41 reviews

Attributed to Leon Ferrari, Argentine, 1920 to 2013, ink painting on paper depicting an abstract composition, 1961. Signed and dated, lower right. Leon Ferrari was an Argentine contemporary conceptual artist. During his extended art career, his artworks often protested the Argentine government, the imperialist west, and the Church. Ferraris protest piece Western and Christian Civilization, which depicted a near life size Christ hanging crucified on an American fighter jet, attracted controversy when he created it in 1965, and it has been exhibited many times since. Ferrari caused protests against his work throughout his career, including from Pope Francis when he was still Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio. Modern Latin American Fine Art, Abstract Expressionist Paintings, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
