"Exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum from June 18 to September 15, 2024.
With the collaboration of the Community of Madrid and the Madrid City Council.
This publication, like the exhibition it accompanies, highlights Rosario de Velasco's career during the first decades of her artistic production, from the 1920s to the early 1940s. Through more than fifty paintings, drawings, and watercolors, the exhibition aims to rediscover and showcase the work of one of the least known artists of this period in Spain until now, yet one who had an outstanding career in her time.
Rosario de Velasco's painting from this period falls within the new Spanish figuration of the 1930s, influenced by the new realisms that emerged after the First World War in opposition to the avant-garde movements of the early 20th century—a movement known as the "return to order." Thus, the renewed interest in classicism represented by the magazine Valori Plastici in Italy, Picasso's classical leanings during this period, and the realism of the German New Objectivity movement had a significant impact on the innovative currents in Spain. When Rosario de Velasco presented her iconic work Adam and Eve, the connection to the new avant-garde is evident, but she also echoed the Cubist lesson in terms of spatial arrangement. Rosario de Velasco's still lifes, many inserted within larger compositions, are points of spatial dislocation. The Early Renaissance was also a cornerstone of her influences, which can be recognized in works such as Maternity, Washerwomen, and Three Children.
