Description: ANA MENDIETA. Painter. Sculptor. Conceptual Art. Contemporary Art. Cuba (1948-1985) • Title: Untitled • Technique: watercolor / cardboard • Size: 17 x 12 inches • Executed: 1984 • Signed: Ana Mendieta PROVENANCEJosé Veigas, Private collection, Havana, acquired from original owner by current owner. Ana Mendieta was a conceptual artist, painter, sculptor, and worked with photography, video, and was particularly recognized for her performance art. Mendieta attended the University of Iowa, where she studied Fine Arts and earned a Master's degree in painting. However, she recognized that two-dimensional art did not work for her artistic interests and motivations. Her language was directed at questioning issues of women's oppression as a gender, violence, stereotypes, as well as nature and beauty. Her aesthetic resources extended to the use of her body, blood as a magical bond, and natural environments. In some cases, her creations are defined as "earth-body art." Mendieta exemplified the best of her art in a collection called "Siluetas," focused on sculpted figures made with natural elements such as grass, flowers, branches, and clay, and incorporated themes such as creation, faith, and femininity. This particular work has the charm of reflecting almost in mimesis the components, leaves, of nature that so motivated the artist as part of her creative trajectory.This piece could very well be part of the creative projects conceived for the first time in his native island, Cuba, as described in the testimony attached to the images of the work. ANA MENDIETA . Pintora. Escultora. Arte Conceptual. Arte contemporáneo. Cuba (1948-1985) • Título: Sin Titulo • Técnica: acuarela / cartulina • Medida: 17 x 12 pulgadas • Ejecutado: 1984 • Firmado: Ana Mendieta PROVENANCEColección privada, José Veigas, Habana, adquirido del propietario original por el propietario actual. Ana Mendieta fue una artista conceptual, pintora, escultora, Trabajó la fotografía, el video y en especial fue reconocida por el performance. Mendieta asistió a la Universidad de Iowa. Estudió Bellas Artes y conseguiría una maestría en pintura, aunque reconoció que la obra bidimensional no le funcionaria con sus intereses y motivaciones artísticas, Su lenguaje estuvo dirigido a cuestionar temas sobre la opresión de la mujer como género, la violencia, los estereotipos; pero también la naturaleza y la belleza. Sus recursos estéticos se extendieron al uso de su cuerpo, la sangre como vinculo mágico y los ambientes naturales, se definen en algunos casos sus creaciones como; ¨earth-body art¨. Mendieta ejemplificó lo mejor de su arte en una colección llamada Siluetas, enfocada en figuras esculpidas hechas con elementos de la naturaleza como césped, flores, ramas y arcilla, e incorporó temas como la creación, la fe y la feminidad. Esta obra en especial tiene el encanto de reflejar casi en mimesis los componentes, hojas, de la naturaleza que tanto motivó a la artista como parte de su trayectoria creativa.Esta pieza, bien podría formar parte de los proyectos creativos concebidos por vez primera en su isla natal, Cuba, como bien describe el testimonio adjunto a las imágenes de la obra.
