  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Exhibition Backgrounder
    ^ Exhibition Backgrounder Exhibition: Rufino Tamayo: Innovation and Experimentation On View: December 21, 2019–July 11, 2020 | Saturdays, 1–4 pm Location: Charles White Elementary School | 2401 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90057 Image captions on page 3 The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Rufino Tamayo: Innovation and Experimentation. Rufino Tamayo (1899–1991) was a leading Mexican artist of the 20th century who achieved international acclaim. Though he was known primarily for his paintings and murals, he also created a robust body of works on paper, which provided an important avenue for formal and technical innovation. Drawn exclusively from LACMA’s holdings, the exhibition highlights Tamayo’s engagement with printmaking and also includes a selection of Mesoamerican sculpture (an important source of inspiration for the artist) from the museum’s collection. Spanning over 60 years of his prolific career, Rufino Tamayo: Innovation and Experimentation focuses on Tamayo’s longstanding interest in prints as a means of exploring new techniques and furthering experimentation. On view December 21, 2019–July 11, 2020, the exhibition is presented at LACMA’s art gallery at Charles White Elementary School. The exhibition is curated by Rachel Kaplan, LACMA’s assistant curator of Latin American art. As part of the exhibition, Los Angeles-based artist Raul Baltazar will be working with the Charles White Elementary School students on a collaborative art installation inspired by Tamayo’s artwork. The installation will be a work in progress through the end of the 2019–20 school year. Baltazar is an alumnus of Otis College of Art and Design, formerly located at what is now Charles White Elementary School.

Mexico and the People: Revolutionary Printmaking and the Taller De Gráfica Popular Description During its most turbulent and formative years of the twentieth century, Mexico witnessed decades of political frustration, a major revolution, and two World Wars. By the late 1900s, it emerged as a modernized nation, thrust into an ever-growing global sphere. The revolutionary voices of Mexico’s people that echoed through time took root in the arts and emerged as a collective force to bring about a new self- awareness and change for their nation. Mexico’s most distinguished artists set out to challenge an overpowered government, propagate social-political advancement, and reimagine a stronger, unified national identity. Following in the footsteps of political printmaker José Guadalupe Posada and the work of the Stridentist Movement, artists Leopoldo Méndez and Pablo O’Higgins were among the founders who established two major art collectives in the 1930s: Liga de Escritores y Artistas Revolucionarios (LEAR) and El Taller de Gráfica opularP (TGP).

  • 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.
