Hilma af Klint

 

Em 1906, desenvolveu imagens abstratas, bem antes de alguns dos mais célebres artistas associados ao movimento da arte abstracta, tais como o Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian e Kazimir Malevich. O trabalho da Hilma af Klint não é uma pura abstração da cor e da forma, por si só, mas antes um retrato do que não é visível. (Wikipédia).

Paula Rego

Os críticos de arte ingleses estão rendidos a Paula Rego.

Quite why she is not more famous is difficult to fathom. Maybe her gender and style went against her? A bit too much for all those buttoned-up male museum directors whose stripped back modernist tastes ruled the roost for far too long.

Their time has come and gone.

The game is changing.

I can't recall another exhibition season quite like this summer's, when there are so many monographic shows dedicated to female artists being staged across the country.

It brings to mind the female figure in Sit. She knew her time would come. And so it has. It is now.
