拍品专文

"While it is certainly true that Bravo has very consciously forged his own path and makes his art with particular attention to the traditions of classicism and academic convention, I always argue that he is, at the same time, a modern painter, and even a radical one. Bravo's intense dedication to the figure, to his own peculiar view of observed reality and his steadfast disregard of any of the artistic fashions of his time have defined him as an individualist."

Edward J. Sullivan, quoted in Edward J. Sullivan, "Obsession and Mediation: A Decade of Work by Claudio Bravo," in Paul Bowles, et al., Claudio Bravo: Paintings and Drawings (1964/2004). New York: Rizzoli, 2005, 250.
