Roberto Fabelo Anatomy Series Analysis

Decent Essays
The "Anatomy Series" was the most interesting piece I appreciated on my visit to the Perez Art Museum Miami. Roberto Fabelo, a Cuban painter, is the author of this peculiar series of drawings. This set of art is based on pages from an Anatomy book with certain representation of human organs and systems. The author uses the original drawing in the page to recreate and integrate it to his own creation. Fabelo's peculiar style gives as a result a series of smart, graphically detailed, bold, spicy creatures: half human, half divine.
I choose this series of pieces because I am familiar with Fabelo's art and style, I think it is very distinctive, I immediately recognized it when I saw the first drawing in the Museum, I was not acquainted with this

    On display in the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art are two works painted within about a decade of each other. At first glance, they seem to have little in common other than the fact that they each depict four human beings. One would not expect to be able to draw a meaningful commonality between the two based solely on this, and if the viewers make their observation merely on the surface level of the works, they will not. However, the existence of these two sets of people, the essence of humanity that they embody, is a powerful thing to examine when we observe how each artist arrives at his interpretation of humanity.…

    The installation leads me to the next story where the exhibitions are on display. I follow the rope to the second floor which exhibits Ida Applebroog’s series Catastrophe with its colors contrasting against blank plaster walls. Each individual piece is drawn on five by two-and-half feet mylar sheets. These have a cream color and are translucent with a matte finish. Applebroog’s consistent style involves simple, curvilinear figures that resemble the abstraction often seen in children sketches.…

    Tastefully developed and carefully curated, The Meadows Museum at Southern Methodist University now holds one of the largest collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The museum prides itself on displaying widely diversified paintings, a statement I do not fully agree with. Although the two-story museum’s walls are furnished with with a wide variety of subject content there is a chauvinistic sense about their collections. I am not saying there is an unequal ratio of male to female portraits because there isn’t. The museum has a plethora of women as subjects, but they only seem to only display women painted by men.…

    The museum that I chose to go was to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which was holding an exhibition that was dedicated to Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time. The piece that stood out to me the most was Pre-Columbian America by Diego Rivera that features indigenous imagery and creates an alternative view of America. The piece itself was made with oil on canvas with bright colors, which features many scenes that depicts the daily lives of the indigenous people located at the lower half of the artwork – living their daily lives and chores which included preparing food, weaving clothing, building pyramids, farming and making art. In the background with very small detail, Rivera included images of the indigenous people sailing around in boats, gathering in circles and preforming the Danza de los Voladores (Dance of the Flyers) which was a ritual that consisted of dancers climbing of up a huge pole, tie themselves with rope and launch themselves until they reached the ground as a way to ask the gods to end droughts. The crops that were included in the artwork, corn and nopales were done with extraordinary detail, were one could see the details that Rivera included that make them more realistic - the corn was especially important to the indigenous people…
