Hilda López

Hilda López was a Uruguayan painter and sculptor. She was best known for her abstract, gestural paintings and drawings from the 1960s, as well as for her political activism following the 1973 Uruguayan coup d'état. López's work first came to public attention in the 1960s after exhibitions in Montevideo and the United States, and she soon became an influential name in Uruguay's Informalism movement. López represented Uruguay in the São Paulo Art Biennial, and her work is part of the collection of the National Museum of Visual Arts in Uruguay.
