Inside Becharas thought process for his meticulously planned and painted colorful geometric grids Puerto Rico-born, New York-based artist Tony Bechara (born 1942) served as board president of El Museo del Barrio for 15 years, while also honing his own geometric abstraction process. Dividing his canvas into hundreds of quarter-inch squares, Bechara meticulously fills each space in with complementary colors. The resulting grid paintings thus evoke a variety of cultural influences: from Seurats pioneering pointillism to hard-edge abstraction, traditional weaving and 8-bit pixel art of the last half century. In keeping with Becharas richly chromatic oeuvre, this artists book is inspired by Becharas notes and color formulas that form the basis for his acrylic paintings. It features over 130 illustrations, with foldouts and multiple materials, as well as a glossary of key motifs that introduces Becharas personal artistic language to the public for the first time. This book was published in conjunction with Tony Bechara
