NEW YORK -- Cuban-born artist Carmen Herrera, whose radiant color and geometric paintings were overlooked for decades before the art world took notice, has died. She was 106.Artist Antonio Bechara told The New York Times that Herrera had died at her Manhattan home Saturday.Fame finally came at age 89, when Herrera sold her first painting in 2004.It may have taken 60 years for Herrera to be discovered, but today her paintings — minimalist compositions of straight lines, form and color — are found in permanent collections of major museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Modern in London.“The core to Carmen Herrera’s painting is a drive for formal simplicity and a striking sense of color,” according to the London-based Lisson Gallery.
“A master of crisp lines and contrasting chromatic planes, Herrera creates symmetry, asymmetry and an infinite variety of movement, rhythm and spatial tension across the canvas.”In 2009, the Observer of London asked, “How can we have missed these beautiful compositions?”Herrera said she painted because she had to.“It’s a compulsion that also gives me pleasure. I never in my life had any idea of money and I thought fame was a very vulgar thing.
... And at the end of my life, I’m getting a lot of recognition, to my amazement and my pleasure,” she said in a 2009 interview.Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1915, Herrera was the daughter of the founding editor of the Havana-based newspaper El Mundo and a mother who was a reporter.She studied architecture at a university in Havana, and moved frequently between Cuba and Paris during the 1930s and 1940s.

Each man dedicates his portion of the song to a beloved person: one his wife, one his unrequited love, one his estranged father.
