#artvideo, «Women Artists of Latin America»

(Cuban-American artist Carmen Herrera, 1915-2022)

This is not a complete list by any stretch of the imagination. These are but a few. I really think that these women, as well as most women artists, need to be recognised fully and as equals of their male counterparts. When we think of Latin American art we usually think of the great artists like Diego Rivera (Mexico) and Wilfredo Lam (Cuba) and the only woman that comes to mind (to most people) is Frida Kahlo. But Frida was not a great artist, at least not in my appreciation, and much less when I compare her with some of these. Besides the idea that it is only Frida has to end and the sooner the better. I would encourage all art bloggers to blog about women artists from anywhere in the world.

    Well done, Francisco. I wish that more men would recognize women as equal rather than tokens that deserve recognition during Women’s History Month in March.

    Great article Francis – It is so wonderful to read this from a male of your expertise and incredible talent in so many medias. Thank you my friend. By the way that last painting with the blue lady I was speechless for a moment. Boy would I like to own that piece. I am sure you would too. Please at least tell us she was somewhat famous? Blessings, Joni

    1. Thank you so much Joni! The last painting is from a very famous Catalan painter who lived in Mexico for many years. She is not as famous as she should be perhaps because she died young…

      2. I love Remedios Varo’s work. She is surreal, but very literary in her paintings and also quite symbolic. I am not sure but I think that her paintings are rather well appraised at this time since she did not really paint many in the short time she had…. Thank you Joni and all the best.
