  2. Your art history post for today: by Olga Costa (1913-1993), The Fruit Seller (La vendedora de frutas), 1951, Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City. #WomensHistoryMonth #womenartists #womanartist #mexicanartist #mexicanartists

    From Inverarte Art Gallery: ‘Born as Olga Kostakowsky in Leipzig, Germany, on August 28, 1913, Olga Costa arrived in Mexico in 1925, when she was just twelve years old. Her family, of Jewish-Russian origin, was seeking a place to rebuild their lives, far from the growing winds of intolerance sweeping across Europe. Mexico, with its light, colors, and traditions, offered young Olga a fertile ground where she could plant her roots and nurture her art.

    Her European childhood became a distant memory. It was in Mexico where she truly came of age, not only as a person but also as an artist, eventually changing her name to Olga Costa. The vibrancy of the markets, the popular life, the pre-Hispanic art, and traditional crafts all captured her imagination with a force that never left her…

    Costa dedicated herself to building a body of work marked by profound originality. Her paintings are notable for their exaltation of color, formal synthesis, and a loving gaze toward Mexican popular life. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Costa was not drawn to grand political themes or heroic tales of the Revolution. Her universe was different: that of flowers, fruits, anonymous women, and domestic altars. Her first solo exhibition took place at the Galería de Arte Mexicano in 1945. Her most celebrated painting, La vendedora de frutas (1951), considered an icon of modern Mexican art, was commissioned by the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature (INBAL) for the exhibition “Art mexicain du précolombien à nos jours” at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, and is now part of the collection of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City.’

  7. Your art history post for today, a work in the collection of the Henry Ransom Center on the University of Texas at Austin campus: by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), Untitled [Self-portrait with thorn necklace and hummingbird], 1940, oil on canvas mounted to board, © 2020 Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust. #ArtHistory #mexicoart #womanartist #womenartists #painting #oilpainting #mexicanart #mexicanartist

    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.’
