Mateo Manaure

[2] In Venezuela he is considered a master of abstractionism, and is known for his works in the University City of Caracas and for creating the largest glass mural in the world.

He made a trip back to Caracas the next year to work with the Taller Libre de Arte, before returning to Paris in 1950 and being involved with the artistic movement of Los disidentes.

He returned to Caracas in 1952 to found the Galería Cuatro Muros with Carlos González Bogan, and gave the first exhibition of abstract art in Venezuela.

For the next several years, Manaure continued to develop within abstract art, which made up the Venezuelan artistic avant-garde of that time.

He later returned to more traditional graphic art forms, especially lithography, though still did some work in abstract expression.
