Manuel Felguerez Mexican, born 1928 Entre dos almas (Between Two Souls), 1992 Oil on canvas Purchased with funds provided by the Ewing Halsell Foundation Photo Credit: @alice__lowe for the @ArtandDesignMatters Texas Art Crawl www.ArtandDesignMatters.com “Every plane contains potentially infinite volumes. Opt for one, and create a relief; color will also assume dimension. Then take the volume and develop it in space, demonstrate that the concept painting-relief-sculpture is obsolete, exhausted,that form-color is one within relative spaces”…….Manuel Felguerez Manuel Felguerez was born in 1928 in Zacatecas, Mexico. He moved to Mexico City to study sculpture at the Academia de San Carlos and La Esmeralda School of Art. He began exhibiting in the early 1950’s in Paris and Mexico City and continues to exhibit worldwide today. Felguerez has taught for many years at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and was also a visiting professor at Cornell University. In 1976, he was Visiting Researcher at Harvard University, where he collaborated with other scholars on the use of computers in design. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim grant. Entre dos almas is typical of many of Felguerez’s paintings from the early 1990’s in which he explores composition in two dimensions. His paintings include lyrical explorations of curved organic forms juxtaposed with geometric elements. The cool metallic gray background of this work is reminiscent of the high technology and computer elements which influenced Felguerez’s work in the late 1970’s. Felguerez’s paintings are closely related to many of his sculptural reliefs.
