A print of Pinturas de Rufino Silva (Paintings by Rufino Silva), 1967, by Lorenzo Homar.
Lorenzo Homar was a pioneering printmaker, poster designer, calligrapher, painter, illustrator, caricaturist, and designer of costumes, jewelry, and theater sets. Active from the 1950s through the 1990s, his impact and influence as a teacher of poster design and printmaking in Latin America is equaled by few.
Rufino Silva was a Puerto Rican painter who studied in New York, Chicago, and Paris under the G.I. Bill, a U.S. government program that funded veteran education after service. He taught painting for more than 20 years at the Art Institute of Chicago until he retired in 1982.
Silva was especially known for his paintings of sinister, powerful men juxtaposed by nude women in mysterious poses. Here, Homar has reinterpreted one of these paintings to promote an exhibition of Silva’s work in San Juan.
