An oil and mixed media work on paper depicting a stylised female bust, defined by bold contour lines and areas of expressive colour. The composition reflects Carnero’s early figurative period, where simplified form and strong linear structure are balanced by a fluid, painterly use of colour.
Carlos Carnero (1922–1980) was a Uruguayan-born artist who settled in Paris in the 1940s. He studied under André Lhote before joining the atelier of Fernand Léger, whose influence, alongside that of Picasso and Miró, informed his early figurative work. By the 1960s, Carnero moved towards abstraction and became associated with the Parisian Tachisme movement.
