Emilio Sanchez Stamp Story

Best known for his architectural works, artist Emilio Sanchez (1921
1999) explored the effects of light and shadow to emphasize the abstract geometry of his subjects. His artwork encompasses his Cuban heritage as well as his long life in New York City. Combining naturalism and abstraction, Sanchez’s architectural paintings and lithographs are not precise renderings but rather subjective interpretations of reality. Each work often depicts a single building. All extraneous details have been stripped away, although sometimes he highlights a specific feature, like a balustrade, arched doorway, or balcony. Strong light and deep shadows play across each building’s façade, delineating and emphasizing its abstract geometry without ever obscuring its true character.
Today, Sanchez's work can be found in permanent collections around the world, where it inspires new generations of artists to look anew at the endless variation of shapes and shadows created by architectural forms.
