Jose Diaz – Spanish 2 – yellow top

Description

This richly colored work exemplifies Díaz’s boldest painterly voice. Blocks of crimson, violet, ochre, and emerald push forward against a chartreuse base and moody horizon. The composition feels like a vibrant Mediterranean townscape rendered through the language of modernism—Cubist in architecture, yet expressionist in spirit.

Painted in the latter decades of his career, this piece speaks to Díaz’s full embrace of color as emotional narrative. It’s a compact yet expansive painting that pulses with both structure and spontaneity, connecting his Spanish heritage with the postwar innovation of his Paris years.

Condition: Excellent, gold metal frame has minor scratching and wear.
