Alice Rahon. Impresiones.

Welcome to "Alice Rahon: Impressions" at the Kaluz Museum. The French poet Alice Rahon settled in Mexico in 1939, where she transformed her production, becoming a prominent artist. The Swiss photographer Eva Sulzer described her painting as a synthesis and reconciliation between surrealism and abstraction. Rahon's plastic work privileged non-figuration as well as original formal experimentation, issues that earned her the qualification at the time as the first abstract artist in Mexico. She never identified with the description of her paintings as abstractions and preferred to refer to them as impressions. The title of this exhibition stems from that consideration. "Impressions" is an exhibition that, within Alice Rahon's extensive and diverse production, pays special attention to her representations of the natural world, particularly in her landscapes. Through these works, her interest in constant formal experimentation and in materializing representations far from strict figuration is particularly appreciated.
