Muros signos

As a Venezuelan abstract artist in the 1960s, Jaimes Sánchez was influenced by Spanish Informalism, which led him to join the “Informalistas” group between 1960 and 1962. In 1961 he began printmaking, joining the group of engravers “El Taller” in 1962. In the same year he won the National Prize for Painting at the Venezuelan Salón Oficial. This painting by Jaimes Sánchez belongs to a period in which textural effects took precedence over color in the artist’s interest.
