"Aníbal Gil Villa is a draftsman, painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He studied under Rafael Sáenz (1910–1998) and spent time in Europe from 1954 to 1957, where he studied painting techniques at the Academia de San Marcos in Florence, making several trips to visit the main European museums. When he returned to Medellín he took a teaching position and began producing work that was initially influenced by Cubism, Piero della Francesca, Renaissance techniques, and the ideas of the Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres García. In 1964, Gil Villa started the Taller de Grabado [Print Shop] at the Universidad de Antioquia, where he pioneered the teaching of a number of different printing techniques (woodcut, etching, and lithography), rehabilitating a local tradition that had died out."

There is a tear on the left side of the print that has not been taped or repaired on the rear, but is covered by the matting. It has recently been framed with black matting. The Teak wood frame has some minor scuffs along the edges (see photos), but is otherwise intact and in good condition. Any wear is commensurate with age and past handling. less
