Item Description
Francisco “Paco” Sainz was born in 1923 in Santander, Spain. A political dissident, Sainz left Spain for Portugal in 1944 where the Mexican Embassy granted him political asylum in Mexico. En route by ship to Mexico in 1945, he was convinced by a fellow Spaniard on board to join the substantial Spanish community in New York, and he jumped ship. There, he entered the Greenwich Village and East Hampton artist communities that included Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning. He was also a friend of Jack Kerouac, who lived nearby in the East Village.
Sainz's extremely varied body of work reflects experimentation in a number of different genres but he was a member of the New York School of artists. The house in New York City which Sainz owned and worked in, 151 Avenue B, now known as The Charlie Parker Residence, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a New York City Landmark.
