'Frida' by Guillermina Aguilar Clay sculpture Dimensions: 12 inches tall In mint condition Guillermina Aguilar has depicted 'Frida' in Tehuana dress and jewelry. 'Frida' has a full length skirt and a blouse with pink flowers. She wears a large brown ribbon in her hair. Arte del Pueblo is proud to represent the work of Guillermina Aguilar. Guillermina works in clay and has produced an important theme where she gives 'Homage to Frida'. Guillermina is among the most significant modern day folk artists giving homage to 'Frida'. As much as Frida was fascinated by Tehuana Women and the variety of their traditional dress so is Guillermina Aguilar, as her highland Zapotec culture is closely associated with the traditions of the coastal Tehuana's. For Guillermina the multiple manifestations of Tehuana splendor are an integral part of how she identifies herself as a modern folk artist. Guillermina Aguilar is a well documented Master of Mexican Popular Art. Guillermina is the eldest of the Aguilar sisters of Ocotolan, Oaxaca. Guillermina's sisters are Josefina, Concepcion and Irene Aguilar. From an early age, the famed Aguilar sisters learned to make clay figures from their mother. Their work today is world famous and highly sought after by Folk Art Collectors. Guillermina, Josefina, Irene and Concepcion have transformed traditional clay making into new and magical forms. Their clay figures are exhibited widely in galleries and museums both in Mexico and abroad. Guillermina's work is illustrated in two important books on Mexican Folk Art: "Oaxacan Ceramics:Traditional Folk Art by Oaxacan Women" and in the exemplary Banamex book: "Great Masters of Mexican Popular Arts" (Banamex Collection Fomento Cultural)- where a similar 'Frida' can be found in their collection. Guillermina is currently exhibiting at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum of Art. This Bamamex exhibition features more than 600 master works from all 31 states of the Mexican Republic, this exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the most exceptional contemporary folk art of Mexico. |
