ABOUT THE WORK

Like the stark monochromatic imagery of Francisco Goya’s prints and drawings, which profoundly influenced the work of David Alfar Siqueiros, Canto General 9 depicts a scene that is lively and dreamlike despite its unsettling characteristics. Here, a face is discernible amidst the violent, gestural strokes demarcating the landscape and sky. The work belongs to the Canto General series, in which Siqueiros illustrates the famous book of poems by the same name, penned by his friend, Chilean poet Pablo Neruda.
