Luis Nishizawa Flores, Muralista, Pintor De Caballete, Dibujante, Ceramista, Vitralista Y Escultor

Luis Nishizawa Flores, muralista, pintor de caballete, dibujante, ceramista, vitralista y escultor. Nació el 2 de febrero de 1918 en Cuautitlán, Estado de México. Sus padres fueron el japonés Kenji Nishizawa y la mexicana María de Jesús Flores. En 1925 se trasladó con su familia a la ciudad de México, donde se dedicó a la joyería y a es- tudiar música con el maestro Rodolfo Halfter, antes de in- gresar, en 1942, a la Academia de San Carlos, donde tuvo como maestros a Julio Castellanos, José Chávez Morado, Alfredo Zalce y Benjamín Coria, entre otros. En 1951 presentó su primera exposición en el Salón de la Plástica Mexicana. En 1992, como un reconocimiento a la vasta creación plástica del pintor, a su legado artístico, al patrimonio cultural nacional que representa, y a su labor docente realizada durante 50 años, el gobierno del Estado de Mé- xico creó el Museo Taller Nishizawa. El artista también fue maestro de varias generaciones en la Universidad Autó- noma de México. Fue merecedor del Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes en 1996; Creador Emérito del Sistema Nacional de Crea- dores de Arte del Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Ar- tes; Maestro Emérito y Doctor Honoris Causa de la UNAM y fue condecorado por el gobierno de Japón con la medalla “Tesoro Sagrado del Dragón”. Además, fue Miembro de Número de la Academia de Artes. En noviembre de 2013, el CONACULTA y el INBA le en- tregaron la Medalla Bellas Artes 2013 “por el desarrollo de un trabajo artístico con un claro impacto en benefi- cio de la promoción y la difusión de las artes plásticas de nuestro país; por el reconocimiento que ha logrado en la comunidad artística, y por su larga y sobresaliente trayec- toria en los ámbitos nacional e internacional”. Algunas de las obras monumentales de Luis Nishizawa se encuentran en la sede de la Secretaría de Educación Pública (La imagen del hombre); en el Centro Cultural Mexiquense (Códice); y en el edificio de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (Justicia), donde creó un mural de aproximadamente 250 metros cuadrados en el cubo de las escaleras del inmueble. Luis Nishizawa Flores falleció el 29 de septiembre de 2014, a los 96 años de edad.

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.

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.

Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E
Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary): Arte Hispano-Americano [Latin American Art], 1000 C.E. to 2017 C.E. A Guide to the Exhibition by Noel Dorsey Vernon A STUDENT EXHIBITION GUIDE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY -- 11/12/17 (NDV) Author's Note This guide supports the art exhibition “Breaching Walls (Real and Imaginary)” held at Skyline Community College in November 2017, celebrating Latino Heritage Month. Many thanks to the administration and faculty of Skyline College for hosting and supporting it. Many thanks also to Arthur Takayama, Lorenzo Hernández and Cristina Hernández for organizing this exhibition. I am indebted to all of them for agreeing that a gallery guide might be of use and permitting me to author it. Thanks also to Professor Carlos Ugalde for taking the time to author "Comments on Art by Professor Carlos Ugalde for Lorenzo Hernández " which is included in this Exhibition Guide. My own background in Mexican and Hispano-American history is far less than was necessary to take on this project, so I spent a lot of time reading, looking at art, listening and asking questions. I had studied the history of Mexico many years ago in Guanajuato, Mexico, although my greatest interest was in Mexico's Pre-Columbian urban heritage. As a professor and Associate Dean of Environmental Design (now a Professor Emerita) in the CSU system, I was able to incorporate some this information into my landscape architecture history courses. I also am aware that much that has been written in English about Mexican art history was written by non-Mexicans. This has resulted in the misunderstanding that Mexican art history has been driven almost entirely by Western European art movements, styles and artists.

Oral History Interview with Marion Greenwood, 1964 Jan. 31
Oral history interview with Marion Greenwood, 1964 Jan. 31 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Marion Greenwood on January 31, 1964. The interview took place in Woodstock, NY, and was conducted by Dorothy Seckler for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DOROTHY SECKLER: The central focus of our interview this evening will be on the period that Miss Greenwood spent in Mexico doing a series of important murals. Marion, I understand that at the time you went to Mexico you were already a professional artist. You had spent some time at Yaddo, you had studied in Paris, you had been out in the West and had drawn and painted American Indians there. How had you become interested in going to Mexico, and what had you intended when you first went to do paintings there? MARION GREENWOOD: I was very aware of the things that were happening at that time in Mexico. I think all of the artists and writers were at that period. DOROTHY SECKLER: Artists were very aware of the murals that were being painted in Mexico, Rivera's and Orozco's. They were being talked about a good bit then, and I suppose it fitted in with the general social ferment in circles here in New York, too. MARION GREENWOOD: Well, that's it. I had a chance to go with two writers that I had met in Yaddo and everybody was talking about, and I had seen, reproductions, and in fact I had seen, Rivera's frescos.

Rolandoarjonaamábilis Pilgrim of Painting
10 MENDOZA.Rolando Arjona Ama?bis:Layout 1 9/7/09 12:40 Page 44 RolandoArjonaAmábilis Pilgrim of Painting Luis Mendoza* rtist Rolando Arjona Amábilis is a great man among his equals. He was born to paint March 21, 1920, in the city of Mérida, Yu- Acatán. When he was barely 11 years old, he already knew that his destiny was to be an artist. His father, Don Manuel Arjona Correa, and his mother, Doña Neri Amábilis Cámara, were able to finance his education until junior high school. After that, he had to fend for himself, which did not prevent him from entering the Fine Arts School founded by General Salvador Alva- rado and later finishing his studies at the Yucatán People’s School of Art. * Curator and deputy director of the Cozumel Island Museum. Note: The names, dates and whereabouts of some paintings illustrating this article are unknown. We include them because of their unquestionable artistic value. 44 10 MENDOZA.Rolando Arjona Ama?bis:Layout 1 9/7/09 12:40 Page 45 Arjona’s art is not artifice.

With firm roots in his homeland, a lover of life and of learning, he has always documented, protected and safe- guarded our traditional roots. Those who admire him call him “the Pilgrim of Painting,” a well earned title backed up by the awards and honors he has been given throughout his career, both in Mexico and abroad.
