  • Gallery of Mexican Art
    V oices ofMerico /January • March, 1995 41 Gallery of Mexican Art n the early the 1930s, Carolina and Inés Amor decided to give Mexico City an indispensable tool for promoting the fine arts in whatI was, at that time, an unusual way. They created a space where artists not only showed their art, but could also sell directly to people who liked their work. It was a place which gave Mexico City a modem, cosmopolitan air, offering domestic and international collectors the work of Mexico's artistic vanguard. The Gallery of Mexican Art was founded in 1935 by Carolina Amor, who worked for the publicity department at the Palace of Fine Arts before opening the gallery. That job had allowed her to form close ties with the artists of the day and to learn about their needs. In an interview, "Carito" —as she was called by her friends— recalled a statement by the then director of the Palace of Fine Arts, dismissing young artists who did not follow prevailing trends: "Experimental theater is a diversion for a small minority, chamber music a product of the court and easel painting a decoration for the salons of the rich." At that point Carolina felt her work in that institution had come to an end, and she decided to resign. She decided to open a gallery, based on a broader vision, in the basement of her own house, which her father had used as his studio. At that time, the concept of the gallery per se did not exist. The only thing approaching it was Alberto Misrachi's bookstore, which had an The gallery has a beautiful patio.

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.

  • Making Their Mark March 20 I
    Making Their Mark 20 A CELEBRATION OF GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS Who gets to be remembered? Who gets tossed by the wayside? To be honest, and a touch cynical perhaps, much of history often hinges on hindsight, or more accurately, on those narratives that in the current moment seem the most politically and economically viable. The realities of a particular artistic period--who was deemed important, who was making poignant and valuable contributions--are often neglected, forgotten, or at best underplayed by the well-meaning winnowers of history. Case in point: Frida Kahlo was but one of numerous women artists working in Mexico in the 1930s and 1940s, yet she is the most recognized and remembered today. For all her obvious greatness, she was not always the ubiquitous figure she would become after her proliferation in exhibitions and merchandise in the 1980s. Isabel Villaseñor. Self-Portrait, 1929. Woodcut. Photograph of Isabel Villaseñor by Manuel Álvarez Bravo, c. 1935. Among Kahlo's contemporaries were the painters Maria Izquierdo (1902-1955), Remedios Varo (1908-1963), Aurora Reyes Flores (1908- 1985), and Isabel "Chabela" Villaseñor (1909-1953, above left). In fact, in the pivotal exhibition Mexican Arts (1930), which opened at the Metropolitan Museum in New York before traveling to seven other cities around the country, Villaseñor and Maria Izquierdo were the only two women artists to be included. For many Americans the exhibition was their first encounter with Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and others now considered leading figures of the post-revolutionary Mexican Muralist movement. Isabel Villaseñor was born in Guadalajara, and was best known as a pr intmaker, although she also created sculptures and paintings.

  • Family, The, Rufino Tamayo
    Tamayo, Rufino, The Family, Accession # 60.4 North America, Mexico oil on canvas 1936 G-376 Social/Historical Context Mexican writer Octavio Paz describes his country as having an “invisible history”--specifically, the Aztec model of domination, ritualism and human sacrifice, which continues to affect events and attitudes in the present. Mexico is part modern and part ancient, half Indian and half Spanish, Paz says. “Duality is not something added, artificial or exterior: it is our constituent reality.” No Mexican artist has better expressed that reality than Rufino Tamayo. While some of his subjects and his choice of colors were informed by Mexican art and culture, his flattened compositions and abstract forms derive from European modernism. Tamayo was at odds with the politically motivated narrative paintings of the Mexican muralists —Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—whose work was shaped by the 1910 Mexican Revolution, and the continued belief that art should serve revolutionary ideals. Tamayo sought to create a more universal art form based on modernist principles. "I had difficulties with the Muralists, to the point that they accused me of being a traitor to my country for not following their way of thinking," said Mr. Tamayo. "But my only commitment is to painting. That doesn't mean I don't have personal political positions. But those positions aren't reflected in my work. My work is painting." Tamayo said, “my country is tragic. It is tragic because of a long history of foreign domination since the Spaniards. Such circumstances can hardly be expected to produce happiness.

  • Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, the Mexican "Purist"
    Manuel Rodríguez Lozano, the Mexican “Purist”1 Alejandra Ortiz Castañares ABSTRACT Little is known about Mexican painter Manuel Rodríguez Lozano’s stay at An- dré Lhote’s academy, apart from a precious letter that is kept today at Lhote’s archive in Le Raincy, testifying that he and his friend Julio Castellanos un- doubtedly met him. That moment marked a watershed in Lozano’s career and visibly improved his technical skills, which led a few years later to the matura- tion of his distinguishably clean and essential style, underscored at that time by the term of “purism,” that had been obliterated by history. Given that Lozano’s formative development has not been discussed in rela- tion to cubism, this essay sets out to discuss André Lhote’s pedagogy as influ- ential and directional for the Mexican artist in developing a unique style. Introduction Manuel Rodríguez Lozano (1891-1971) can be seen as a symbolic figure of the Mexican modernist counterculture. He denied any of the principles that sustained the muralist movement based on moral, political or educative purposes. He in- stead, vindicated the faith of “Art for art’s sake,” focusing on the fundamental sources of art itself. Lozano always worked in the margin: his cosmopolitanism, his homosexuality and his non-communist affiliation differed from the nationalist, politicised and virile imprint of the post revolution era. Such a choice was seen in that historical, national- istic period not as unconventional but quite the opposite, as purely reactionary. 1 All the texts quoted were originally in Spanish and translated into English by the author.

Alfonso Martí Alfonso Marti, an architect by training, was born in Guadalajara (Mexico) in 1973. From a very young age Alfonso felt attracted to the arts and, years later, he would choose this path: he studied both music and painting in Rome and Paris In France he had an exceptional start to his painting career when the Mayor of Paris inaugurated his first solo show, and pop singer and former Dali muse Amanda Lear became one of his collectors. Nowadays Alfonso lives in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico). His work has been shown in solo and collective exhibitions in Mexico, Miami, Rome and Paris. Through his art Alfonso seeks to reconcile age-old techniques used by classical painters with contemporary visual synthesis, while seeking to erase the line between art and life.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.1954.sup1.2475 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.1954.sup1.2475 Merece a todas luces el lugar de honor de las exposiciones capitalinas del afio de 1953 la Exposicion de Ayte Mesicano, instal ada en el Palacio de Bellas Artes por el Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y en 'la que colaboraron tanto el Insltituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, como el Instituto Nacional Indigenista. La instalaci6n, que ocupa practicamente todas las salas de exhibicion del edificio, es decir, 10 que constituye el Museo Nacional de Artes Plasticas, es excelente no obs­ tante su dificil realizacion, por 10 que merecen una felicitacion todos los encar­ gados de Ilevarla a cabo. En realidad no desmerece esta exposicion respecto a las que fueron presentadas en 1952 en Paris, Estocolmo y Londres; cierto que algunas piezas se suprimieron, mas, en carnbio se ha enriquecido con otras y, adernas, se ha contado con las obras murales de Orozco, Rivera, Siqueiros y Tamayo que com­ pletan la seccion del arte contemporaneo, Alguna seccion resulta un poco exigua, me refiero a la de la pintura del siglo XIX, mas, en verdad, no era posible segura­ mente disponer de mayor espacio, Es de lamentar que no se haya publicado un ca­ talogo detallado de la exposicion cornpleta, pues la guia con que se cuenta no es suficiente para la visita ni para conmernorar tan magno suceso artistico.
