From Magritte's pipe to Picasso's guitar, this painting is a full-fledged guide to 1920s bohemian Paris. Take an absinthe-fueled journey with modernist Jaime Colson on our blog today. Here’s an excerpt:
Jaime Colson (1901-1975) was a teenager when he left his homeland of the Dominican Republic to study art in Spain. The talented young painter landed smack in the middle of the Spanish avant-garde, rubbing elbows with Salvador Dali and befriending Rafael Barradas and other artists. Colson lived there for six years and developed a surrealist style. His next move was to perhaps the only place that could be stranger than España surrealisto: 1920’s bohemian Paris.
Jaime Colson (1901-1975), Dominican Republic. He studied in Europe in the 1920′s and was influenced by American modernism.
