Jaime Colson was born in the city of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic in 1901 and died in Santo Domingo in 1975. He studied painting at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. He also studied in Barcelona where he deepened the drawing with the Catalan masters of early twentieth century. He lived in Paris in the 1920s where his painting took a turn sharply humanist. Influenced by Picasso, Braque and Leger, cubist works carried out architectural backgrounds with attachment to the geometric. Jaime Colson went to Mexico, where he lived from 1934 to 1938. He taught at the Art School for Workers and delved into studies of murals with emphasis on social issues so popular in Mexico convulsed. He worked and became friends with Siqueiros, Orozco and Diego Rivera. He made several exhibitions, introducing a free version of Cubism neohumanist successfully. |
