She moved to Mexico City as a young child, after her mother left the family under mysterious circumstances. Her father died when she was a young teenager, and she was then sent to live with the family of her half brother. It was here that she met the young Manuel Alvarez Bravo, a neighbor.

  • Daniel Garza Usabiaga 2011 Arara – No.10, 2011 1
    © Daniel Garza Usabiaga 2011 André Breton, Surrealism and Mexico, 1938-1970. A Critical Overview. Daniel Garza Usabiaga Discussions about the relation between Surrealism and Mexico are numerous. Most of them, nevertheless, have been centered on a limited time span that starts with André Breton’s visit to the country in 1938 and continues with the experience of several surrealists in exile during the Second World War. 1 There are also instances which examine specific cases such as Antonin Artaud’s travel in 1936, the production of Wolfgang Paalen during his years in Mexico or Georges Bataille’s conceptualizations on Pre-Columbian cultures. 2 Fewer attempts exist that try to evaluate the impact of Breton’s visit and of the International Exhibition of Surrealism of 1940 in the local cultural context. 3 What all these varied perspectives attest to is, in the end, the complex and many faceted set of relations that exist between Surrealism and Mexico. This paper will revise the relation between André Breton, Surrealism and Mexico within a broader time span than is usually employed when discussing this theme (1930-1970). The reason for this is twofold. First, a reading of Breton’s 1938 visit 1 Most publications on the history of Surrealism when discussing Mexico and Surrealism are limited to this temporal frame. A publication that makes a more detailed analysis of this theme is Martica Sawin, Surrealism in Exile and the Beginning of the New York School. Cambridge: MIT Press, 1995, pp. 250-287 2 The most comprehensive publication which deals with Surrealism in Mexico from the reception of the first Manifesto to 1950, including Artaud’s and Breton’s visit as well as the activities of Breton and Paalen in the country, is Luis Mario Schneider’s book México y el surrealismo (1925- 1950) .

  • 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.

After reminding us that: ‘Platon n’accorde pas droit de cité au pokte,” Blaise Cendrars, in a 1914 poem about the poet’s position in life, leaves ‘woman’llafemme’ suspended in mid-text, traversed by a long reference to the Nietzschean dauce: La femme, la danse que Nietzsche a voulu nous apprendre à danser La femme Mais l’ironie?

  • Margarita Nelken
    Capítulo I: DATOS BIOGRÁFICOS 1. INFANCIA Y JUVENTUD. Margarita Nelken nació en el seno de una familia judía radicada en Ma- drid, aunque de origen extranjero, en parte centroeuropeo y en parte franco- sefardí. Son pocos los datos que conocemos de sus ascendientes paternos. Su pa- dre, el joyero Julio Nelken Waldberg, nació el 11 de agosto de 1860 en Bres- lau, capital de la Baja Silesia, en el suroeste de Polonia, a la sazón pertenecien- te al Imperio Alemán. Era hijo de Michel Nelken (nacido en Kalish, Polonia, y fallecido en Berlín, antes de 1894) y de Pauline Waldberg (oriunda de Lem- berg, Ucrania, y que moriría en Berlín, en 1918). A tenor de sus declaraciones en el padrón madrileño, Julio Nelken debió de llegar a la Villa y Corte entre los años 1886 y 188818. Por entonces, la rama materna llevaba algunos años instalada en la capital de España. Su madre, Juana Mansberger y León, era hija de un relojero nacido en Hungría, Enrique Mansberger Klein (Szegedin, 27 de mayo de 1837- Madrid, 1909), y de Ángela León y León (Bayona, 9 de febrero de 1852- Madrid, 1925), francesa proveniente de una familia sefardí de Bayona. Al tiempo de nacer Juana Mansberger en Anglet, el 13 de octubre de 1873, sus padres residían ya en Madrid, desde 1866 y 1871-2, respectivamente19. Enrique Mansberger trabajaba como relojero de Palacio desde el reinado de Alfonso XII. Y parece ser que, al llegar Julio Nelken a Madrid, ambos se asociaron en un negocio de joyería y relojería, situado en el número 15 de la Puerta del Sol, en cuya entreplanta residía la familia Mansberger.

  • Paalen in Exile in Mexico
    Seite 1 Reihe: Wolfgang Paalen Autor: Christian Kloyber Datum: 2019 Paalen in Exile in Mexico Christian Kloyber May 1942 marked the publication of the first issue of DYN, the art and culture magazine founded by Wolfgang Paalen. This coincided, not unintentionally, with Mexico’s entry into the Second World War; as a leitmotif, Paalen contributed the following remarks to its preface: “All totalitarian tyrannies banished modern art. They are right. For as a vital stimulus to imagination, modern art is an invaluable weapon in the struggle for freedom.”i After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor (on December 6 and 7, 1941) and the USA’s declaration of war on Japan, Germany, and Italy, Mexico abandoned its neutrality and entered the conflict in May 1942. From 1939, the year of his arrival in Mexico, Wolfgang Paalen’s view of the world had changed. The external political circumstances of the war were not the only factor to contribute to this. His personal relationships and the understanding previously shared with his Surrealist fellow travelers appeared to break down, or rather, were broken by Paalen himself. He wrote: “In the darkest hour of the night, prudent friends counsel, if not howling with the wolves, contorting the face into a grimace, as if preparing to do so. The moment has not yet come, they say. On the contrary! This special moment has arrived, but not for howling with the wolves; now is the time for doing what is right and necessary.”ii With that, Paalen consciously withdrew and, from his exile in Mexico, he searched for new contacts.
