Alejandro Otero (El Manteco, Bolívar March 7, 1921 - Caracas 13th, August 1990) was a Venezuelan artist, writer and cultural promoter.
He studied at the "Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Artes Aplicadas de Caracas" from 1939 to 1945. After finishing his studies he traveled to New York and Paris where he focused his work on a revision of cubism, particularly with his series entitled "cafeteras". This works became well known in 1948 at an exhibition in Washington, D.C. since they served as a transition for Otero to overcome Realism and start a new era for Venezuelan painting.[citation needed] Towards the end of his life he carried out many monumental public art commissions in many American cities.[citation needed]
