VICTOR MANUEL GARCIA VALDÉS (1897-1969)
Víctor Manuel García Valdés was a well known Cuban painter of the Avant-garde movement. Born in Havana, at age 12, he started studying arts at San Alejandro Art School, the most recognized art school in Cuba. In 1925, he travels abroad, visiting France. It is in Montparnasse that a group of French artists advised him to sign his paintings only as Víctor Manuel (until that moment, he used his entire name and surname). Víctor Manuel's style was not monolithic, but evolved greatly, during his lifetime. His first paintings show a tendency to mix European school with a primitive style, such as La Gitana Tropical (1929). In the 1940s and 1950s, he adopted a more stylized look that became distinctive of his work. During the last years of his life, his style became almost abstract, and his portraits were almost cubist.
