Instagram post 17843675261382883 Guatemala-born, Mexico-based artist Carlos Merida was one of Latin America’s pioneer Modernists. Merida studied painting in Paris where he met Picasso, Modigliani, and others of the Paris school. He initiated the first pro-Indian art movement in the Americas, seven years before the rise of Mexican Muralism. Although Merida assisted Diego Rivera on his first murals, his true artistic direction is more closely identified with #RufinoTamayo. Both artists shared a desire to fuse European Modernism with the forms and subjects of the Americas. Though he worked on large-scale murals with #DiegoRivera and #MarioPani, Mérida most often created small-scale easel paintings. ⁠ .⁠ His use of sleek lines in the clothing and faces of the women depicted here enhances their delicate features and underscores their physical closeness. ♥️💙⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 🎨: Carlos Mérida⁠ "Mujers con Velas (Women with Candles)"⁠ 1925⁠ Handcolored pochoir⁠ Gift of the Estate of Dr. and Mrs. James L Sheehy⁠ #uscfishermuseum #modernism #carlosmerida #latinamericanmodernism #pochoir #painting #stencil #hispanicheritagemonth ⁠

Instagram post 17903738668543699 Happy first day of autumn! 🍁🍂⁠ .⁠ While #SoCal fall doesn't exactly look like this, we are hoping to peek some oranges, yellows, and reds of changing leaves this season.⁠ .⁠ Théodore Rousseau was born in Paris in 1812. In 1848, he began living in the village of Barbizon near the Forest of Fontainebleau, which became the subject of many of this works, including this piece in the Fisher's #permanentcollection.⁠ .⁠ 🎨: Théodore Rousseau, "The Lake in the Forest," 1850, 11 4/5 x 20 1/8 in., oil on panel, Gift of Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes Fisher.⁠ .⁠ #uscfishermuseum #firstdayoffall #autumnalequinox #landscape #ThéodoreRousseau #Barbizon #museumfromhome
