"Personage in profile". 1962

This work belongs to a stage of full maturity in the career of Francisco Bores, when his plastic language is already completely refined. Settled in Paris since the 1920s and linked to the so-called School of Paris, Bores developed a synthetic and personal figuration, located between structural abstraction and poetic evocation of the figure.

The work reveals Bores' ability to transform the figure into rhythm and architecture, where each line fulfills a constructive function. The result is a contained, silent and profoundly modern image, which confirms his singular contribution to the renewal of figuration in 20th century Spanish art.

Francisco Borés is represented in the most important museums around the world, including the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, Gothenburg and Baltimore, the MOMA in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the National Galleries of Athens and Edinburgh, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, and the Modern Art Museums of Stockholm, Turin and Madrid.
