Artist Bio: Vicente Brito was born in 1935, grew up during the 1950s and was inspired by the artistic culture of the time. Abstract Expressionism, a form of painting that explored ideas of spirituality and the sublime, dominated the 1950s. A number of artists concentrated on the formal properties of painting, and action painting was influenced by the political freedom of the United States, as opposed to the strict strictures of the Soviet bloc. Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Frank Kline, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still and Adolph Gottlieb were predominant artists of this period. The male dominated environment has been subsequently revisited to recognize the contributions of female artists such as Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Louise Bourgeois, amongst others.
