Marie L'acrobate (1936), a muse in my work Betty Boop

For Álvarez Debans

When I visit the National Museum of Fine Arts, always catches my eye, the painting by Fernand Léger, Marie L ' acrobate "of 1936 (oil painting 130x97cm).

painters usually see some paintings by other painters and "to desire", we would like to have them displayed in our home or workshop. Perceiving this picture carefully, trying to "understand" as a whole, composition, form, shape, depth, attracts attention. Then, to deconstruct this whole, in parts, something awakens us. Possibly be accomplished with limited resources, inviting recreation. I think, basically the organization, the balance achieved with pure colors, the demonstration, the harmony, the pose of "Marie L'acrobate" exposed in the foreground, a d substantially lurch, facing the viewer.

According to a catalog of the museum (Buenos Aires, 1996), states that applied here Léger aesthetics "engineer" to produce this portrait of monumental type, occupying all the space of representation. Demonstration de la figura humana con la que coincido, ya que las mujeres que pinto, suelen ser retratadas así, en mis obras, ocupando todo el cuadro, exhibiendo a la mujer actual, como mujer “alfa”. Las expongo al observador como un objeto de deseo; absoluta, segura de si, como suele presentarse hoy desde la visión de la moda, del mercado de los objetos-mercancías. La comunicación publicitaria ha hecho de la mujer objeto y sujeto de su discurso. A ella van dirigidos la mayoría de los mensajes y a la vez, es ella la encargada de mostrarnos los nuevos productos. En mi caso, la he presentado, mayoritariamente, como crítica a las tendencias del consumo.

Mi primer obra pensada “desde Léger” was, "A Diva", 23/04/1997, exhibited at the National Culture Halls (Palais de Glace) in a single sample (1999), titled "Women, clones and Divas" today is no longer in my workshop. Then followed another as, sometimes Léger, 25/08/2002; Again Léger, 07/09/2008, Thinking of Marie L'acrobate, 14/06/2010 and fine (for now), Oh Marie L'acrobate, 21/09/2010.

Maybe another day, recurrence of the representation of Marie L'acrobate of Fernand Léger, fortunately, the art takes us unpredictable ways.
