We just purchased this 20x24 painting by the surrealist Salvadoran artist Benjamin Cañas (1933-1987). “The War Lord” was commissioned by clients for their Japanese style home. It spurred Cañas to study Japanese history – and in the late 1970s, he made several paintings in this series.
It is the 15th work of his that we have in our Central American Art collection.
