A breathtaking photograph of the UNAM Rectory Tower in Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City, captured during a vibrant sunset. The iconic building is perfectly framed by a stunning, blooming bougainvillea in rich purple hues. The warm orange, yellow and purple light of the sunset reflects beautifully on the building's facade. This captivating image was taken by ©Jahir @jahirdan.

"Shortly before #Siqueiros began painting [“América Tropical”], the front page of La Opinión...reported that Mexicans in the city were being indiscriminately apprehended at the Plaza & given one-way rail tickets to Mexico. These events had a deep effect on the artist," historian William D. Estrada.
María Asúnsolo, with her startling beauty, exceptional intelligence, and warm/open nature, became a muse, friend, protector, and confidant of painters ... who painted her again and again. This portrait of María descending a staircase is a spectacular and insinuating work. Signed and dated 1935, with the dedication "A mi adorada e inolvidable María Asúnsolo" (To my adored and unforgettable María Asúnsolo). There is also a cryptic message (C.T.M.E.Y.M.C.) which could mean ""Con todo mi estimación y mi cariño" or "With all my esteem and my affection" to express Siqueiros's deep passion for Asúnsolo. The theatrical presentation of the model, in her thin silk dress, likely refers to one of the clichés of Mexican cinema: la entrada a la fiesta making a grand entrance to a party. The works remained in the collection of Asúnsolo until 1988, when it was acquired by the National Institute of Fine Arts and became part of the founding heritage of the Museo Nacional de Arte (National Museum of Art) in Mexico City, along with other portraits of Asúnsolo made by Jesús Guerrero Galván, Juan Soriano, Federico Cantú and Diego Rivera among others. In the mid 1930's when this painting was completed, María had turned her apartment on Reforms Avenue into the María Asúnsolo Art Gallery (GAMA), where she exhibited prestigious artists including the painter of this portrait: David Alfaro Siqueiros. Long after her divorce from German husband Auguste Diener and love affair with Siqueiros, she remained an active patron of the arts until the 1980s when she donated all her paintings to the museum and moved to spend her remaining years in Cuernavaca. María often refused to tell her age and forged birth certificates to affirm her Mexican-ness; however, she was actually born in the United States, the daughter of a French-Canadian mother, Marie Mortand, and a Mexican father, Mauel Dolores Asúnsolo, who died in the defense of the Zapatista cause when María was a child.

In the first half of the 20th century, Mexico saw a dramatic influx of American painters, sculptors, writers, designers, collectors, and more, who were exhilarated by the country’s bohemian nature. A vibrant artistic movement reflecting Mexican culture and heritage and spreading post-revolutionary ideas persisted after the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920 – attracting American artists including painter and designer Annette Nancarrow. Nancarrow (1907-1992) grew up in New York surrounded by various artistic communities from a young age. Pursuing a career in the arts was an effortless decision for her. She received art degrees from Hunter College and Columbia University and moved to Mexico City in 1936 after visiting with her sister in the previous summer. Nancarrow immersed herself into the Mexican arts community, befriending “Los Tres Grandes (The Big Three)” of Mexican Muralism – pivotal painters Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco cultivated an artistic style that defined Mexico following the Revolution. Nancarrow embraced the culture of her new home and found inspiration in urban Mexican landscapes, cultural traditions, and Meso-American objects. She collected a large number of Meso-American artifacts which she used as references when painting still life compositions and integrated them into various jewelry designs including rings, necklaces, and bracelets. Bullfights became a favorite pastime for Nancarrow and the sport had a great influence on her artistic practice, resulting in a large body of paintings and drawings passionately depicting the toreador and scenes of bullfighting. The artist’s most prolific body of work was created during her long residency in Mexico, admiring the rich culture through images of bustling Mexican markets, sensitive portraits of individuals in the Latino community, and elegant and ferocious depictions of the torero and the bull.
a HUGE vintage 1950s original oil on canvas pre-Hispanic Figures painting by Annette Nancarrow from during her many years spent in Mexico. She was a close friend of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo among many other Mexican artists and writers, and collaborated with Rivera on a number of his murals over the years, and I believe that his huge collection of pre-Hispanic figures (which later became the basis for the collection of the Anahuacalli Museum in Mexico City) was the inspiration for this artwork. One of the figures (at center left, shown in side profile) even looks like Diego Rivera - see my last photo which is of Diego Rivera in front of a pre-Hispanic temple taken near the end of his life! The second to last photo is of Diego Rivera with part of his collection of pre Columbian objects, and the small crouching figure in front of him holding a pole-like weapon is also the front and center figure in this painting by Nancarrow! This painting would have been completed either just before or just after his death, and I believe that it is an homage to her great friend, his obsession with pre-Hispanic artifacts, and their friendship of so many years! A wonderful and quite vividly painted artwork, and with deep personal meaning for the artist. And, in addition, one of the largest and best paintings by Nancarrow that I have seen ever! This painting is in the original painted wood frame probably made by the artist herself, and still bears a partial gallery tag at back from when it was first shown at the Galleria de Arte Mendelsohn in Mexico City. The artwork measures 32.5" by 40.5" at the outside of the thin wood frame which adds about 1/2" all around, and measures 1-1/2" deep. It is signed at front as shown, "Annette Nancarrow Mexico". Excellent vintage condition.
Nancarrow worked mostly in brass and copper, often combined in the same piece, and with or without pre-Columbian pottery or stone relics. Her jewelry in silver is extremely rare, and this 'fertility god' keychain is a fine example. A one of a kind vintage 1940s handmade sterling silver Fertility God design key chain by Annette Nancarrow. She was a close friend of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo among many other Mexican artists and writers, and collaborated with Rivera on a number of his murals over the years. She also designed one of a kind jewelry pieces often including ancient relics from pre-Columbian Mexico. Her jewelry is usually bronze, sometimes with copper, and extremely rarely in sterling silver. In fact, this is the ONLY piece by her that I have seen in sterling silver in my 45+ year career! This key chain is comprised of a Fertility God figure at one end with exaggerated male genitalia, and a hook-shaped wire-wrapped section at the other end. The mushroom-cap shaped terminal screws off so that keys can be placed on the hook section. An incredible one of a kind piece that would make a great gift for the person who has everything! This keychain measures 5" long by 1-1/8" wide, and weighs 19.5 grams total. Marked as shown, "Nancarrow" and "Sterling". As noted above, this is the only sterling silver design by Nancarrow that I have seen in my 45+ year career! Extremely rare, and an incredible design as well! Excellent vintage condition.
Photograph of the artist seated in front of her portrait by Jose Clemente Orozco, one of the titans of Mexican 20th century art. She is wearing one of her jewelry creations, a huge axe-shaped pendant necklace with many beads including pre-Columbian relics.
Annette Nancarrow (1907-1992) was an artist and jewelry designer who had a life-long fascination for the ancient cultures of Mexico. Some of the pieces by her in my shop...
