By Diego Rivera (1886–1957), The Flower Vendor (Girl with Lilies), 1941, oil on masonite, Norton Simon Museum, Gift of Mr. Cary Grant, © Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust, Mexico, D.F. / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. #arthistory #mexicanart #painting #oilpainting

From the museum: “Rivera was among the leading North American artists of the twentieth century, best remembered for the public murals he painted throughout Mexico and the United States. He arrived at his distinctive brand of stylized naturalism after a decade in Paris (1909–1919), where he had befriended such European artists as Picasso and Duchamp and experimented with various avant-garde approaches. Pre-Columbian art of his native country, however, would present the key source for Rivera’s mature style, characterized by emphatic color, simplified forms, and a dramatic tension between flatness and three-dimensional modeling. The figure of the flower vendor formed a recurring theme in Rivera’s work, appearing both in his murals and in easel paintings like this one. The indigenous girl, kneeling before her pile of calla lilies—a flower associated with funerals and death—constitutes an ode at once to the beauty of Mexico’s native cultures and to the suffering of her native peoples.”

From Phyllis Tuchman, Smithsonian Magazine, November 2002: ‘Biographies of the artist, which have been translated into many languages, read like the fantastical novels of Gabriel García Márquez as they trace the story of two painters who could not live with or without each other. (Taymor says she views her film version of Kahlo’s life as a “great, great love story.”) Married twice, divorced once and separated countless times, Kahlo and Rivera had numerous affairs, hobnobbed with Communists, capitalists and literati and managed to create some of the most compelling visual images of the 20th century. Filled with such luminaries as writer André Breton, sculptor Isamu Noguchi, playwright Clare Boothe Luce and exiled Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, Kahlo’s life played out on a phantasmagorical canvas.’

"Portrait of Juan Soriano," Maria Izquierdo, 1939.

Izquierdo (1902-55) was a Mexican painter, the first female Mexican painter to exhibit in the United States. Although often referred to as a Surrealist, she identified herself as one of Los Contemporáneos, a Modernist art movement focused on creating a unique Mexican style incorporating traditional folk art with modern perspectives.

She started by doing still lifes and altar scenes but expanded into portraits. She did get some pushback for not being openly political in her work, but she persisted in focusing on people's inner lives. She was critical of feminism at the time, but was also a vocal supporter of women in the arts and having equal rights in the workplace.

Soriano (1920-2006) was a painter and sculptor, recognized as a major talent since his teens (he was only 18/19 when this was painted). He's best known now for his many monumental sculptures that can be found in Mexico.

"The Fire," David Alfaro Siqueiros, 1939.

Siqueiros (1896-1974) was a Mexican social realist painter, known mostly for his murals.

However, what we have here isn't Social Realism, but an experimental Abstract painting. He was known before then mostly for representational landscapes and portraits, or symbolic-yet-still-realistic political scenes. In his 1939 exhibition at the Matisse Gallery in NYC, he presented art done with new equipment and techniques. This was done with an airbrush, with stencils, in a pyroxylin lacquer now used in such things as nail polish, photography, and magicians' flash paper. He specifically used Duco, an automotive lacquer, for his Matisse show.

As it became shiny and inflexible, it looked cool, but as this was done on paper, it was quite fragile, and now is mounted on a rubber backing.

Siqueiros had an eventful life; an avowed Communist, he fought in the Spanish Civil War, was a muralist for the Obregon government in Mexico, was involved in an attempted assassination of Leon Trotsky, worked in the US and Cuba.....while some say his artistic work was interrupted by his political activity, he viewed them as one and the same.

From the Museo Blaisten, Ciudad de Mexico.

"The Fire," David Alfaro Siqueiros, 1939.

Siqueiros (1896-1974) was a Mexican social realist painter, known mostly for his murals.

However, what we have here isn't Social Realism, but an experimental Abstract painting. He was known before then mostly for representational landscapes and portraits, or symbolic-yet-still-realistic political scenes. In his 1939 exhibition at the Matisse Gallery in NYC, he presented art done with new equipment and techniques. This was done with an airbrush, with stencils, in a pyroxylin lacquer now used in such things as nail polish, photography, and magicians' flash paper. He specifically used Duco, an automotive lacquer, for his Matisse show.

As it became shiny and inflexible, it looked cool, but as this was done on paper, it was quite fragile, and now is mounted on a rubber backing.

Yesterday we had a very promising first meeting with a new museum/cultural center, to explore a possible exhibit on the history of Mexican comics. The place itself is awesome, it showcases the work of various art collectives from the neighborhood. These particular pieces are affectionately called “the museum’s guardians” by the staff. Check the details, they’re made out of cardboard and reclaimed trash.

😱🤩
