Description: This rarely found silkscreen by Osvaldo de Jesus was never used and is in mint condition. It was probably created at the start of the 1980's, early in his career. The serigraph, titled Los Diez Mandamientos de los hombres libres (by) (Ramon Emeterio) Betances (1827-1898), has strong colors and is on sturdy paper. The deep gold background is stunning. There are no folds, tears, wrinkles or age spots (See photos). De Jesus pencil signed his name and did not write a date or series. ARTIST: Osvaldo de Jesus (Cruz), an artist and printmaker, was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico in 1963. His studio is in the Islote section of Arecibo. He graduated from the University of Puerto Rico's Rio Piedras campus. He began obtaining awards and special mentions for his art in 1988. He's won awards in Puerto Rico, Poland, Spain, and Cuba. He's participated in single and joint exhibitions in Puerto Rico, Spain, England, Korea, Japan, Bulgaria, France, Bolivia, the U.S., Mexico and Macedonia. He continues to have art exhibits, most recently in 2021. He's considered one of the Eighties Generation and is believed by artist critics to be among the best of Puerto Rico's artists of the last 60 years. His work is influenced by Puerto Rican politics, history and traditions including the yearly "Fiestas de la calle San Sebastian." He's also mastered the art of painting flowers and fauna.
