Jorge Cocco Santangelo

JORGE COCCO SANTÁNGELO was born in Argentina in 1936. He is a selftaught artist with international recognition. He calls his style “sacrocubism” because of his sacred subject matter and the clear influence of cubism. As a style, sacrocubism moves the viewer’s attention away from superfluous details—textures of fabric, the accuracy of historical backgrounds, or the impossibility of capturing an exact likeness of Christ—by depicting simple shapes that allow the viewer to focus on the essential and most holy aspects of the sacred events themselves.
