Description: THIS IS A VERY RARE SET OF REMARKABLE SILVERPOINT DRAWINGS CREATED BY JOSE LUIS CUEVAS IN THE 1960s, WHICH WAS UNDOUBTEDLY HIS BEST PERIOD. THOUGH THERE MAY BE OTHER CUEVAS SILVERPOINT DRAWINGS IN EXISTENCE, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST 50+ YEARS. IN 1965, THEN NEW YORK TIMES ART CRITIC, JOHN CANADAY, WROTE: “SURELY THERE IS NOT A MORE REFINED CRAFTSMAN AT WORK TODAY THAN CUEVAS, NO ARTIST WHO DRAWS A LINE WITH MORE DELICATE CALCULATION, WHO MORE FIRMLY REJECTS THE IMPULSIVE STAB OR THE QUICK, SUGGESTIVE SQUIGGLE. NO ARTIST, NOT EVEN HIERONYMUS BOSCH, HAS MANAGED TO MAKE HORROR MORE ELEGANT.” WORKS BY JOSE LUIS CUEVAS ARE IN THE COLLECTION OF NUMEROUS MAJOR MUSEUMS, INCLUDING THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MOMA) IN NEW YORK CITY, AND THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART, WASHINGTON, D.C. (31 WORKS) JOSE LUIS CUEVAS DIED ON JULY 3, 2017.
