later.
