JaZzArt en València

Norteamericana, nacida en Galesburg, Illinois en 1910 y murió en 2012 en Nueva York. Se le asocia siempre con los surrealistas y lo fue, pero su estilo vario mucho a través de su larga vida. Estudio solo tres semanas en la Chicago Academy of Fine Art en 1930 y lo demás lo aprendió sola. Fue una gran pintora que nunca ha recibido el reconocimiento que han recibido otros grandes surrealistas, como el que fue su compañero sentimental Max Ernst y Joan Miró.

Por esas injusticias deben haber museos para las mujeres artistas que han sido obviada, o echadas a un lado y solo dado un menor reconocimiento, en la historia del arte.

Born in North America, in Galesburg, Illinois (US) in 1910 and died in New York in 2012. She is associated with the surrealists, which she did paint and exhibit with but her work, throughout her long life, changed into many different directions. She studied for only three weeks at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts in 1930, the rest of her education was self-taught. She was a great painter that has never received the same recognition as the male surrealists, including her romantic partner Max Ernst and Joan Miró.

Because of injustices like these, it is imperative that there be museums for women artists because there are many that have either been ignored or paid little attention throughout art history.

Este corto vídeo fue, en otro momento, para anunciar un artículo acerca de Dorothea Tanning, pero tiene muchos de sus cuadros y algunos datos importantes, así que creo que viene bien. Si queréis mas sobre esta artista, dejádmelo saber en comentarios.

This short video I made for another occasion which has passed but I think it has enough of her work so that you can get a better idea as well as some facts. So if you would like to me to post more about this artist, please let me know in commentaries.

Gracias…

Cheers…

Bueno vamos a ver, ¿Hacen falta museos…en todos los países…para exponer las obras de mujeres artistas?

Venga, creo que si porque, por ejemplo, en el Musée du Louvre, inaugurado en 1793, (creo que eso lo coloca como el primer museo y gracias a que surgieron los museos, empezó a escribirse la historia del arte), hay solo una treintena de mujeres artistas representadas y sus obras no pasan de la media centena…

En el próximo museo, el Prado, inaugurado el 19 de noviembre de 1819, solo encontramos cinto mujeres artistas. Son: Sofonisba Anguissola, Clara Peeters, Angelica Kauffmann, Artemisia Gentileschi y Rosa Bonheur. Solo exponen once pinturas, ¡pero en el Prado hay más de 1.150 cuadros expuestos!

Pues, seguimos, en 1870 abre el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York. Veremos que en el Met (como se le conoce), hay 4.665 artistas representados en la colección y 658 son mujeres.

En el Museo Guggenheim (privado), hay 75 cuadros y 16 de las obras son de mujeres artistas. En el Reina Sofía, el 14% de los cuadros son de mujeres artistas…

Así que podemos ver claramente que sí. Hacen falta museos para mujeres artistas, por supuesto. ¿Habrán? Pues sí, hay uno, uno solo en el mundo entero, y es el National Museum of Women in the Arts localizado en Washington, D.C., EEUU.

Abrió sus puertas en 1987 por Wallace y Wilhelmina Holladay y cuenta con mas de 5.500 obras de unas 1.000 artistas mujeres, que van del S. XVI al presente, incluyendo obras de Mary Cassat, Alma Woodsey Thomas, Elizabeth Louise Vigee-Le-Brun y Amy Sherald y claro, la única obra de Frida Kahlo que existe en Washington, D.C. Curiosamente el museo ocupa un antiguo templo masónico y el edificio está registrado en la lista nacional, de EEUU, de lugares históricos.

Ok let’s see, do we need a museum for women artists? Should there be one in every country to exhibit solely paintings by women?

Yes! Why? Because, for example, at the Musée du Louvre, which was inagurated in 1793, (and I think that makes it the first museum and thanks to the museums Art History was begun to be written), there are only about thirty some paintings by women artists, and no more than about fifty some paintings.

