One of the reasons that us who live on the border, and as much as We try and Tried to improve the Arts and Culture, some things will never really are going to change, for one our Cursed Mexican - American " Crab Game " ( Pulling someone from their feets, whenever He / She Is beign Successive or Making it in the " Real world" ). We have so much resentment Against both cultures, lack real Courage to do Things and to overcome our diferences with the Dominant Anglo - Caucasian Culture.

I rally dislike the idea of doing an Art exhibit, going with the traditional " old School of exhibiting" with Series and Evry art piece has to ralater to each other... I believe that is the most Boring Art and Uncreative Artwork for an intellectual and Imaginative Artist , Painter !!!

Good use of primary and complementary color. Has a cubist
( particulary Braque ) feeling to it, but overlapping of color schemes and shapes takes it to another level. Good Size.
This reminds me of your other paintings you exhibited at Thres Pintores Exhibit. Is this one after the exhibit or a piece you chose not to include int he group work?

It is a Cubist Piece, 100 years later since Cubism Was really Developed By Diego Rivera ,and Not by Pablo Picasso and Braque or Juan Gris... As the Art books want Us to be "Brainwashed" believe them.

You are Actually Right... Diego Rivera Invented Cubism !!!

Anonymous said...

Diego Rivera did experiment in Paris with cubism but he did not invent cubism. Parisian writers,painters, and poets regarded "primitive art" from Africa as a way to associate themselves with thier raw emotions. Braque could really be considered the creator of cubism and Picasso the spokesperson for the "new vision". Picasso's personality was aligned to the push of new thought in society from intellectual circles.
Diego Rivera's work is well crafted and planned. I was lucky to see his work in Mexico City and a few here and there in the U.S.

It would be nice to see exhibits in the valley worth the price of admission. I recently visited Dallas Museum of Fine Art and spent at least 4 hours there and still didn't get to see it all.

J. Miller, Can you please Tell Wich Art gallery from Mc Allen is Willing to Exhibit artwork from Brownsville? Any Clue is Good .

Thanks!

I am no spokesperson for McAllen art scene, but Manichaus was willing to give me a show after an initial portfoilo showing. I declined because it also required me to participate in critiques. Like I told the gallery owner Omar, I am a person who makes rather than talks. Don't get me wrong, his request was fair.
He runs a business and needs artists/artwork that he can market well. I believe he has also included several artists from Brownsville , Cande Aguilar, Mark Clark,and one other that works as a mortician.
I originally wanted to work with Antinori on a McAllen exhibit but never got my painting series finished, maybe by next summer if he is still up to it.

I don't think that McAllen is the answer for Brownsville artists. Artists should support each other through this website and find ways of bringing the art to the people.

One valley artist that I admire is Rene Z. Garza. He doesn't wait for some gallery to approve his art, he is creative enough to make his opportunities.

J. Miller

Bottom line is that if you want an opportunity , work on it and find something else if they say no.

Best to you and your family Gabriel.

Yes , I Believe Mc Allen is So much Better than Brownsville, Over there , people in general, are better Educated , Artistic Developed and well Traveled... Here In Browntown all We have is Fajitas and " COCONUTS " !!!

Anonymous said...

Please Explain What or Whom are COCONUTS ??

Anonymous said...

--dumb remark, artistic developed...what the hell does this mean?
--the three cities with the greatest educated populations are;, BROWWNVILLE, EDINBURG, AND HARLINGEN, McAllen is fourth!
--well traveled? gee most reservations at the largest airport are made from people from from the lower valley
--no we have chicken, fish, pork and dumb people like you!
--Yes we have coconuts at almost all produce stores. good observation...oh, your being a racist sarcastic jerk. don't you think that by thinking like that it makes you like that too?
--you sound chafas pan con carne

Is Cubic Art really about our most intimate Feelings toward a Person that We Love, but are afraid to Express it??

My Art teacher Still Says that Art is really about selling beautyful paintings, something Safe and commercial... If You Want to Survive Here In This Small Mentallity Town, You Should Paint Charro Days Stuff and Rose Flowers.

" Art was meant to be Admired, We artists are to blame for our own Misconception of Art. I Will not Rest any more day of my life to make people see that art is More Than Art; It is a tool of Communication, a tool to Construct and not To Destroy, I Will "

no money and fame are to blame...before you make such a statment you need to define art and then apply it to your point of view. when you destroy you construct...simple concept

" Art Can only Be Explained by the Purpose of Reconstructing a new concept of Beauty, Ideas and Feelings. My Art Is Minimal, direct and to a specific group of today's global World, Tomorrow I Will die, but my Art will always survived. I can Only describe Art as a New Media of communication, Art can be Misintreped by many ; if We Artists / Painters Do not Defend its bare core. "

I Believe Felix Gonzalez - Torres Died In 1997, in New York city , from AIDS.
Now, The M.oM.A. Has a Foundation For the Arts , Under his Name.
