Abstract
Marcos Irizarry (Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 1936-San Juan, Puerto Rico 1995) es uno de los artistas plásticos puertorriqueños más destacados e influyentes que creó una de las obras gráficas y pictóricas abstractas más significativas en Puerto Rico y España. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo el estudio y análisis de la obra de Marcos Irizarry. El estudio de la obra de Marcos Irizarry es importante, ya que los trabajos y escritos realizados tanto en Puerto Rico como en España son limitados, y mayormente se basan en el contexto puertorriqueño.

It was concluded that the work takes on a different character if it is seen as part of the Spanish post-war aesthetic process or whether it falls within the scope of Puerto Rican art...
