Abstract
Pioneras y transgresoras: mujeres en las artes en Puerto Rico recoge ensayos y reproduce obras de varias artistas de Puerto Rico que se destacaron por ser precursoras en la práctica artística y en la enseñanza del arte. El proyecto surge de una serie de conferencias magistrales impartidas entre marzo de 2020 y septiembre de 2021, presentadas por la Liga de Arte de San Juan con el auspicio de la Fundación Puertorriqueña de las Humanidades.
Desde diferentes miradas y posiciones estas mujeres artistas quebrantaron normas y transgredieron su entorno. Introdujeron estilos pictóricos originales dentro del contexto del arte en Puerto Rico. Fueron mujeres independientes, viajeras por motivos de estudio y deseos de explorar el mundo. Las historias oficiales no han documentado sus aportaciones con toda la atención que merecen. Los museos tampoco les han dedicado todo el espacio que ameritan, y algunas de sus obras más importantes permanecen en sus depósitos. Fueron nuestras Maestras:
Luisa Géigel Brunet, Luisina Ordóñez Sabater, María Luisa Penne de Castillo, Cecilia Orta Allende y Ana Bassó Bruno.
El libro también incorpora al Colectivo Moriviví, representante de una nueva generación de artistas que rompen con los esquemas del arte tradicional y se lanzan a crear con medios novedosos, particularmente a través del arte público. Deciden ignorar los museos y apropiarse de las paredes del vecindario, de la ciudad para plasmar sus imágenes comprometidas con las luchas de las mujeres y de la comunidad por mayor justicia. Su consigna: el 'artivismo'.
Pioneers and Transgressors: Women in the Arts in Puerto Rico collects essays and reproduces works by several Puerto Rican artists who stood out as forerunners in artistic practice and art teaching. The project stems from a series of master lectures given between March 2020 and September 2021, presented by the Liga de Arte de San Juan under the auspices of the Fundación Puertorriqueña de las Humanidades. From different points of view and positions, these women artists broke norms and transgressed their environment. They introduced original pictorial styles within the context of art in Puerto Rico. They were independent women, travellers for reasons of study and a desire to explore the world. Official histories have not documented their contributions with all the attention they deserve. Nor have museums given them all the space they deserve, and some of their most important works remain in storage. They were our Maestras: Luisa Géigel Brunet, Luisina Ordóñez Sabater, María Luisa Penne de Castillo, Cecilia Orta Allende and Ana Bassó Bruno. The book also incorporates the Moriviví Collective, representative of a new generation of artists who break with the traditional art schemas and set out to create with new media, particularly through public art. They decided to ignore the museums and take over the walls of the neighbourhood, of the city, to capture their images committed to the struggles of women and the community for greater justice. Their slogan: 'artivism'.
