      **This is an oversized piece that may require special shipping. Please inquire for a quote prior to bidding. Federico Assler (Chilean, b. 1929). "Florecimiento Tardio" (Late Blooming) acrylic on canvas, 1965. Signed and dated by the artist at the lower left. A breathtaking painting by Chilean modernist Federico Assler, "Florecimiento Tardio" presents a close-up view of a blooming flower. Assler has brought the blossom dramatically close to the picture plane, presenting the anatomy of the flower with sharply defined forms and a magical color palette of coral, rose, vermilion, and gold hues. All is presented against a rich background - shades of deep plum below and azure blue above. Note Assler's fascination with the voluminosity of this single flower. This interest in volume would lead Assler to become a sculptor, best known for his monumental concrete pieces. This said, the artist has always refused to be called a sculptor. Instead he prefered the title of constructor, and stated, "I believe that art - any form of art - is a construction." Size of painting: 34.875" L x 47.375" W (88.6 cm x 120.3 cm) Size of frame: 36" L x 48.5" W (91.4 cm x 123.2 cm) Federico Assler Brown studied at the School of Architecture of the Catholic University of Valparaiso and the School of Fine Arts in Vina of the Sea. A painter as well as a sculptor, Assler became a member of the Generacion del Cincuenta - a group of sculptors (including Sergio Mallol, Raul Valdivieso, and Sergio Castillo Mandiola) who experimented with innovative materials and techniques - as well as the Rectangle Group. Assler also held leadership roles at the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of Chile - as Executive Secretary between 1964 and 1968 and later as the Director. Furthermore, he taught sculpture at the School of the Arts of the Catholic University and landscaping at the School of Applied Arts of the University of Chile. From 1973 to 1983, Assler lived in Spain where he created public art in Tenerife, Canary Islands. After he returned to his native Chile, he joined the Organization of Sculptors, later known as the Society of Sculptors of Chile, and became its director. In 2009, Assler received the National Prize of Plastic Arts of Chile.
