Abstract

José Leonilson came of age as an artist during the 80s generation in Brazil. What he shared with this diverse artistic milieu was the so-called "joy of painting," rediscovered in the years following the end of Brazil's dictatorship. What separated him from his contemporaries was his personal way of working and his distinct aesthetic centered on raw emotional feelings, introspective musings, and private affairs. Focusing on Leonilson's production as a mature artist, the catalogue will feature approximately fifty paintings, drawings, and intimate embroideries made between the mid-1980s until 1993, when the artist died of AIDS. This short yet prolific period showcases the artist's fully developed language, connecting Leonilson's oeuvre with contemporary art practices, Brazilian vernacular traditions, and global issues prompted by the AIDS crisis. Exhibition: Americas Society, New York, USA (27.09.2017-03.02.2018).

Abstract

"This survey of Yves Klein's oeuvre allows us to take a look at an important chapter in the history of art, not only through the biographical episodes of a visionary figure, which uniquely followed his training and maturation as an artist, a pioneering figure, in more than one way, of the fundamentals of the visual arts of our time, who made a bid for the creation of infinite images and the provocation of sluggish and unprecedented sensations. Co-organized by the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the Fundación Proa, this exhibition is an exceptional opportunity to learn about and appreciate the adventure behind the history of an exceptional artist whose legacy continues to provide guidelines for artists and to liberate our ways of looking"--Page 19.
