Artstor



ARTstor has collaborated with the Emilio Sanchez Foundation to share 79 images of works by the Cuban-born American artist Emilio Sanchez (1921–1999), which are now available in the Digital Library. Sanchez is best known for paintings and prints that depict the play of light and shadow on architectural structures. He also explored light and compositional structure through non-architectural themes, including still lifes and landscapes. Internationally renowned, Sanchez has had many solo and group exhibitions around the world and his works are represented in numerous private and public collections
