10 paintings of women
1. Self-portrait (1944), Dorothea Tanning
The figure we can observe is the artist, Dorothea, with her back turned to us and contemplating an Arizona's landscape. She painted it from memory, without any references.
2. The goodbye (1958), Remedios Varo.
The lovers get apart, each one follows their way, but their shadows project and in the place of the goodbye they come close, nearly in a kiss. A cat, witness of the scene, looks at us.
3. The meal of Lord Candlestick (1938), Leonora Carrington.
This painting is a critical about the banquets and parties typical of the hihg-class sphere in which the artist lived. We can see women surrounded by all kind of exotic food. One of them, indifferent, sticks her knife in a child.
4. Still life with Nuts, Candy and Flowers (1611), Clara Peeters.
It seems a "simple" still life, however, Clara Peeters, one of the starting painters of still life, hides self-protraits in the objects she paints.
5. Ariadna abandonned by Teseo (1774), Angelica Kauffmann
After escaping from the Minotauru's laberinth in Crete, Teseo takes Ariadna, which was in love of him. Once in Naxos island, Teseo abandons Ariadna in her sleeping. In the painting we see Ariadna devastated in her awakening.
6.Self-protrait (1556?), Sofonisba Anguissola
We see Sofonisba painting the Virgin Mary with the child. The colors of this paining contrast with her clothing. Sofonisba was erased from history for a long time, and may of her paintings were attributed to men.
7. The verbena (1927), Maruja Mallo
This painting belongs to a series of 4 oleos dedicated to prties from Madrid. In this one, with bright colors, typical elements of these parties are represented such as the giants. ALl of them, painted in apparent dissorder, aim to give a happy athmosphere.
8. Self-portrait with two pupils, Marie Gabrielle Capet y Marie Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond (1785), Adélaïde Labille-Guiard
In this self-portrait, we see the artist sat in front of the easel, teaching her pupils. The paining of the clothing and the light outstands.
9.Group of 4 naked (1925), Tamara de Lempicka
In this scene, the curvy forms of four women are compressed, showing erotism and excluding the male participation.
10. The broken column (1944), Frida Kahlo
The painter appears semi-naked and with a jonic broken column as spinal column, one corset and nails. This way, she is representing her suffering after an accident she had on 1925. The arid landscape refers to the isolation she felt.
