CARMELO ARDEN QUINN (Uruguay, 1913 - France, 2010). Untitled, 1992, from the "Suite Olympic Centennial". Lithograph on 270 grams Vélin d'Arches paper, copy 197/250. Signed and justified by hand. Size: 90 x 63 cm. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics. Carmelo Arden Quinn, an outstanding painter and sculptor, was the founder, together with the Argentinean-Hungarian artist Gyula Kosice, of "Madí Art". He met Joaquín Torres García in 1935, who steered him towards abstraction and geometrisation.
