Nelly Perazzo
USAL The auditorium shines illuminating the artistic figure and the itinerary of this artist who left more than twenty monuments in France. On stage, a panel of very important figures of the Academy of Fine Arts and culture in general to present on topics, forming a choral portrait of Frank Magda, his life and his work.
The panel was moderated by Prof. Nelly Perazzo, who gave the floor to Mr. Alberto Pineiro. He lectured on display at the Museum Frank Saavedra made the experience of having interviewed and hosted his work. Then, Dr. of History and Research of prehistoric items, Ruth Corcuera, expressed Frank on the link to the pre-Columbian symbolic universe. Then they discussed the public sculptures and their particular locations, in the words of Prof. María del Carmen Magaz. The panel of notables, the speech ended with the director of the Casa-Museo Frank Magda, Andreussi Tulio, who in short, but emotional speech, reminded the artist and said the forthcoming exhibition at the Museum Oscar Niemeyer in Curitiba, Brazil.
In late October, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, located in Curitiba, Brazil, will be a retrospective of his work, the first major comprehensive exhibition of his work in America. There will be a catalog of critical texts written by Perazzo, and Magaz Corcuera, who with their depth work, context and research managed to bring new perspectives to the history of this incredible woman. The catalog will be a book of studies for future generations of art historians and researchers in the field, since there is no one test to date to address in a thorough and scholarly work of Frank Magda. The hall will house MON Frida Kahlo sculptures in various materials, representing the broad spectrum of interests Magda plastics and expertise demonstrated by each technique, bronze, marble, wood and siporex. Also, the public can enjoy two-dimensional works such as reliefs, drawings exploratory sketches, drawings of monuments and other preliminary searches. Finally, we will make the visitor a series of writings by Frank Magda, which is a fundamental access key to his legacy. During his search
figurative, undoubtedly, is the Big Man (1952) the most important work. Conceived a year before making his first exhibition in Argentina is a job where they condense the pain with hope. The man looks at the sky, hoping to find an answer. In this era of his artistic life, we witness the art critic who writes Iturburu Córdoba in Clarín newspaper of June 20, 1953: "The first exhibition she performed confronts us with a true value, a strong spirit, a metier perfect, always in search of renewal "on the occasion of his first personal exhibition at the Henry Gallery in Buenos Aires, notes Hector Tizon to write his biography.
Because Magda diligence and perseverance led to the habit of writing in a journal, we know the importance of Big Man. As she notes, "reflects my soul. Each part, as a whole, expresses an infinite despair. Nobody wants it, he charged, shocking the viewer. Looking to Heaven, question: why do we have to suffer so much? Who asks, still wait .... "
It highlights the value of documentary collection and the leading role played by texts written by the artist herself being infinitely Journal treasured jewel. Today, it is a mute witness of the most interesting manuscripts among the most protected hundreds of writings by Frank Magda based File in the Casa-Museo del barrio de Saavedra.
Dialogue (1967) represents the inquiry in the field of abstract geometry. Frank had returned to Paris, where they receive with exhibitions, monuments and participation fees for international competitions. Embodies its own path toward constructivism, which will soon be separated from its international exponent become a development that begins timidly interested in pre-Columbian forms. This is a culmination of a series of compositions where the empty nest charge acquiring the same value as the full. The volumes are straight, Cu human figure is only a suggestion proportions.
In 1975, exhibitions and construction of numerous monuments throughout France, finished carving Vegetation. Is an exponent of the constant renewal of his imagination, which is animated by a living breath, a kind of movement of ascent. In this capture movement and give it as a new consciousness to the piece we can find the debt of admiration for the great Constantin Bracusi. That, no doubt father of twentieth-century aesthetic essentialism as Nelly Perazzo said in his tribute to the artist, "she teaches me to let go of outside intervention data natural for a regulated approach towards building their own laws. "
Vegetation (1975)
In terms of his approach to pre-Columbian world, the intersection of the primitive with the drive for monumentality, is perhaps the strongest and most eloquent of his works . It's a powerful piece, strong, direct. It is a monument to eternity, bringing his history behind him. As Ruth Corchera show, "most of the sculptures refer to the dualism Frank Magda." Dualism in geometric progression is given in the voltage to bid for a centrifugal force in opposition to evidence refocusing of centripetal energy. It appears, in turn, traces of Qutzalcoatl, in the twisted forms, the universe is referred Columbian deep in its symbolism, in its verticality, in the synthesis. In all cases, we find the assertion of an inherent monumentality, no doubt, echoes of greatness as related to the work of Henry Moore, as that was akin to the pre-Columbian.
Geometric Progression
Over 50 years later, after leaving a series of more than 20 monuments in France and a House-Museum parts sheltering infinite, the course of a life again set foot in Brazil.
