- Lot Description
Carlos Licon (California Chicano, 1929-1982). "Toast of Harlequins" oil on board, ca. 1950s. Signed at lower left. A wonderful painting by Chicano artist Carlos Licon that depicts a pair of harlequin figures with classic colorful suits as well as ruffs at the necks and wrists. The upper figure holds a vermilion flower, while the lower figure raises his violet wine glass. The harlequin reference originated in Italy's commedia dell'arte, a popular form of theater in which the harlequin is foolishly and repetitively unsuccessful in love. Like many modernists, including Joan Miro, the Mexican and Chicano artists likely came to know of this character through the work of Pablo Picasso. A special piece set against a burlap covered wooden mount. Size: 48" L x 17.875" W (121.9 cm x 45.4 cm) Size of frame: 54.375" L x 22.625" W (138.1 cm x 57.5 cm)
Carlos Licon was a painter and draftsman who was active in the Los Angeles area and worked in a style inspired by the Mexican Modernists. In general, Mexican Indigenism greatly influenced Chicano/Chicana artists who were responding to increased ethnic consciousness. However, they also looked to European artistic influences including Renaissance frescos and modern masters.
