This work is one of mixed media and collage. The original photogravure has ink and paint applied and is float-framed on rag paper with collage, and metal leaf. The palette is one dominated by grays with metallic gold. The photogravure itself is from a likeness of a painting by Fortune-Joseph-Seraphin Layraud of Franz Liszt, the famous 19th century Hungarian pianist & composer. Liszt is shown full-length, standing with his arms crossed, looking directly at the viewer, head slightly raised. He is resting against a desk, one foot casually crossed over the other. A music stand with sheet music is seen behind him. To this, the contemporary artist has added a small framed portrait standing on the desk behind Liszt. This portrait is of Liszt, mirroring the larger version of Liszt's face. And both of these appear with traditional clown make-up, including white-face, red bulbous nose and blue vertical stripes across the eyes. Liszt's shoulder-length hair has been tinted orange. This photogravure has been float-framed over a collage work, gold metal leaf framing the top, sheet music surrounding the center, and silhouettes of a small 'audience' at the bottom. The work is titled "Liszt in a Private Moment" and may reflect the artist's own insecurities within his famed personna. The work is in pristine condition and signed by the artist. It is shown matted and framed for sizing perspective only.

Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at delacruzarts.com. "De La Cruz's mastery of formal and experimental techniques reflects a career dedicated to creative probing and discipline. It is rare indeed to come into contact with an artist who so successfully ranges from abstraction to surrealism in single canvases. Themes of personal identity and interpersonal responsiveness are layered into his work, allowing the viewer to share in the artist's process of questioning the relationships of his subjects to the world. The insights that develop in his works are universal in their ability to connect the reflective with the informative." Joaquin Alvarado Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators (2001). His was the only Spanish surname. At the first International Latino Art Auction held in Phoenix, AZ in conjunction with Sotheby's (2003), De La Cruz proved the best selling artist of the auction and drew the highest auction price for a single work. The Denver Art Museum's first purchase of a living Hispanic's work for its permanent collection was a De La Cruz. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building (2007). De La Cruz was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship in 2000. For a spell in 2006, works of De La Cruz were included in three unrelated art museum exhibits in Denver (Denver Art Museum, El Museo and the Mizel). Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe District in Denver and his new studio in the Little River District of Miami.
