  • 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.

    GUERRERO OLAVARRIETA, Ana Paula (2017). «Angelina Beloff como misionera cultural: una revalorización de su arte». Monograma. Revista Iberoamericana de Cultura y Pensamiento, n. 1, pp. 177-193. URL: http://revistamonograma.com/index.php/mngrm/article/view/12 FECHA DE RECEPCIÓN: 17/10/2017 · FECHA DE ACEPTACIÓN: 7/11/2017 ISSN: 2603-5839 Angelina Beloff como misionera cultural: una revalorización de su arte Ana Paula GUERRERO OLAVARRIETA Universidad Iberoamericana, Ciudad de México [email protected] Resumen: ¿Por qué estudiar a Angelina Beloff? ¿Qué relación tiene con el contexto mexicano? Los estudios que hay acerca de Angelina Beloff se han centrado bajo la sombra de Diego Rivera, con quien tuvo una relación de diez años. Por consiguiente, la investigación está encaminada a tener un acercamiento más crítico a su obra y a su desempeño laboral en Europa y en México del siglo XX. La presente investigación busca rescatar a Beloff dentro del contexto de los artistas mexicanos de la época. Sin hacer un recuento biográfico, toma como referencia diversos textos que la mencionan, para sustentar y debatir junto con los que han excluido la figura de Beloff dentro de la historiografía mexicana. Asimismo explica por qué es relevante estudiar a esta artista extranjera que decidió vivir en nuestro país junto con otras figuras del medio artístico contemporáneo. Palabras clave: Angelina Beloff, extranjera, arte mexicano, exclusión, historiografía. Abstract: Why study Angelina Beloff? What relationship does she has with the Mexican context? Studies about Angelina Beloff have been centered under Diego Rivera's shadow, with whom she had a relationship for ten years. Therefore, the investigation is driven to have a more critical close up to her art work and her job performance in Europe and Mexico during the Twentieth Century.

She learned photography as an assistant and had her first solo exhibition in 1944 at Mexico City’s Palace of Fine Arts. She described the camera as a way to show “the life I found before me.” Álvarez Bravo was engaged in the Mexican surrealist movement, documenting the lives of many fellow artists in her work. Jean Arp JON ARP (J as in mirage) Jean Arp (also known as Hans Arp), was a German-French sculp- tor, painter, and writer best known for his paper cut-outs and his abstract sculptures. Arp also created many collages. He worked, like other surrealists, with chance and intuition to create art instead of using reason and logic, later becoming a member of the “Abstraction-Création” art movement. 3 André Breton ahn-DRAY bruh-TAWN A founder of surrealism, avant-garde writer and artist André Breton originally trained to be a doctor, serving in the French army’s neuropsychiatric center during World War I.

Informe presentado por el Consejo Directivo Nacional de la Sociedad Mexicana de Autores de las Artes Plásticas, Sociedad De Gestión Colectiva De Interés Público, correspondiente al segundo semestre del 2013 y lo correspondiente al año 2014 ante la Asamblea General de Socios. Nuestra Sociedad de Gestión ha tenido varios resultados importantes y destacables con ello hemos demostrado que a pesar de las problemáticas presentadas en nuestro país se puede tener una Sociedad de Gestión como la nuestra. Sociedades homologas como Arte Gestión de Ecuador quienes han recurrido al cierre de la misma por situaciones económicas habla de la crisis vivida en nuestros días en Latinoamérica. Casos como Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras en especial Centro América, son a lo referido, donde les son imposibles abrir una representación como Somaap para representar a sus autores plásticos, ante esto damos las gracias a todos quienes han hecho posible la creación y existencia de nuestra Sociedad Autoral y a quienes la han presidido en el pasado enriqueciéndola y dándoles el impulso para que siga existiendo. Es destacable mencionar los logros obtenidos en las diferentes administraciones donde cada una han tenido sus dificultades y sus aciertos, algunas más o menos que otras pero a todas les debemos la razón de que estemos en estos momentos y sobre una estructura solida para afrontar los embates, dando como resultado la seguridad de la permanencia por algunos años más de nuestra querida Somaap. Por ello, es importante seguir trabajando en conjunto para lograr la consolidación de la misma y poder pensar en la Somaap por muchas décadas en nuestro país, como lo ha sido en otras Sociedades de Gestión.

  • Frida Kahlo - Connections Between Surrealist Women in Mexico 27Th September to 10Th January
    Frida Kahlo - connections between surrealist women in Mexico 27th september to 10th january Curated by researcher Teresa Arcq, Frida Kahlo: connections between surrealist women in Mexico exhibition, with some 100 works by 16 artists, reveals how an intricate network with numerous characters was set up around the figure of Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907, Coyoacán, Mexico - July 13, 1954, Coyoacán, Mexico). This extract focuses especially women artists born or living in Mexico, acting as the protagonists - alongside Kahlo – of powerful productions, such as Maria Izquierdo, Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington. Throughout her life, Frida Kahlo painted only 143 screens. In this exhibition, rare and unique in Brazil, about 20 of them have been put together, in addition to 13 works on paper – nine drawings, two collages and two lithographs -, providing the Brazilian public with a broad overview of her plastic thinking. Her strong presence further pervades the exhibition through the works of other participating artists who depicted her iconic figure. Through photography, the works of Lola Álvarez Bravo, Lucienne Bloch and Kati Horna are to be highlighted. Images of Frida are also impregnated on the lenses of Nickolas Muray, Bernard Silberstein, Hector Garcia, Martim Munkácsi and a lithograph by Diego Rivera, Naked (Frida Kahlo), 1930. Among Mexican women artists related to Surrealism, the abundance of symbolic self- portraits and portraits come out as a surprise. Out of the 20 paintings by Frida in this exhibition, six are self-portraits. There are two more of her paintings that bring her presence, as in El abrazo de amor del Universo, la terra (Mexico), Diego, yo y el senõr Xóloti, 1933, and Diego em mi Pensamiento, 1943, plus a lithograph, Frida y el aborto, 1932.
