      Ricardo Martinez de Hoyos (1918-2009, Mexican) Woman in veil, 1969 Oil on canvas Signed lower right: Ricardo Martinez 16" H x 12" W Provenance: Galeria Arvil, Mexico City, Mexico The Carolyn J. Adrian Collection, South Pasadena, CA, acquired from the above, 1981 Notes: Ricardo Martínez de Hoyos was a Mexican painter born to a large family in Mexico City comprising of 16 siblings, five of whom would pursue a career in fields related to the fine arts. From a very young age, he had to earn an income by painting to help his family. His knowledge of painting was self-taught. He learned from research books, of which Max Doerner's "The Materials of the Artist" stands out. His 1934 English language edition of the book revealed him the secrets of the technique. Ricardo Martínez de Hoyos then had the support of Federico Cantú, who took him to Inés Amor's Gallery of Mexican Art, where he was allowed to sell his paintings and learn new techniques and styles by 1940. His first works were still-life paintings, followed by non-narrative monumental figures related to Pre-Colombian sculpture. He had his first art exhibit in Guadalajara, Jalisco in 1942. His works were among the "Master Works of Mexican Art" exhibit sent to several European countries and the United States between 1961 and 1963. At the end of the 1960s, Martínez created surreal atmospheres in his works by using light and shadow. In 1971, he received the Moinho Santista Award at the São Paulo Art Biennial. Among his most important art exhibits, his work was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City in 1969 and 1974, and at the Museum of the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City in 1984 and 1994. Martínez passed away in January 2009 in Mexico City, Mexico.

      Ricardo Martinez de Hoyos, "The Lime Porters"

      Est: $50,000 - $80,000

      Ricardo Martínez De Hoyos (1918-2009) Cargadores de Cal, 1953 Oil on canvas 148 x 90 cm (58.3 x 35.4 in.)   This work has been registered with Fundación Ricardo Martínez (FRM000769). 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.

      Oil on canvas C 1980 Ricardo Martínez de Hoyos (October 28, 1918 – January 11, 2009) was a Mexican painter noted for his figurative work on unreal atmospheres. He was one of several children from a very large family to make a mark in his field, along with Oliverio in sculpture and Jorge in acting. His work was exhibited in various parts of the world, featured in collective tours of Mexican art. Individually, he exhibited mostly in Mexico including important venues such as the Museo de Arte Moderno and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, which held a tribute to the artist in 1994. Since his death, a cultural center named after him has been established in the historic center of Mexico City.

Adquirido en Christie's, Nueva York, mayo de 1994, lote 69. Con etiqueta de Christie's y fragmento de etiqueta del Museo de Arte Moderno. Ricardo Martínez es considerado como uno de los exponentes más sólidos de la riqueza cultural Mexicana. Fue un artista que logró articular en su obra una maestría técnica y una profunda imaginería plástica, que ha sido ampliamente reconocida por el gremio a nivel internacional. Su formación artística no fue producto de estudios académicos, ya que era renuente a cumplir con los sistemas institucionales, así que optó por ser autodidacta y abrevar en la obra de los grandes artistas ya consagrados. A pesar de haber viajado a Europa y estudiado la obra de los viejos y modernos maestros, Ricardo Martínez nunca se sustrajo de la influencia de la llamada Escuela Mexicana de Pintura, realizando cuadros con narrativas nacionales. Además de la pintura de caballete, creó diseños para escenarios para ballet e ilustró libros de Alfonso Reyes y Juan Rulfo. Dentro de la modernidad de su pintura, siempre siguió siendo un clásico, un artista protagonista de su tiempo que comunicó un lenguaje universal. Fuentes consultadas: BONIFAZ NUÑO, Rubén.

Ricardo Martínez fue un pintor sumamente culto y un excelente dibujante con una metodología creativa que lo identifico como uno de los mejores representantes del arte moderno mexicano. En su juventud, observó con detenimiento el trabajo de Francisco Zúñiga, influencia que marcó de manera definitiva su estilo artístico, especialmente se aprecia en la robustez con la que representaba la figura femenina. También, la silueta de las piezas precolombinas de las culturas Maya y Olmeca determinó el carácter plástico que encierra su pintura. Actualmente su obra es reconocida a nivel nacional e internacional y deseada por numerosos coleccionistas. Fuente consultada: MARTÍNEZ LÁMBARRY, Margarita.

Con dedicatoria "a Rubén de su agradecido amigo". (N. Ciudad de México, 1918 - Ciudad de México, 2009) "En Ricardo Martínez, en el primer contacto, nos sorprende la pulcritud de la composición, la economía de medios; y reconocemos que para su claridad nada sobra, ni para aquella que va surgiendo del influjo de la contemplación. Y esa pulcritud y esa economía van mostrando lo que es opulenta suma de detalles privativos de la pintura. Energía que nos conturba y pone en movimiento a la imaginación que toma conciencia de la honda verdad de la pintura, de lo que desborda de la mera identidad textual del objeto, en una imagen diestramente conseguida. La obra de Ricardo Martínez es dueña, en alto grado, de tal excelencia". Luis Cardoza y Aragón. Véase: MUÑOZ, Miguel Ángel, et al. "Atmósferas. Ricardo Martínez". México.
