Esteban Vicente: Portrait of an Artist (NR)

synopsis

In 1940 Vicente entered a period of creative crisis that led him to American Abstract Expressionism. Over a period of two decades, he gradually consolidated his own uniquely personal style, based on vibrant chromatic harmonies and vaguely geometric structures. Vicente and his wife Harriet fort came to the East End of Long Island in 1963 and bought an old farmhouse in Bridgehampton where they lived for nearly 40 years.
