  • El Greco, Ribera, and Velázquez in a New Context PRADO and MEADOWS MUSEUM LAUNCH THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP
    The Prado at the Meadows: El Greco, Ribera, and Velázquez in a New Context PRADO AND MEADOWS MUSEUM LAUNCH THREE-YEAR PARTNERSHIP The multifaceted collaboration encompasses the loan of major paintings from the Prado, interdisciplinary research at SMU, an unprecedented internship exchange between the two museums, and a range of public programs. The Meadows is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The Prado and the Meadows will be organizing groundbreaking focused exhibitions around pivotal masterpieces on loan from the Prado that will explore the broader cultural, political, religious, and historical contexts for the works. El Greco’s monumental painting, Pentecost, will be the first of three loans to be presented in Dallas, on display from September 12, 2010 – February 6, 2011. Next year, the Prado will lend the Meadows Jusepe de Ribera’s Mary Magdalene followed by Diego Velázquez’s full length portrait of Philip IV in 2012. The museum will produce a bilingual publication presenting new research across multiple subject areas timed to the installation of each loan, and will organize a series of symposia and educational programming with national and international scholars. In the fall of 2011, the two museums will initiate The Algur H. Meadows/Prado Internships, an annual exchange with one appointment made by each institution. This will be the first curatorial internship ever to be mounted by the Prado with a foreign institution. Sponsored by the Meadows Museum, the internships will provide graduate students with the opportunity to gain professional and international experience, and to work closely with the curatorial staff at each institution.

  • Artdaily Forum Gallery Represents Claudio Bravo
    11/25/2020 Forum Gallery announces representation of the Estate of Claudio Bravo The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Wednesd Forum Gallery announces representation of the Estate of Claudio Bravo Claudio Bravo, Marjana Amarillo / Yellow Marjana, 2008, oil on canvas, 51 1/8 x 63 3/4 inches. Forum Gallery announces representation of the Estate of Claudio Bravo NEW YORK, NY.- Forum Gallery announced representation of the work of Chilean born artist Claudio Bravo (1936-2011). Opening in January 2021, the gallery will present an exhibition of paintings, pastels and drawings by Claudio Bravo, including rarely exhibited works completed towards the end of the Artist's life. In the monograph Claudio Bravo: Painting & Drawing (Rizzoli, 2005), Edward J. Sullivan writes, “While it is certainly true that Bravo has very consciously forged his own path and makes his art with particular attention to the traditions of classicism and academic convention, I always argue that he is, at the same time, a modern painter, and even a radical one. Bravo’s intense dedication to the figure, to his own peculiar view of observed reality and his steadfast disregard of any of the artistic fashions of his time have defined him as an artistic individualist.” Claudio Bravo’s art is best known for hyper-realistic execution, but upon studying his paintings, his gift for economy and nuance reveals a greater interest in evoking an emotional response to his subjects, rather than merely documenting them. https://artdaily.com/news/130476/Forum-Gallery-announces-representation-of-the-Estate-of-Claudio-Bravo#.X76DrM1KhaS 11/25/2020 Born in Valparaiso, Chile in 1936, Claudio had prodigious talent in his early years.

  • JOSE ANTONIO FUENTES - Painting
    JOSE ANTONIO FUENTES - Painting Drawn to art since childhood, Jose Antonio Fuentes began his artistic career at a young age in the 1960s. At nine years old the Spanish-born artist sold drawings to his neighbors and exchanged paintings for gifts with his classmates. An academically gifted student, he ranked higher than his peers and joined older classmates to enter the baccalaureate program at the age of ten. There he completed additional advanced arts courses. In 1970 Fuentes featured in his first group exhibitions in local and provincial cultural centers. Unfortunately, his academic and artistic career was truncated when his father abruptly left his family, leaving the family in financial difficulty. At the age of fourteen, Fuentes was forced to leave school to begin working and support his family. After years of both working and saving money, in 1978 Fuentes garnered enough savings to enroll in school at La Marina in Spain, where he was first in his class. Whenever circumstances allowed he continued to draw and paint, participate in art contests, and visit all nearby museums and artists’ workshops. Fuentes strongly believes that observing other cultures, landscapes, and people is vital to a painter’s understanding of how to portray the world. In the early 1980s Fuentes married and began a family. The domestic and financial obligations to his young family prevented the free time necessary to continue painting. Fuentes notes that the postponement of his artistic career to raise his family is never a source of regret as there is nothing more fulfilling than to see his children grow.

I came to the project with a background as a still-life painter and economist.

