PREFACE

Juan Genovés’ provocative expressionist paintings have often mirrored the social and political issues of our times, establishing him as one of Spain’s most important contemporary artists.

We are pleased and honored to host the first major exhibition of Genovés’ art in our region. The exhibition includes paintings and works on paper, which span the artist’s career (1965-2011) and incorporates works from both the artist’s personal collection and private collectors.

Genovés’ record of his life and times is truly a remarkable body of work. In the 1970s, Genovés’ painting El Abrazo (The Embrace) came to symbolize Spain’s transition from dictatorship to democracy. When the painting was used on a poster demanding amnesty for political prisoners, Genovés was arrested and placed in solitary confinement for seven days.

Although the Franco era in Spain is long past, Genovés’ art continues to reflect a political sensibility.

“I believe that every artist is political, in the broad sense of the word,” he told us, while preparing this exhibition. “I consider the artist to be a kind of notary public, who bears witness… to the world, to life, to the time of life he is going through.”

Many people contributed to this exhibition and to the accompanying catalogue. We would like to thank Marlborough Gallery, which has represented Genovés since 1964, and its President, Pierre Levai, who developed the concept for the show with Naples Museum of Art Founder Myra Janco Daniels. We are grateful to Marlborough Gallery Vice President Tara K. Reddi for assisting in the selection of the works and the loans to the exhibition, as well as other Marlborough staff, including Cynthia Garvey; Registrar, who coordinated the preparation of the works for the exhibition and assisted with the transport of the loaned works; Maeve O’Regan, Creative Director, who designed the beautiful catalogue; and Annie Rochfort, Archivist, who handled the photography.

We thank Christian Viveros-Faune, art critic for The Village Voice, for his perceptive essay on the work of Juan Genovés.

I wish to thank our outstanding team at the Patty & Jay Baker Naples Museum of Art for their assistance in various aspects of the catalogue and the planning and installation of the exhibition, in particular Chris Erickson, Exhibitions Designer/ Curator, for his exemplary preparation of this exhibition, and Jacqueline Zorn, Registrar, who meticulously coordinated the packing and transport of the works.

This exhibition would not have been possible without the generosity of its lenders (listed on page 48), to whom we are deeply grateful.

“I don’t like to look at life through the rear-view mirror,” Genovés told us recently. “Now, on the occasion of this exhibition, I’ve had to look back.”

We’re glad that he did—and that he has taken us along for the journey. We extend a special thanks to Juan Genovés for creating this captivating art, and for traveling to Naples for the opening of this

Preface

THE R ADIC AL: ICONOCL ASM AND MODERNIT Y IN J U A N G E N O V É S’ PA I N T I N G

Art doesn’t advance, it changes. A typically epigrammatic thought by the celebrated artist Juan Genovés, this terse saying reaffirms the consistently modern-day character of the work of this veteran 20th century Spanish painter.

Born in 1930 in Valencia to a solid working class family—his father and grandfather both belonged to the woodworkers union and were committed Socialists—Genovés was just six years old when the Spanish Civil War began. Three years later it was over. Genovés was nine, but nonetheless, witnessed the epochmaking human tragedy in full. The consequences of this cataclysm and other injustices would linger painfully in his memory and that of millions of others for more than half a century.

by Christian Viveros-Fauné

Juan Genovés’ commitment to pictorial realism began with the events he saw as a boy in Valencia: bombings, firing squads, people holding their hands above their heads, burning churches, bodies littering the cobbled streets. By the time something near normalcy was restored to his city, he had taken to drawing on buildings with bits of scavenged coal. Eventually, the budding artist enrolled in formal art training. After receiving what he readily acknowledges was an inferior art education at the University of Valencia—“the professors were the mediocre victors of the war, the best had died or were in exile” he says—Genovés set off on what would prove to be, figuratively speaking, a bomb-throwing iconoclast’s career.

