Benito Quinquela Martin, “Elevadores a Pleno Sol”, 1945, Oil on Canvas
Benito Quinquela Martín was an Argentine painter born in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Quinquela Martín is considered the port painter-par-excellence and one of the most popular Argentine painters. His paintings of port scenes show the activity, vigor and roughness of the daily life in the port of La Boca.
On the cover of Benito Quinquela Martin’s coffin was the following quote and a painting of the port of La Boca.
“Quien vivió rodeado de color no puede ser enterrado en una caja lisa”
(“He who lived surrounded by colour cannot be buried in a plain box.”)

This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
