Nuestra Isla by Ricardo Rey

This item is an original limited edition lithograph or silkscreen print titled 'Nuestra Isla' by the artist Ricardo Rey. The artwork is a black and grey monochromatic composition executed in a sharp, geometric cubist and semi-abstract style. The imagery depicts a coastal or harbor scene featuring a variety of Puerto Rican or Caribbean architectural and cultural motifs, including a 'garita' (sentry box) on the left, a stylized cityscape in the background, jagged mountain peaks above, and a cruise ship or vessel on the right. The foreground is dominated by a repetitive, rhythmic pattern of stylized fish. The print is executed on a heavy white art paper or cardstock with visible margins. It features handwritten pencil notations below the image: the edition number (likely out of 50 or 75) on the bottom left, the title 'Nuestra Isla' in the center, and the artist's signature 'Ricardo Rey' on the bottom right. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is noticeablefoxing (small brown age spots) throughout the white margins and some potential light waving to the paper. The craftsmanship shows clean line work and sophisticated tonal blocking characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century printmaking in Latin American modernism.
