Cesar ANDRADE [Venezuelan] (b. 1939) Puntigrama 170, 1993 Acrylic and nails on panel. Signed, dated and titled on the back. 28 x 14 cm Provenance : Galerie Saint-Charles de Rose, Paris. A graduate of the École des Arts Plastiques in Barquisimeto (Venezuela), Cesar Andrade (Guarico, 1939) moved to Paris in 1968, where he exhibited his first linigramas. In his works, he uses rows of nails to generate kinetic movements in relation to the orientation of shadows on the supports. "Cesar Andrade's works are produced with a minimum of means, rigorous craftsmanship and a pared-down, effective language." (Carlos Cruz Diez)
