Francisco Oller Collection- Digital

19th century Paris was the center of the art world
and right in the midst of the Impressionist Movement
was the only Latin American artist:
Francisco Oller!

This Puerto Rican painter’s skill and passion for his homeland is vividly evoked in his multifaceted artwork. Although much of Oller’s work has been lost or destroyed, The Art of Color Study has provided an in-depth artist study bringing to the forefront the painter who put the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico on the map of the art world.

“Like the writer, the artist must participate in the epoch in which he lives; he must be of his country, of his people, if he wants to be authentic.”-Francisco Oller
