Grilo, Sarah
(b Buenos Aires, 1920). Argentine painter. She studied painting in Buenos Aires under the Spanish Catalan painter Vicente Puig until 1943 and lived in Spain and France from 1948 to 1950, when she returned to Buenos Aires. She was a founder-member of the Grupo de Artistas Modernos de la Argentina in 1952 and in 1957 went on a study trip to Europe and the USA with her husband, the painter José Antonio Fernández Muro. Having worked briefly in a figurative idiom she adopted a lyrical style of abstraction, characterized by refined colour harmonies and thick impasto, that was in marked contrast to the Constructivist tendencies then prevalent in Argentina. Emphasizing emotive over rational qualities, she combined highly tactile surfaces with more ambiguously defined areas.
