Carlos Merida (Guatemalan/Mexican, 1891-1984) Gouache and ink on paper depicting an abstract composition of interlocking geometric shapes that suggest stylized figures. The palette features vibrant primary blues and yellows, complemented by warm oranges, browns, and whites, all delineated with bold black outlines. Signed "CARLOS MERIDA 1970" in the lower center. Unframed. Carlos Merida was a pioneering Guatemalan-Mexican artist recognized for his abstract and geometric approach. Though associated with Mexican muralism, his unique style diverged from its narrative tradition, focusing on abstraction and indigenous motifs. He remains a significant figure in modern Latin American art. Dimensions: Unframed: 12 5/8 x 9 inches Provenance: Private collection.
