This stunning work was acquired in Cuba in 1947. It was a gift from Rodolfo Ruibal, and family, to the present owner. Ruibal was a Professor of Biology Emeritus, as UC Riverside, and also a Cuban immigrant. The present owner, was the late Dr. Aurelio de la Vega. He was a one of the most significant contemporary classical music conductors and composers in the recent past, and a professor of music, at Cal State Northridge. I had the great fortune of sharing a friendship with him, over the past 25 years. We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity of this work. If shipped internationally, it will be removed from the framing, and shipped fully insured, via DHL. Mario Carreño was a Cuban-born Chilean painter known for his unique style, which blends Cubist abstraction and surrealism with techniques seen in Mexican muralist paintings. Carreño was part of the second generation of Modern artists working in Cuba during the 20th century.