  • Catálogo Claudio Bravo
    Julio-agosto de 2011 Corporación Cultural Las Condes El sábado 4 de junio pasado falleció en Marruecos, víctima de un ataque cardíaco, el pintor chileno Claudio Bravo. Había elegido el país africano para vivir y desde allí, en las últimas décadas, su obra –inmensa y universal- se irradió hacia los centros más importantes del mundo. Su repentina muerte no sólo enluta a Chile, sino que representa una lamentable pérdida para las artes globales, puesto que Bravo, desde los años 70, era considerado uno de los pintores latinoamericanos de mayor renombre mun- dial. Nació en Valparaíso, vivió en Santiago y Concepción y muy joven, antes de cumplir los 25 años partió a Europa, buscando oportunidades y proyección para su trabajo. Hace seis años, la Corporación Cultural de Las Condes organizó una exposición con las obras realizadas por el artista cuando aún vivía en Chile, antes de 1961. La muestra, que se constituyo en una de las más vistas de la temporada, nos permitió admirar en directo la maestría de su arte y comprender por qué había alcanzado la fama mundial. Ahora, como una forma de rendirle homenaje y recordarlo, nos ha parecido oportuno re montarla y volver a hacer público su extraordinario talento. Nuevamente se exhiben aquellas obras tempranas, generadas en los tiempos del colegio San Ignacio de Santiago y que evolucio- naron hasta la época de Concepción, última ciudad chilena en que vivió. Estas obras -simples, directas, ingenuas- denotan un virtuosismo inusual para el retrato, un manejo notable de la técnica, tanto en dibujo como en pintura, y dan luces del complejo imaginario que vendría en los años posteriores.

  • Claudio Bravo Claudio Bravo
    1 Claudio Bravo Claudio Bravo Claudio Bravo nació en Valparaíso, Chile el 8 de noviembre de 1936 y falleció el 4 de junio de 2011 en Taroudant, Marruecos. Biografía Claudio Bravo Camus, pintor. Nació en Valparaíso, el 8 de noviembre de 1936, falleció el 4 de junio de 2011 en Taroudant, Marruecos. De familia de agricultores, vivió gran parte de su infancia en la zona rural de Melipilla. Comenzó a dibujar a los once años mostrando una clara vocación por las expresiones artísticas. Aunque su afición no fue apoyada en un principio por sus más cercanos, logró tomar clases en el taller de Miguel Venegas Cifuentes , con quien estudió dibujo y pintura. Además escribió poesía, bailó profesionalmente en la Compañía Ballet de Chile y trabajó en el Teatro de Ensayo de la Universidad Católica. A principios de la década de los sesenta, vivió en Concepción donde se hizo un nombre como retratista. Luego de exhibir sus obras en la Universidad de Concepción y buscando perfeccionarse en su técnica, viajó a Europa en 1961. Cautivado por la escuela realista clásica de los grandes maestros, decidió radicarse en Madrid, España, donde adquirió fama como retratista de la alta nobleza y la aristocracia europea. A mediados de la década, los retratos dieron paso a sorprendentes naturalezas muertas. Objetos cotidianos de la vida moderna y otros aparentemente sencillos, como piedras y envoltorios, deslumbraban al espectador al ser llevados a la tela con minucioso realismo. El artista había llevado su técnica a los límites de la perfección. En 1972 se radicó en Tánger, Marruecos. En ese mismo año participó en la Documenta 5 de Kassel, en una época en que se imponía con fuerza la tendencia hiperrealista liderada por Robert Bechtle y John Kacere.

  • Christie's Latin American Sale Offers Master Works By
    For Immediate Release October 26, 2009 Contact: Milena Sales tel. + 1 212 636 2680 [email protected] CHRISTIE’S LATIN AMERICAN SALE OFFERS MASTER WORKS BY BOTERO, BRAVO, LAM, MATTA, AND TAMAYO New York - On November 17 and 18, Christie's will offer an exceptional selection of works by leading artists representing 15 countries in its Latin American Sale. Rich in offerings from private collections, the two-day auction offers works by leading Latin American artists such as Fernando Botero, Claudio Bravo, Joaquín Torres-García, Wifredo Lam, Matta, and Rufino Tamayo, among others. Featuring over 250 works, the sale is expected to realize in excess of $15 million. Fernando Botero is well represented in the sale with major examples of the breadth and scope of his best artistic output. Exceptional works on paper, sculptures and paintings from the great Colombian master will be offered in both the Evening and Day sales. Leading the Evening Sale selection is Botero’s Mujer fumando (pictured above, estimate: $800,000-1,200,000), a glorious, monumental bronze in which the artist plays out the exquisite contradiction between the hard bronze and the softness of his subject. An iconic example of one of the artist’s most beloved themes, Mujer fumando depicts a sumptuous reclining nude; the embodiment of Botero’s own interpretation of the feminine ideal. Botero’s The Patio , (estimate: $500,000-700,000), from 2000 is a vibrant and striking painting with references to Latin American domestic life, architecture and nature. Also by the artist is an exquisite and rare work on paper, Mother and Child , 1990, (pictured right, estimate: $450,000-650,000), which graces the sale’s catalogue cover.
