Lot 142: Suite of 5 Ernesto Seco (1958-2011) Drawings

Suite of 5 Ernesto Seco (1958-2011) Drawings Richman Estate. In spite of his successful initiation as a promising, young writer, Seco did not really find himself until he started drawing. During his short career in literature and journalism, he also took life drawing classes, studying the human figure. After three years of drawing devotedly, he painted his first canvases and found the true vocation of his life. At the age of 33, after five years of studying human anatomy an the technique of materials in a self-taught way, he had his first solo exhibit at the Jardin Borda Museum.In 1996 Seco left his native Mexico and came to the United States with his eye on its music, creating a large and impressive body of work based on classical music and the musician. From 1998 on, as guest of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, he sketched the orchestra during their closed-door rehearsals. His sketches, the origins of his paintings on canvas, are rich with an expressive and intuitive line.
