    Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.

  • La Pintura Mural Mexicana
    La pintura mural mexicana En las culturas prehispánicas mesoamericanas se realizaron extraordinarias pinturas murales como las de Cacaxtla en Tlaxcala y las mayas de Bonompak (en México), que conmemoran pasajes bélicos, junto a sus protagonistas, exquisitamente ataviados. En el siglo XX, la resurrección de la pintura mural se debió principalmente a tres artistas mexicanos: Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco y David Alfaro Siqueiros, quienes, desde 1920, trabajaron en distintas ciudades de la República Mexicana, de Estados Unidos y en algunos países de América Latina. Diego Rivera es el iniciador de la escuela mexicana de pintura mural, en la que destacan como grandes figuras José Clemente Orozco y David Alfaro Siqueiros. La intención era llevar a través; de la pintura, la enseñanza de la Historia de México, con sus hechos y personajes. Su obra la constituyen composiciones de vivos colores, que conmemoran la rebelión del pueblo contra los sistemas opresivos, la formación del mestizaje por la unión entre indígenas americanos y españoles, el pasado histórico y la proyección al futuro, la naturaleza humana con sus contradicciones, y, en síntesis, la búsqueda de la esencia humana y su trascendencia hacia la divinidad, todo ello dentro de un marco de monumentalidad. La pintura mural es uno de los aspectos más destacados del arte mexicano del siglo XX, además de una manifestación única en la época en que se produce. Muchos muralistas mexicanos han usado su arte para promocionar ideas políticas. De esta forma se decoraron edificios gubernamentales, bibliotecas, hospitales y escuelas en México y en otros países.

  • Sonja Sekula's Time May Have Finally Come
    PETER BLUM GALLERY Sonja Sekula’s Time May Have Finally Come Sekula was part of a number of different overlapping scenes, and she was loved and thought highly of by many. And then nearly everything about her and her work got forgotten. GALLERIES | WEEKEND By John Yau Saturday April 29, 2017 Sonja Sekula (1918-1963) piqued my curiosity when I first saw some of her works just a few months ago. Still, I was not sure what to expect when I went to the current exhibition Sonja Sekula: A Survey at Peter Blum Gallery (April 21 – June 24, 2017). I had known that this troubled, Swiss-born artist was part of an international circle of artists, writers, choreographers, and composers in New York in the 1940s, when she was in her early twenties, and that since her death by suicide in 1963, she and her work have largely been effaced from history. But aside from a few biographical facts and the handful of works I saw, I knew little else, but it was more than enough to bring me back. Ethnique, (1961), gouache on paper, 20 1/8 x 20 1/8 inches (all images courtesy Peter Blum At one point, while circling the Gallery, New York) galleries two space for the second or third time, I stopped to peer into a vitrine and saw photographs of a young woman sitting in the apartment of Andre Breton when he lived in New York during World War II.

Includes extensive files of negatives from throughout her career. A small amount of biographical materials, clippings, and publications (1901-1994) are included. The collection has been fully processed. A complete inventory is available. Quantity/ Extent 32 linear feet Language of Materials Spanish English Biographical Note Lola Álvarez Bravo was born Dolores Martínez de Anda in 1903 in Lagos de Moreno, a small city in Jalisco on Mexico's Pacific coast. She moved to Mexico City as a young child, after her mother left the family under mysterious circumstances. Her father died when she was a young teenager, and she was then sent to live with the family of her half brother. It was here that she met the young Manuel Alvarez Bravo, a neighbor. They married in 1925 and moved to Oaxaca where Manuel was an accountant for the federal government. Manuel had taken up photography as an adolescent; he taught Lola and they took pictures together in Oaxaca. Manuel also taught Lola how to develop film and make prints in the darkroom.

  • Historia De Mujeres Artistas En México Del Siglo Xx
    Mónica Castillo, Autorretrato como cualquiera, 1996 – 1997, óleo sobre tela, 80 x 70 cm HISTORIA DE MUJERES ARTISTAS EN MÉXICO DEL SIGLO XX ÍNDICE Presentación 3 Contexto La mujer en la historia 4 Presencia femenina en el arte 5 Ejes temáticos 7 Mujeres artistas en México. (fragmentos) 12 Una constelación de implacables buscadoras Germaine Gómez Haro Punto de Fuga (fragmentos) 16 Pura López Colomé Artistas 20 Glosario 39 Links 40 Departamento de Educación 2 PRESENTACIÓN El reconocimiento de la presencia de mujeres artistas en la historia del arte ha permitido que los contenidos, los modos de interpretación y las categorías de análisis se transformen, se especifiquen, y al mismo tiempo, se expandan: las reflexiones teóricas y prácticas se han diversificado cada vez más, desde los temas y conceptos hasta los medios por los que se expresan los artistas; permitiendo, así, las relecturas y re-significados de las obras. Historia de mujeres es una exposición que reconoce la colaboración de las mujeres artistas mexicanas, quienes aportaron con sus particulares puntos de vista a la historia del arte nacional e internacional. Así, la exposición muestra tres generaciones de creadoras a lo largo del siglo XX: La primera generación son las artistas nacidas a principios del siglo que se distinguieron por un trabajo de gran calidad técnica, como Angelina Beloff, Tina Modotti, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, etc. La segunda generación incluye a las que nacieron alrededor de los años 20 y 30, como Lilia Carrillo, Joy Laville, Helen Escobedo, Marta Palau y Ángela Gurría; ellas iniciaron una etapa de experimentación en las nuevas tendencias.

  • A Promenade Trough the Visual Arts in Carlos Monsivais Collection
    A Promenade Trough the Visual Arts in Carlos Monsivais Collection So many books have been written, all over the world and throughout all ages about collecting, and every time one has access to a collection, all the alarms go off and emotions rise up, a new and different emotion this time. And if one is granted access to it, the pleasure has no comparison: with every work one starts to understand the collector’s interests, their train of thought, their affections and their tastes. When that collector is Carlos Monsiváis, who collected a little bit of everything (that is not right, actually it was a lot of everything), and thanks to work done over the years by the Museo del Estanquillo, we are now very aware of what he was interested in terms of visual art in the 20th Century (specially in painting, illustration, engraving, photography). It is only natural that some of the pieces here —not many— have been seen elsewhere, in other exhibitions, when they were part of the main theme; this time, however, it is a different setting: we are just taking a stroll… cruising around to appreciate their artistic qualities, with no specific theme. This days it is unusual, given that we are so used to looking for an overarching “theme” in every exhibition. It is not the case here. Here we are invited to partake, along with Carlos, in the pleasures of color, texture, styles and artistic schools. We’ll find landscapes, portraits, dance scenes, streetscapes, playful scenes. All executed in the most diverse techniques and styles by the foremost mexican artist of the 20th Century, and some of the 21st as well.
