ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is an original large oil painting on masonite board by American artist Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO). The work is 40.5” high by 22” wide. The subject is a full-length portrait of a female flamenco dancer in motion. The young woman’s long red flamenco skirt, lined in black, is flying around her hips and has been painted in a surrealist interpretation of the movement, the chaotic motion of a moment caught. Her bare legs and red high heeled shoes are in full view under the skirt’s movement, the ball of her front foot striking the floor. Her elbow is thrust behind her, her chin whipped to the front, her long dark hair falling around her shoulders. This was painted from a photo taken by the artist in a small flamenco bar in Seville, Spain. The dancer’s performance very much impressed him. The palette is bright red and black over muted browns, greens and reds. The work is aptly titled “Flair for Movement.” It is in pristine condition and signed front lower right by the artist. It includes the original framing which is a fairly massive antique gold gilt ornate wood frame. The framed size is 47” high by 29” wide. The work is ready for hanging.

Jerry De La Cruz
United States
Born 1948, Denver, CO. Saatchi site presence maintained by Young's Fine Art. Extensive website at . "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.
