Ignacio Núñez Soler (1891-1983) was a Paraguayan artist and anarchist.
Biography
Ignacio Núñez Soler was born in 1891.[1] Núñez was the first general secretary of the Regional Workers' Center of Paraguay (CORP), an anarcho-syndicalist trade union center founded in 1916.[2]
A self-taught artist, he became one of Paraguay's foremost modernist painters.[3] Although he had no contact with the established modernist movement himself, his work developed in parallel with it.[4] His work displayed a nostalgia for Asunción's past, depicting political events or popular celebrations that had changed the city's urban identity.[5] Unlike other modernists, he sought out short-cuts to achieve his desired outcomes and mixed together avant-garde styles with popular culture.[6] His work unintentionally echoed themes from primitivism, including the works of Henri Rousseau.[7] It also displayed his own version of naïve art.[5]
He died in 1983.[1] His work is exhibited in the Museo del Barro, in Asunción.[8] In 2002, his work was the subject of a study by Roberto Amigo for the book Guerra, anarquía y goce.[9]
