Manuel Felguérez Abstract Prints

b. 1928

Manuel Felguérez was born on December 12, 1928 in Zacatecas. When his father died prematurely in 1935, the family moved the following year - permanently - to the Federal District with the maternal grandparents who owned the then Ideal Theater. Felguérez received his education at the Colegio México from the Marist brothers and was a member of the Scouts of Mexico, where he met Jorge Ibargüengoitia. Later he enrolled in the San Carlos Academy, where he only stayed four months before deserting, tired of the emphasis that was made of the Mexican School of Painting. However, he studied at the National School of Plastic Arts - Academia de San Carlos - of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1948, at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving "La Esmeralda" in 1951, at the Academia de la Grande Chaumier in Paris between 1944 and 1959 and between 1954 and 1955, at the Colarossi Academy in Paris, France thanks to a grant from the French government. These last two are of utmost importance for his training, since it is there that he works with the French sculptor of Russian origin Ossip Zadkine (1949–1950), who, trained in Cubism, will have to become one of the greatest influences for the later work by Manuel Felguérez. Felguérez's style formation and images are closely linked to the various movements in Europe, such as incorporating geometric-constructivist, informalism and abstract expressionism that was exposed in his first formation. He has merged these elements into his own style. His work often contains basic geometric shapes like circles, triangles, rectangles and squares, in combinations to form his own "language". His work has been compared to Picasso and Tamayo by art experts like Teresa del Conde. It affirms many influences, but does not follow any one specifically. Upon his return to Mexico, he was a part of the first generation of national abstract artists, openly confronted with the tradition of the Mexican School of Painting, headed by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco; The Generation of Rupture includes, among others: Vicente Rojo, Fernando García Ponce and Lilia Carrillo, whom he had met with Zadkine, and with whom Felguérez would marry in 1960. Lilia Carillo died in 1974 and later Felguérez married Mercedes Oteyza , ex-wife of Juan García Ponce. His era is characterized as constant experimentation because the artist begins to be distinguished from the craftsman. It is against the neo-nationalism movement in Mexican art. His work gradually changes, instead of leaping from one style to another. His most recent work shows the use of new technologies. His academic career, carried out in parallel to his artistic activity, led him in 1966 to be a visiting professor at Cornell University, United States, and in 1975, guest researcher at Harvard University, as well as to teach the Composition class of the Structure of the Painting in the National School of Plastic Arts. From 1977, he became a researcher at the Institute of Aesthetic Research at UNAM, until his retirement in 1990. He made his first solo exhibition in 1958, at the Antonio Souza Gallery. He was an artist of interdisciplinary activity, walking between painting, murals and sculpture. In 1959, he made a mural for an apartment building located on a street in Mexico and with mosaic and marble material.

"Haarlem" Aquatint Etching on Paper
By Johnny Friedlaender
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold abstract aquatint by Johnny Friedlaender (Polish-French, 1912-1992). Comprised of two main sections, this piece is full of detail and texture. The upper layer is a reddish tan, whereas the bottom layer is a rich brown. Geometrical shapes are arranged such that they almost form mirror images of each other, but vary enough to create interest and a sense of movement. Signed in the lower right corner. Numbered 56/350 in the lower left corner. Includes original certificate of authenticity. Presented in a new cream mat with foamcore backing. Mat size: 42"H x 32"W Paper size: 33.75"H x 24.5"W Johnny Friedlaender was a leading 20th century artist, whose works have been exhibited in Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Japan and the United States. He has been influential upon other notable artists, who were students in his Paris gallery. His preferred medium of aquatint etching is a technically difficult artistic process, of which Friedlaender has been a pioneer. Johnny Gotthard Friedlaender was born in Pless (Silesia) and his early studies were in Breslau under Otto Mueller. In 1936 Friedlaender journeyed to Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Austria, France and Belgium. At the Hague he held a successful exhibition of etchings and watercolours. He fled to Paris in 1937 as a political refugee of the Nazi regime with his young wife, who was an actress. In that year he held an exhibition of his etchings which included the works: L 'Equipe and Matieres et Formes. From 1939 to 1943 he was interned in a series of concentration camps, but survived against poor odds. After freedom in 1944 Friedlaender began a series of twelve etchings entitled Images du Malheur with Sagile as his publisher. In the same year he received a commission to illustrate four books by Freres Tharaud of the French Academy. In 1945 he performed work for several newspapers including Cavalcade and Carrefour. In the year 1947, he produced the work Reves Cosmiques, and in that same year he became a member of the Salon de Mai, which position he held until 1969. In the year 1948 he began a friendship with the painter Nicolas de Stael and held his first exhibition in Copenhagen at Galerie Birch. The following year he showed for the first time in Galerie La Hune in Paris. After living in Paris for 13 years, Friedlaender became a French citizen in 1950. Friedlaender expanded his geographic scope in 1951, and exhibited in Tokyo in a modern art show. In the same year he was a participant in the XI Trienale in Milan, Italy. By 1953 he had produced works for a one-man show at the Museum of Neuchâtel and exhibited at the Galerie Moers in Amsterdam, the II Camino Gallery in Rome, in São Paulo, Brazil and in Paris. He was a participant of the French Italian Art Conference in Turin, Italy that same year. Friedlaender accepted an international art award in 1957, becoming the recipient of the Biennial Kakamura Prize in Tokyo. In 1959 he received a teaching post awarded by UNESCO at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. By 1968, Friedlaender was travelling to Puerto Rico, New York and Washington, D.C. to hold exhibitions. That year he also purchased a home in the Burgundy region of France. 1971 was another year of diverse international travel including shows in Bern, Milan, Paris, Krefeld and again New York. In the latter city he exhibited paintings at the Far Gallery, a venue becoming well known for its patronage of important twentieth century artists. From his atelier in Paris Friedlaender instructed younger artists who themselves went on to become noteworthy, among them Arthur Luiz Piza, Brigitte Coudrain, Rene Carcan...
