Female Sensitiveness
Hidden behind a thick and untare veil of disdain, the female artists have passing through , in silence, long centuries of the Art History. As an example of today reknown artists, because of their vindicated work began of cultural patterns current in our time, are Artemisia Gentileschi in the XVII century, and Camille Claudel in the XIX century.
In its short history of almost 200 years, the Argentinean Art also replied and claimed in its first steps this female postponement. Who, out of the narrow environment of a few specialists, remember today the names of Sor Josefa Díaz and Clusellas, Julia Wernicke, Sofía Posadas, or María Obligado de Calvo and Soto? And these are some of the few women that, with the central theme in the splendour of the Centenary, placed the Art in the north of their lives. The war was long and tough, but not sterile.
Part of the best paints are today here, in this exhibition that Estudio Garrido Abogados with its Paideia Collection offers in the closing of 2011 of the Gallery Nights; paints of a dozen Argentinean women or foreigner women that reside in this country, some of them missing, and others in the full and fruitful production.
The French Leonie Matthis chose our country to live with her family, and assumed the history of her new country as an inspiration of her gouaches. From Viena came Mariette Lydis, with her splendid draws dedicated to children and to religious themes, meanwhile, Margarita Hahn Vidal arrived from Hamburg with a flower background.
Here were waiting for them Norah Borges, illustrator of the first poems of her brother Jorge Luis, and maker of a subtle gallery of figures, and Raquel Forner, that behind representing the war atrocities, she inclined to recreate the new worlds that the exploration of the space proposed her.
The sailing themes attracted Lucía Boero, meanwhile the enfant world was the central issue to the paints of Nelly Alvarez and Lidia Capusotto.
The city, its antiques neighborhoods, the old mansions served as models to the water colors of Lola Frexas and the gouaches of Susana Aguirre.
The contemporary artists are represented by the almost metaphysical landscapes of Marcela Rettig, the rural views of Nidia Petrina and the flower theme that, with precise brushstroke and enough understanding about it, composes Sonia Decker.
Happily freed from long ago fights, these and other artists have approached, with female tenderness, and with the same professional solvency, their rich paths in the Art world.
