Est: $75,000 - $125,000
Ricardo Martinez (Mexican/Texas, 1918-2009) "Peones", 1954 oil on canvas signed and dated lower left. Framed. 59" x 36", framed 66" x 43" Provenance: Purchased in February 1955 from Galeria de Arte Mexicano, Mexico City, Mexico; Collection of Samuel Ellis and Valerie Sellors Dunnam, Austin, Texas; thence by descent. Literature: This work will be included in the Fundacion Ricardo Martinez catalogue raisonne, # FRM000721. We kindly thank the Fundacion Ricardo Martinez for confirming the painting in the Galeria de Arte Mexicano records/archives. Notes: Ricardo Martinez, a quiet man in life, spoke volumes in his art. A pivotal figure in 20th century Mexican art, his work is a unique blend of magical realism and costumbrista painting that explores the mundane and the spiritual in Mexican culture through the human body: monumental and suspended or folded inward in repetition, Martinez transfigures the terrestrial world into physical manifestations of the celestial one that recall the cosmos and ethos of the nation and its Pre-colonial past. Martinez was born into a large, artistically gifted family with sixteen children in Mexico City. At the age of nine, his family moved to San Antonio, Texas, exposing the young Martinez children to the English language and literature. With the onset of the Great Depression, the family moved back to Mexico City, and Martinez began drawing and painting to help the family. His innate talent drew the attention of his brothers Jorge- an architect, and Olivero, a sculptor- who taught him the basics of painting and enlisted his assistance with drawings for the "Monument to the Revolution". Following Martinez's graduation from High School in 1938, he enrolled to study law at the Autonomous University of Mexico, but left within a month to pursue art at the Academy of San Carlos- an even shorter lived venture that lasted but a day. In 1940 Martinez set up a studio in his parents' home and began "teaching himself" through Mexican and European art books and the English manual, The Materials of the Artist Max Doerner. Martinez's early paintings-experiments in the compositional technicality of still-lifes and landscapes-merged elements of works by the Mexican Muralists, Picasso and Surrealism. While his subjects recall Muralist's depictions of peasants and Mexico's pre-colonial history, the spatial dislocation and tonal, monochromatic colors elucidate compositions more akin to Surrealism. This unique painting, of two brick layers, proletarian pawns of industry, represents some of Martinez's strongest costumbrista-influenced oeuvre. Produced between 1954-1958, these works celebrate the everyday life of the peasantry and proletariat. In Martinez's evocation of the "forgotten laborer" through large, imposing figures that recall the monumentality of Pre-Columbian statuary and the social realism of the Mexican Muralists, he evokes the spirits of the past. The repetition of carrying bricks as an adobe “borro”, one of the most menial forms of manual labor is aggrandized. The massive figures, frozen in perfect juxtaposition with skin the color of the earthen bricks they carry, blend into the nebulous background of the same hue, recalling the Pre-Columbian builders of the ancient pyramids and ballcourts.

We wish to thank the foundation for their gracious assistance in the provenance research process. Provenance Galería de Arte Mexicano Private collection, New Orleans (1950s) Thence by descent Exhibited Mexico City, Galería de Arte Mexicano, Óleos de Ricardo Martínez, April 21 – May 22, 1954. Literature J. Fernandez, Catálogo de las exposiciones de arte en 1954, Anales Del Instituto De Investigaciones Esteticas, 1955, p. 22. Lot Essay An important and transformative oil painting by Mexican master Ricardo Martínez de Hoyos. Cargadores de Cal (The Lime Porters) bears crimson-brown ground layered in beige and gray pigments; a common characteristic for mid-century oil paintings by the artist. Depicted are three shrouded figures engaged in the manual transport of quicklime or limestone destined for kilning. Martínez uses a linear, almost geometric, approach to the porter’s garment, terminating in a shrouded expression and featureless eyes. Contrasting color has been thoughtfully used to create depth, atmosphere, and movement in each figure. In 1943 Martínez moved his studio from the family home to Mexico City’s Anzures neighborhood. During this time neighboring artist Federico Cantú had become a friend and artistic mentor to Martínez. Cantú introduces him to Galeria de Arte Mexicano (GAM) the same year. The gallery, then under direction of Inés Amor, would promote Martínez in eleven solo exhibitions spanning years 1944 – 1964. For the 1954 exhibition, titled “Óleos de Ricardo Martínez”, Galeria de Arte Mexicano presented twenty oil paintings.[1] Amidst Cargadores de Cal were a series of exemplary landscapes, portrayals of musicians, and scenes of local laborers.[2] In the mid-1960s, Martínez distanced himself from Mexico’s private art galleries, yet continued to exhibit his work within the country and abroad.[3], [4] Ricardo Martinez, largely a self-taught artist, drew inspiration from pre-Hispanic art forms. He was a consummate collector of artifacts and is known to have assembled over three-hundred Mesoamerican (primarily Olmec) pieces adorning his Etna Street studio.[5] The Lime Porters embodies the very beginning of Martínez’s costumbrismo phase: a movement portraying the local life of indigenous peoples, so often preoccupied by physical work or social activity. Earlier works by the artist explored the metaphysical, surreal, and sometimes ideological themes popularized by Mexican muralist contemporaries (e.g. José Clemente Orozco[6]). During the transitional period of the early 1950s, Martínez began to place great importance on the less literal, more stylized, character forms. He would expand the size of the canvas and bring his monumental figures to the foreground. We can best cite the emergence of this new style in Cargadores de Cal (1953) and again in Fumador en Rojo (1953).[7] Martínez continued to further develop his plástico[8] manifestations in the decades to come. In retrospective exhibition, the Museo de la Ciudad de México would define later periods by the “closeness to more platonic or archetypal human figures, in which the features and brushstrokes show that they are human figures, but there is no longer the reflection of a specific human race or its social status; it impacts only the human presence, primal”.[9] [1] R.

"Ricardo Martínez fue un artista reconocido a nivel nacional e internacional; un pintor cultísimo y de un temperamento reservado como pocos. El silencio fue para él una forma de ser y de vivir, pero también una metodología creativa; de ahí que fuera, asimismo, una magnitud presente en su imaginario, uno que expandió su poder de seducción por la vía ardua de la reiteración y el énfasis. Su cuadros cierran el espectáculo de producción de identidad que fue el arte moderno mexicano, y su enunciación mitologizante se encuentra, cara a cara y cuerpo a cuerpo, con la potencia desmedida de la prestidigitación perceptualista".

Esta pintura sufrió un percance por lo cual fue restaurada, perdiendo la firma. El carácter de universalidad, entendida como la creación de un orden totalizador y sin muerte, hace de Martínez un pintor clásico y el más significativo de nuestra actualidad artística. En su obra vienen a confluir las victorias aseguradas por muchas generaciones de pintores mexicanos, cuyas luchas y cuyas realizaciones alcanzan, a la vez que ponen en ella, un impulso último y un sentido. En su primera época, la poesía melancólica y quebradiza traspasaba sus cuadros e ilustraba anécdotas en exceso literarias que comenzaron a establecerse en formas cada vez más pictóricas.
