Description
Private Collection 9.5"x 7.5"Attrib. with certificate Amelia Peláez was born in 1896 in Yaguajay, in the former Cuban province of Las Villas (now Sancti SpÃritus Province). In 1915, her family moved to Havana, to the La VÃbora district, and this gave her the opportunity to enter the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes "San Alejandro" at the rather late age of 20 years (students at this academy usually start at 12–13 years of age). She was among Leopoldo Romañach's favourite students. In 1924 she graduated from San Alejandro, and exhibited her paintings for the first time, along with another Cuban female painter, MarÃa Pepa Lamarque, at the Association of Painters and Sculptors in Havana. Receiving a small government grant, she travelled to New York City in the Summer of 1924 and began six months of study at the Art Students' League. In 1927, after being awarded a larger grant, she began studying in France, while paying short visits to Spain, Italy, and other countries.
