Description
Armando Amaya
(Mexican, b. 1935)
"Mujer Flexionada Sonriendo", 1988
carved black marble
incised signature and dated at back, on an integral shaped black plinth.
overall h. 19-1/4", w. 18", d. 15"
Provenance: Pasquale Iannetti Art Galleries, Inc., San Francisco, California; Estate of Jean and Jack Kelley, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Notes: A native of Mexico City, Amaya attended the Escuela Nacional de Pinture, Escultura y Grabado - later known as La Esmeralda - where he studied with Jose Luis Ruiz (1903-?) and Francesco Zuniga (1912-1998), eventually serving as the latter's studio assistant for several years. In 1969, Amaya was named a professor of the School, a position he held for many years. His sculptures, with their slightly abstracted solid limbs and exaggerated curves, are explorations of the dignity and power of the female form. Amaya's artistic approach incorporates his strict Academic training, his appreciation for the artifacts of his native region, and his respect for his subjects.