Because Genovés’ ambitions were far-reaching, his struggles extended beyond the harsh repression of the Spanish military. Starting in 1961, with the founding of the Grupo Hondo in Madrid, Genovés also bucked the Francophile tendencies of Art Informel—as expressed by the à la mode abstractions of contemporaries like Manolo Millares and Antonio Saura—while tilting against the powerful forces promoting painting’s latest development, Abstract Expressionism. At the time American figures like Clement Greenberg, Clifford Still and Mark Rothko (Genovés befriended the latter near the end of his life) appeared arrayed on one side of a canyon-like divide; from where he stood, the young Genovés saw himself, a few friends, and the isolated reality of Spain on the other. It was David versus Goliath. Little did Genovés know then—in the early 1960s as well as during our own time—that laboring at the margins rather than at the center of culture would afford him crucial leverage with which to reinvigorate the age-old medium of painting.

Working in Madrid, Genovés gave free rein to a brand of figuration that, from the vantage point of Europe’s deepest backwater, threw off what had already become the era’s painterly orthodoxy (other artists did the same from a painful psychological distance. Consider here the embattled Philip Guston, holed up in Woodstock after being critically savaged for preferring cartoon Klansmen over “pure abstraction”). To

achieve this Genovés cast back to images recovered from his formative childhood: there was the uniform colorlessness of the Franco regime, the dark cassocks of the priests at school, the latent fear that blanketed daily life in postwar Spain like a grey mist. But there was also the warm idealism that marked the early days of the Republic, the lively crowds at the football stadium near his home, the massed multitudes seen in Soviet films at school, and from among the latter, his fascinating encounter with Sergei Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin. No wonder he later got on so well with Francis Bacon, another figurative painter who greatly admired the Russian director. Bacon bought a painting from Genovés’ very first London exhibition. A sign of artistic kinship that went far beyond mere collegiality, it proved to be the Englishman’s only purchase of a contemporary work.

Canvases like El Zoo (1965), Espectáculo (1965) and La Espera (1965) inaugurate a mature yet youthful Genovés after having arrived at a hard-won, full-blown style in the face of tremendous handicaps (poverty, poor schooling, lack of connections, etc.). These and other resolutely political paintings are dominated by a restricted palette (mostly grays, blacks and browns), the use of an oval or a circle to suggest guard tower surveillance, and groups of tiny individuated figures which the artist has consistently referred to as “crowds of individuals” (compare this with sociologist David Riesman’s colder term: “the lonely crowd”). Later paintings, like Un Hombre Solo (1967) and Fila Truncada (1969) introduce color into an insistently dark vision of humanity under siege. Anxiety and impending violence—like those that hound Winston Smith in George Orwell’s 1984 largely characterize Genovés’ work from this period. And then there is El Abrazo (1976).

El Abrazo, whose title translates as The Embrace—the work is not included in this exhibition for reasons that have everything to do with both real and art world politics—remains, despite its long history, a conspicuous symbol of hope and social optimism in Spain and abroad. A canvas filled with more than a dozen fully developed, large figures embracing in a shallow space, its reproduction was first made famous by Spain’s government-in-hiding (they clandestinely distributed 500,000 copies), and later via various Amnesty International human rights campaigns. The painting made Genovés a household name and led to his detention and solitary confinement (“just imagine someone being jailed today for making a painting of people hugging” he says now). Following Franco’s death, El Abrazo was purchased by the Spanish state. It remains, after Guernica, quite possibly the most recognizable Spanish painting of the 20th century.

From the hinterland of Franco’s Spain to the very nexus of worldwide cultural influence, Genovés has charted a genuinely radical path that underscores the artist’s obligation to society at large. His powerful realism and social commitment appear in paintings made during Spain’s transition to democracy as well as in more recent works like Redes (2010) and Diversidad (2011)—their plugged-in titles that suggest these bird’s-eye images of teeming groups share concerns with the Indignados, Spain’s Occupy Movement. Politics don’t advance, they change. Juan Genovés’ paintings have provoked, shocked and revealed during a long career devoted to unmasking the aesthetic and moral importance of social and political transformations.

Contemporary art and artists feel tremendously indebted to him. His vision and example contain both what we know and what’s to come. • writes art criticism for The Village Voice, the “Free-Lance” column for ArtReview magazine and news and analysis for The Art Newspaper. He was the recipient of a Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant in 2010 and named critic-in-residence at The Bronx Museum of Art in 2010/2011.
