More about its history<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to a publication by the writer Fernando Casanova:<\/span><\/p>\n

Nadal Jonas Walcot was born in 1945 at the Consuelo de San Pedro de Macor\u00eds<\/strong> sugar mill. He was imprisoned and exiled for his ideas and political actions, when thinking about politics and, above all, doing politics against the system was so dangerous that you could die or hopefully be exiled as was his case, to Mexico, the United States and Europe, where lived for 7 years.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It was his uncles who transmitted his interest in art. They made toys out of wood, tin, or any other material. It was the time when children enjoyed real toys, which in this case were handmade by artisans. Walcot drew these toys and this activity gradually created the skill of drawing, of the transmutation of the object into a two-dimensional expression on paper.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1972, already in the Netherlands as an exile, Walcot discovered the work of the Dutch artist M.C. Escher in the museums of Amsterdam, and with him the geometric paradoxes, the naive projection of perspective<\/strong> that makes Walcot’s trains run without tracks. He tells us that it was like a kind of revelation about what he wanted to make of his life; dedicate himself to art, drawing in particular.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nadal Walcot<\/a> was \u00abrecognized for his naive style paintings, with which he portrayed the cocolo culture, its dances, and manifestations of popular religiosity.\u00bb Peace to his remains and thanks for everything!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
