Portret van Luis E. Pombo
1928
Guillermo Laborde captures his subject, Luis E. Pombo, in a striking pose that feels both casual and commanding, almost like a modern guru perched on his podium. Dressed in a vivid green turtleneck that pops against the deep teal background, Pombo sits cross-legged on a bold, geometric red table with an open book on his lap. His raised hand suggests he's mid-conversation, perhaps pausing to explain a complex idea to the viewer. Created in 1928, this portrait is a masterpiece of Uruguayan modernism and Laborde's signature 'Planismo' style, a movement he founded that flattened the world into distinct planes of vibrant, unblended color.
