Front Flap:

Born in Mexico City in 1915, Gunther Gerzso is one of the foremost Latin American artists of the Twentieth Century. Gerzso's hard-edged architectural compositions make referencee to Pre-Columbian art, jungle, desert, urban landscapes, as well as the European modernist traditions of Cubism and Surrealism. The formal perfection of Gerzso's paintings suggest one one aspect of their power to engage the viewer. Hidden deep withinn the recesses and antechambers of the compositions, Gerzso hints at another reality, charged with eros.