The next museum to open was the Museo del Prado, 19 NOV 1819. Here we only find five women artists represented. They are: Sofonisba Anguissola, Clara Peeters, Angelica Kauffmann, Artemisia Gentileschi y Rosa Bonheur. There are only 11 paintings, while the museum exhibits more than 1,150 paintings!

Continuing on, we find that in 1870 the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened in New York. And in the Met (as it is known) there are 4,665 artists, and 658 are women.

At the Guggenheim Museum (private), there are 75 paintings and 16 are women artists. At the Reina Sofía in Madrid, 14% of the paintings exhibited are by women artists…

Aquí os dejo un corto vídeo de una gran mujer artista del S. XVII que la ignoraron por mucho tiempo, pero veréis que obras hizo…

Here I leave you this short video of a great woman artist from the XVII C. that was ignored for a long, long time, but look at her paintings!

Queridos amigos, hoy quizá no me veréis por estos lares pues hoy viajo a un lugar muy especial para preparar un artículo que creo os va a gustar. Hasta mañana si Dios quiere.

Gracias…

My friends today, Monday, I am travelling to prepare a new travel post coming soon. See you all tomorrow. God bless.

These fine art prints are shown as framed prints, but through this company, which I have used to sell and ship prints of selected works that I have placed in my virtual galleries, are also available as posters, wood prints, metal prints, canvas prints and art prints. These are the images I have made available.

Here at Omnia Caelum Studios we only sell my original works, be they graphite and ink drawings, like the ones shown above, or colourful oil or acrylic paintings. We also ship to just about anywhere, certainly all over Europe, the UK and the US. Collectors and lovers of original art can contact Guloshka, my representative via Instagram (yes, so you can also see the pics of the works that are currently available) @Guloshka or my own, where I post my work, both in progress and finished: @Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera.

And here is a little more;

Cheers…

What could I say if you think me a dreamer,
a laughable fool.
Is it because I once told you I flew in a spaceship
above ancient Egypt,
on top of the pyramids
on top of the sphinx?
I rode in a drone occupied by a poet.
I flew through the winds like a comet,
buzzing the skyscrapers that reach to the moon.

I was a pirate on the Seas of orange blossoms,
marmalade and Irish whiskey,
a general,
an admiral,
a thief,
a troubadour in northern Italy,
a jester in the court of Henry,
the lunatic,
the fraud.

So if you think I am a dreamer,
Immersed in my fantasy,
forgetful of logic,
reason
and science,
in love with wild legends,
with magic,
with wonders,
If you think me like that,
You’d be right,
I’d be wrong,
because you are the sunflower that I see through my window…

This image you see is a canvas print. Here in my virtual galleries at this company who makes prints of selected works that I have chosen. They do it all, from the sale, to the shipping, which I believe they ship all over the world. And they offer a great variety, not just canvas prints, but wood prints, metal prints, art prints, framed prints and posters…

We at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia do not make or sell prints. We sell only my original works, be they illustrations, drawings, or paintings. We also ship from Spain to anywhere in Europe, UK, US and I think just about anywhere. Collectors and lovers of original art can contact my representative via Instagram @Guloshka and in her Instagram you can see all the works that are available for purchase.

Here is a short video, with original music, that shows some of my work…

Cheers…

«Surreal Dreams» is definitely trippy. Here you see the framed version of this print, but through this company you can choose different styles, like wood print, metal print, canvas print, art print or poster, among other items where this image would look smashing good. My galleries are here and I change the images that I have proffered for prints often, so check them out.

While Fine Art America handles my prints, they take care of the sale and the shipping, we at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia sell only my original works. We ship all over Europe, the UK, the US and probably anywhere else. Collectors and lovers of original art, please contact my representative @Guloshka (via Instagram so that you can see the paintings available). You can also see my work…most of it…here @Francisco_Bravo_Cabrera Instagram.

Here is some of my works from days gone by…

Cheers…

You don’t belong where the warm earth makes every step you take a burden…

You have no wings to wipe the cold cemented and mud,

but on the surface of the water you are nimble and it’s no secret that we all have one true home.
