Zilia Sanchez, Cuban artist renowned for shaped, abstract canvases, has died, aged 98
Briefly

Zilia Sánchez, celebrated for her abstract paintings and sculptures that evoke the feminine form, only gained widespread recognition in the last decade of her life.
Mighty beyond her small stature, Sánchez forged an artistic path that had little recognition until her mid-80s; this should be an inspiration to many of us.
Sánchez's work, characterized by bulbous contours and erotic themes, has significantly contributed to post-war Latin American modernism and feminist art.
The exhibitions at Galerie Lelong played a crucial role in promoting Sánchez's art, culminating in her first ever works in marble showcased in 2019-20.
