And, as nobody wanted what I did, I was pleasing myself, and that’s the answer.”⁣ ⁣ Today we're celebrating the incomparable #CarmenHerrera, who turns 105! ✨ ⁣ ⁣ Herrera, who sold her first work when she was 89, has been a groundbreaking figure in geometric abstract painting since the 1940s—marking arguably the longest sustained investigation of the medium.⁣ ⁣ Herrera was the first artist to use acrylic paint in Europe, and this lyrical, dynamic composition—created during her crucial formative period in Paris—is an early demonstration of her use of this new material.⁣ ⁣ 🎨 Carmen Herrera (Cuban, 1915).
