Art and women in Alicante

After leaving the testimony of Roche, a warrior there, and another work dedicated to male art creators nearly four years ago, he offered to tell us the story and future of twenty-four female artists, women living and working from this province. that art is a vital necessity and not just for them. On this occasion, the Sociology teacher surrounded her with a brilliant cast for this magnificent edition of UA Publications and Alfons el Magnanim. This shows that besides being a worker, he is a smart kid. The work of important female creators in Alicante’s art history is still hot, and the newly out-of-print book is divided into four large sections, illustrated with important reproductions for almost three hundred pages.

Teacher at the first, Feminine Consciousness Column Browser He reveals the magical world of Polín Laporta of Alcoy, or almost, “comfortable in his solitude”, interpreting Eusebio Sempere himself. Artist Martín Noguerol searches for the meaning of stain for María Chana, a woman with deep eyes and an artist with a solid line. Critic José Luis Antequera gathers his courage and “fights” with another polyhedral warrior, Carmen Jorques, wherever she may be. Professor Pascual Patuel finds abstraction in the Iluminada García-Torres, just as Ariadna rescued Theseus. Professor and author José Luis Ferris explores the multidisciplinary nature of Elena Jiménez and her patchwork, elevating it to the level of sublime art. And this first chapter closes with Professor Pedro Vicente Mullor, bringing the reader closer to the world of Ana Teresa Ortega, a researcher of history and reviving memory.

In the second chapter, The Troubled Man, Professor La Rubia de Prado tells us about the creative stages of one of Alicante’s most universal artists: French Joan Doctor Regina Perez Castillo It is featured in Cristina de Middel’s “one foot in reality, the other in fiction” photographs. Natalia Molinos, another art doctor, takes us through the cosmogonic and dreamy ups and downs of Olga Diego. Remedios Navarro, a technician from MUA, describes the processes that Susana Guerrero of Elche, whom I met while making some great enamels. The work of PhD student María Arregui from Seville allows us to see that the past is part of our present. Rosell Meseguer. Another Meseguer, director of culture, José Luis Martínez, impresses us with Isabel Rico’s photographic vibes, not just travellers. In Rosana Antolí, María José Gadea of ​​MUBAG tells us about the body as a storyteller. Gallery owner and manager Gertrud Gómez reminds Simone Weil, referring to the thoughts of Luz Femenía: «The desire for light produces light».

The third group of the book, Nature, opens with a reflection on technique. Maria Mark, about the creation of another excellent artist, painter and artistic experimenter María Dolores Mulá, my friend. UB professor Laura Cornejo brilliantly tackles Elena Aguilera, a former plastic arts master from Alicante, on the theme “Blue is not a color” that most of us remember. Communications graduate Ana Belén is interested in recreating the Mediterranean landscape, understood by Dolores Balsalobre. Professor Tatiana Hidalgo-Marí and her doctoral student Patricia Palomares detail her intervention in the landscape by interspersing characters with the landscape recreated by Cristina Ferrández. The professor from Castellón Rosalía Torrent concludes with the nature of Silvia Sempere from Alcoy, whom Professor Isabel Tejeda praised for “always choosing a sum of plastic and graph.”

In the final chapters Threads, wefts and warps, Dr. Irene Ballester is interested in another well-known artist. Aurelia Massanet, with endearing tales of fabrics and memories. The nature, vegetables, reeds and branches in Pilar Sala’s work are faithfully described by Professor Miriam Tejero. Doctor Irene Ballester brings us the search for color and emotion that permeates the work of Perceval Graells (Paris blue has always fascinated me). Another close friend to whom I owe much, Pilar Tébar, now the director of Gil-Albert, sharpens Luisa Pastor’s calligraphic mosaics on paper and collage. And finally, Contemporary Art Museology expert Juana María Balsalobre rationalizes the debate between space and landscape in Mónica Jover, who truly believes in the need to seek and find new materials to add to her paintings.

Good morning my baby. One-third of the two pages that the Arts and Literature coordinator Rogelio gave me include the names of all the artists featured in the anthology and experts interested in them and/or their work. Listing the twenty-four artists always gives the feeling that twenty-four more could be added (few come to mind against the blow), but what matters is those who were there on their own merit, and above all, because the person responsible for this important work of your Library is important to you for the first volume. appeared, and I’m sure a second one will follow soon.

The will of professors and women struggling to open a gap in the panorama of art life is not lacking either.
