Guido Llinas Miami1

This site is essentially dedicated to research, as we consider Guido Llinás' work to be an important contribution to the visual arts of the Black Atlantic.

The highlight of the new site is our attempt to begin compiling a catalog raisonné of this work, scattered all over the world (except Australia and Africa, by the way).

 To do this, we're relying mainly on the painter's archives and various friendships, but we're far, far from having located their current owners.

This often results in poor image quality and a lack of information.

Sometimes we don't know the format, sometimes the technique or the medium, while information on the location of the work is usually based on information that is more than 30 years old, or even 40 years old.

We're calling on anyone who knows of a work or owns one or more works to let us know about it (in any technique). Many thanks in advance for your help!

We are delighted to announce that the painter's archives will soon be available at the Bibliothèque Kandinski of the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou in Paris. 

And we can also announce that this catalog raisonné in spe will soon include Guido's early works, owned by the family of Sergio Llinás, Havana.

May his example encourage Cuban collectors who own works by the painter and have been unable or unwilling to do so until now, to show them.

The great problem with research on Llinás is that his work is practically divided in two: the Cuban period, from 1946 to 1963, and the period of exile, from 1963 to 2005, the year of his death in Paris.

We don't believe that 1963 marks a complete break. We believe we can affirm the existence of a certain number of stylistic traits that are still present today.

But without the presence of earlier works, we can't formulate certainties, let alone draw conclusions. 

So we've set aside the Estate Paris, which is better organized and up to date. Let's hope it won't be for much longer.

May the catalog raisonné help to bring together this important work, at least - for the time being - virtually, and to give Cuba a faithful and as complete a picture as possible of this universal pinareño.
