  • Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill
    Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill The history of abstraction in Latin America is dense and multilayered; its beginnings can be traced back to Emilio Pettoruti’s (Argentina, 1892–1971) early abstract works, which were in- spired by Futurism and produced in Italy during the second decade of the 20th century. Nev- ertheless, the two more widely recognized pioneers of abstraction are Joaquín Torres-García (Uruguay, 1874–1949) and Juan del Prete (Italy/Argentina, 1897–1987), and more recently Esteban Lisa (Spain/Argentina 1895–1983) for their abstract work in the 1930s. Modern abstract art in Latin America has been circumscribed between the early 1930s to the late 1970s in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela, and in more recent years Colombia, Cuba and Mexico have also been incorporated into the historiography of abstraction. Fur- thermore, it is only recently that interest in exploring beyond geometric abstraction, to in- clude Informalist tendencies is beginning to emerge. Abstract art in Latin America developed through painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, printing techniques and photography, and it is characterized by its experimentalism, plurality, the challenging of canonical ideas re- lated to art, and particular ways of dialoguing, coexisting in tension or participation within the complex process of modernity—and modernization—in the context of the political regimes of the time. Certain complex and often contradictory forms of utopianism were pervasive in some of these abstract movements that have led to the creation of exhibitions with titles such as Geometry of Hope (The Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, 2007) or Inverted Utopias: Avant Garde Art in Latin America (The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2004).

Largely unknown to mainstream U.S. audiences, Gego is considered by many scholars to be one of the most innovative artists of the second half of the 20th century. Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the exhibition traces the development of the artist’s concern with trans- parent depth, featuring a rarely seen series of monotypes of the early 1950s, delicate “drawings without paper” of the late 1970s - 1980s, and an example from one of her most celebrated and representative series: the Reticulárea. Gego, Between Transparency and the Invisible is curated by Mari Carmen Ramírez, Wortham Curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Juxtaposing important artworks produced from the mid- 1950s to the late 1980s and bringing two bodies of Gego's work into dialogue for the first time, Gego, Between Transparency and the Invisible will foreground the critical role that drawing played in the artist's oeuvre. On view will be nearly 60 artworks which include ink drawings, three-dimensional structures, watercolors, artist books, and tejeduras.

    Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt) b. 1912, Hamburg, Germany; d. 1994, Caracas Reticulárea, 1969–70 Iron wire Collection of Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Trained as an architect, Gego’s grid and net-like constructions actively engage the viewer and the spaces in which they are placed. Challenging sculpture’s traditional emphasis on volume, mass, and scale, she created open, environmental works through her particular use of line. In Reticulárea, lengths of iron wire are hinged together to construct interlocking, triangular shapes. These repeated forms create a play between negative and positive space. The shadows they create on the wall are an integral part of the piece, creating a dichotomy between the stability of the sculptural elements and the instability of the shadows, which are dependent on the specific qualities of the light in the gallery. The simple geometry of this work gives it a rational, mathematical character while its cascading composition recalls irregular forms found in nature. Gego worked actively as an artist starting in the 1960s during an economic boom in Venezuela driven by the high prices of the country’s oil. Modernist architecture, design, and art were promoted by the government as part of a rapid urban development. Geometric Abstraction and Kinetic Art found strong support throughout the next three decades through the sponsorship of large-scale public projects involving Gego’s peers, artists such as Jesús Rafael Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez. While Gego participated in these activities and produced several public works, she sought a more intimate engagement with her practice, emphasizing its relationship to the organic, the handmade, and the scale of the human body.
