Biography
Biography Esteban Vicente 1903 - 2001
Esteban Vicente (1903-2001) is a noted member of the New York School, whose career spanned eight decades and two continents. As part of the first generation of the Post-War American Abstract Expressionists Vicente’s lyrical abstraction served as a reflective counterpoint to Action Painting. Classically trained, Vicente’s observations of the natural world with its intangible relationships result in deeply meditative works that emphasize the play between color, light, and form.
