Reseña en inglés sobre el Catálogo de la exposición de Rosario de Velasco en los museos Tyssen y Bellas Artes de Valencia.
Por Claudia Hawkins
For art historians interested in understanding the contributions of women artists to twentieth-century art, this is a most welcome publication. It accompanies a travelling exhibition dedicated to the work of the Spanish artist Rosario de Velasco (1904–91), which opened at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid.[1] Curated by Toya Viudes de Velasco, the artist’s great-niece, and Miguel Lusarreta, it follows the museum’s retrospective of the realist painter Isabel Quintanilla (1938–2017) and is part of wider efforts in museology to recover forgotten women artists.[2] Sometimes such ‘rescue’ missions tend towards overblown and superficial narratives of female artistheroes. Fortunately this is not the case with Rosario de Velasco. See more/seguir leyendo.
