About the Item
Three Women Carrying Bundles by Francisco Narvaez, Ink on Paper
This is a mid-20th century ink drawing signed by Narváez. The artwork depicts three figures, possibly women or children, carrying bundles of sticks or reeds. Executed in a modernist style, the artist uses bold black lines and simplified forms to convey a sense of movement and labor. The neutral background emphasizes the figures and their burdens. The piece is framed in a classic, high quality gilt frame with an off-white mat.
This remarkable 20th- century painter and sculptor Francisco Narvaez was born in Porlamar, state of Nueva Esparta, on October 4th, 1905. He passed away in Caracas on July 7th, 1982. According to some historians of Venezuelan art, Narváez’s work radically transformed the way sculpture is viewed in this country.
He was the son of José Lorenzo Narváez, cabinetmaker and master builder, and Vicenta Emilia Rivera, native of Porlamar. In 1934, he was commissioned the construction of the fountain at Carabobo Park in Caracas; between 1937 and 1939, recommended by architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva, he carried out several reliefs for the façades of the Museums of Fine Arts and Natural Sciences of Caracas. In 1939 he traveled to New York to work in the decoration of the Venezuelan Pavilion for the World Fair in that city. In 1943, he carried out one of his most emblematic works: Las Toninas; a fountain located in the O’Leary Square in the recently built urban complex of El Silencio. In 1948, he was granted the National Prize for Painting at the 9th Venezuelan Official Art Salon. Between 1949 and 1952 he carried out several works for the Ciudad Universitaria of Caracas, including the frescoes for the chapel of the university.
In 1979 he represented Venezuela along with Héctor Poleo in the 2nd International Meeting of Contemporary Art at the Grand Palais in Paris. The same year was the inauguration of the Francisco Narváez Museum of Contemporary Art in Porlamar, with a sample of donations by the artist (35 sculptures, 11 paintings, and several serigraphs). In 1981 he finished the monumental Gran Volumen sculpture for the Amuay refinery of the LAGOVEN petroleum corporation, and in 1982 he concluded one of his last works, Armonía de Volúmenes y Espacio, for the Caracas Subway Company.
