Angel Botello Abstract Oil Painting on Board, Latin Artist

Ángel Botello (June 20, 1913 - November 11, 1986) was a Spanish-Puerto Rican painter, sculptor, and graphic artist. He was dubbed "The Caribbean Gauguin" for his bold colors and depictions of island life. Botello is considered one of the greatest Latin American post-modern artists, and recognition and demand for his artwork continue to grow today, fetching unprecedented auction prices. Ángel Botello was never attached to any particular artistic school or movement and was a protean artist: he developed his artistic style. Botello was a versatile and many-sided artist who worked in all creative media at his reach: oil paintings, drawing, printmaking, bronze sculptures, wood carving, photography, and mosaics.
