Image: 506 Hunts Point Ave (after Sanchez), Bronx, NY 2011
Original photographs and a short video about the Bronx work of the Cuban-born, New York modernist painter Emilio Sanchez (1921 – 1999). Created in the late 1980s, his paintings depict storefronts in the South Bronx neighborhoods of Hunts Point and Mott Haven. Through interviews, original photographs from Sanchez’s studio, and revisiting places that he painted, the video explores his personality and vision.
Commissioned by the Bronx Museum of the Arts for the exhibition Urban Archives: Emilio Sanchez and the Bronx.
