Tres pintoras

Exhibition of three female painers from Uruguay: Eva Olivetti (Uruguay 1924-2013), Linda Kohen (Milan, Italy 1924, lives in Uruguay since 1940) and Angelina de la Quintana (Uruguay 1935, since 1982 lives and works in Vienna, Austria). "The three present female painters, with their own physiognomy, link their work with the sense of freedom taught by their teacher José Gurvich. All three shared his teaching in the decade of the 1950's. It was a moment of great commotion in Uruguayan society and that was transmitted to the artistic expression. The presence of women brings new perspectives that glide to the creation of art. Its creation reflects the poetics transmitted by José Gurvich that from the margins of constructivism, ensures an opening towards freedom." (HKB Translation) --Page 7.
