Description: Fernández left Havana for Paris in 1959, embarking on a trans-Atlantic journey that witnessed a remarkable transformation of his practice as he came into contact with late Surrealism and geometric abstraction. In Las Tres Gracias the erotics of the body, here allusively distilled and repeated, insinuate a vestigial biomorphism that wavers between erotic suggestion and hard-edged geometry. -Text by Abigail McEwen
