Title: Esteban Vicente
Description: "Phlox, helianthus, foxglove and daisies populated the garden of Esteban Vicente's home in Bridgehampton, New York, representing spring's prosperity and abundance of color. The sunlight he felt in the garden shines through these paintings, evoking the early summer afternoons that Vicente spent working in his studio. Motivated by the way that the sunlight hit the flowers and the grass of his New York country house, he continued to paint well into his 90's. The works in this exhibition were completed between the years of 1998 and 2000. As a reference point, Vicente turned 95 years old on January 20 in 1998. The artist had a long and prosperous career, living and working with multiple generations of contemporary artists including the New York School painters and the Abstract Expressionists."--Exhibition description.
