Belkis Ayón built a striking visual world from myth, ritual and an almost monochrome palette.

Sometimes removing colour makes every texture and gesture feel stronger.

Abel Rodríguez’s drawings turn botanical knowledge into images of extraordinary detail.

At MALBA, his current exhibition makes the border between art, memory and knowledge feel almost unnecessary.

A Question of Conscience

Are you dead, my guide?
Or have you simply sunk into the muck
that creeps upon these inner corridors,
drowning in helpless demise?

The glass is obscured and the
bright moon has faded into the mist
while I, like a blind hand groping,
stand trembling in this night,

waiting.

October 28, 1988, Curridabat, Costa Rica

"Luis E. Pombo," Guillermo Laborde, c. 1928.

Laborde (1886-1940) was an Uruguayan Modernist painter who was a founder of Planismo, a style of painting popular in Uruguay and other parts of Latin America in the 20s and 30s.

Planismo is a style that emphasizes sharp angular lines, little shading, brilliant colors, and a focus on everyday life and the Uruguayan landscape. Here, in what is regarded as one of the best-ever examples of planismo, he paints a portrait of his friend, the art critic and author Luis Eduardo Pombo (1900-1976).

Planismo wasn't widely accepted at first, but became eagerly accepted as a uniquely Uruguayan style and a source of national identity. I've seen a lot of this in my travels through the art world. Many times artists have developed a style, or subject matter, that they want to make a point of national pride, to make something not only that they can take pride in, but also something uniquely of their country. I sometimes think of this as ripples of the Romantic movement, which could be very nationalistic.

Happy Portrait Monday!

Casi plantas (Almost Plants)
by Xul Solar, Argentina, 1948

"Let us admit, in any case, that among us now – if mostly still hidden – are many or all of the seeds of our future art, and not in museums overseas .... Because the wars of independence for our America are not yet over."

I went to this exhibition of baroque art from Spain and Latin America on Saturday evening.

Just under sixty works from New York's Hispanic Society Museum & Library are on display at the UT-Austin's Blanton Museum.

The Blanton is open until 8:00 PM on Saturday evenings. I wish more museums were able to open after regular working hours.

I enjoyed and learned from the exhibition. although I was disappointed to see that there was no catalogue published especially for the exhibition.

In the thread, I will pick out three pictures that particularly caught my attention.

Sketch (2020)
Flesh and anger. Im trying to be less elaborate sometimes, not everything needs to be a project. Sometimes just letting a feeling and a visual flow out of your hands is more than good enough.

Jesús Guerrero-Galván (1910-1973), El nacimiento de Quetzacoatl, oil on canvas, 49½ x 39½ in. (125.6 x 100.4cm.), sold at auction, Christie’s New York, in 2001 for $52,875. #arthistory #latinamericanart #Art

I came across this painting today while browsing in a catalogue of an exhibition on Latin American art from the colonial era.

I have never seen this iconography of the Christian Trinity before. Apparently it originated in trecento Tuscany, but fell out of favour after its condemnation by the Council of Trent. Nevertheless its use continued in Latin America.

A salutary reminder to Christians of how bizarre their beliefs may seem.

"Alacena," Maria Izquierdo, 1947.

Mexican artist Izquierdo did a series of paintings of shallow cupboards, or alacenas, depicting various household objects, food, knickknacks, and folk art. There's a charming everyday feel here, of things arranged just for fun.

Izquierdo was the first Mexican woman artist to be exhibited in the US and was Mexico's cultural ambassador to other countries. This is one of her final paintings; chronic pain and a stroke in the mid-40s made painting harder and harder. She died from a second stroke in 1955. Although not as well-known as Frida Kahlo, she paved the way for many other Mexican women in the arts.

From the Museo Blaisten, Ciudad de Mexico.

Portrait of Marta. Imaginary portrait of my mother, Marta, as a young woman. Like many Latin Americans, Marta had a very mixed ancestry, including Spanish, Danish, and Black. She was a force of nature, strong and independent. I combined all these elements to depict her at age twenty, with fiercely undulating red hair and wide, bright eyes, ready to conquer and triumph.
