SERGIO DE CASTRO: Figures et lignes

Sergio de Castro was a multi-faceted artist who took an interest in a number of different fields: music, architecture, stained glass, painting, drawing, and more. The genre-breaking artist used various techniques in his work: painting with oil and egg tempera, and working with gouache, ink and pencil. Moreover, his work took on many subjects: still lifes, the studio, landscapes, portraits, and more. Within this multi-faceted body of work, we have chosen to focus on the theme of the human figure in the artist’s work from the first half of the 1950s.
