• Lot Description
  CÉSAR LÓPEZ OSORNIO (La Plata, Argentina, 1930-2015). Untitled, from the series "Floating Suns", 1995. Acrylic on canvas. Signed and dated on the back. With stamp on the back of the Maria José Castellví Gallery, Barcelona. Measurements: 40 x 40 cm. Trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of La Plata, in 1960, César López Osornio received a scholarship to study in Japan for three years. There he learned Asian arts, oriental arts and landscape architecture, studied Zen philosophy and spent 45 days in a Buddhist temple. Upon his return, César López Osornio became a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of La Plata, as well as at the Faculty of Architecture of the Catholic University of La Plata. In 1975, he traveled through Colombia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Venezuela, reflecting on the possibility of bringing together all Latin American artists. As a result of this idea, he held a first exhibition of these painters in 1992 in Europe. Later, in 1999, he founded the MACLA Museum of Contemporary Latin American Artists in Argentina. His work, which is classified as free geometry, does not adhere to a single movement, but is related to the Parisian Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel, as well as to the concepts of severity and rationality. López Osornio participated in more than 300 individual and collective exhibitions in his native country and the rest of the world. He also exhibited his work in galleries and museums in Argentina, Venezuela, Japan, Colombia, France, Puerto Rico, Spain, Bulgaria, Bratislava and Italy, and worked as a muralist, designer and landscape architect.
