"El proyecto que Bosco Caride presenta en el MARCO de Vigo significa un cambio de orientación con respecto a sus primeros trabajos al mismo tiempo que la culminación de unos intereses que han alumbrado toda su trayectoria. Se trata de una obra basada en los matices de color, pero que expresa también contenidos profundos, que se entiende como un espacio de meditación, lo que la vincula a toda una tradición contemporánea que va del romanticismo a los monocromos de Mark Rothko. Desde sus inicios, el trabajo de Bosco Caride ha sabido conciliar en una fecunda síntesis dualidades o contrarios. Binomios que la historia del arte ha tratado habitualmente como incompatibles o enfrentados: fotografía/pintura, forma/contenido, belleza/siniestro, representación/abstracción..." — Jaume Vidal Oliveras, comisario de la exposición. La exposición de Bosco Caride gira en torno a un solo y único motivo: estados atmosféricos o gaseosos (nubes, humo, vapores...) que se presentan sin ninguna referencia espacial o contexto. Para el artista, este tema es una afirmación de la pintura y se relaciona con la gran tradición del paisaje. Turner, Constable, por citar a los pioneros, que al igual que generaciones posteriores y los impresionistas, se inspiraron en las nubes y descubrieron en ellas una dimensión plástica. En efecto, Bosco Caride trabaja cuidadosamente estos ‘estados atmosféricos o gaseosos’ en tanto que composición, veladuras, color... al fin y al cabo, como especulación formal o pictórica, que es uno de los aspectos más sobresalientes de su obra. Sin embargo, el título de la exposición, Indicios, literalmente “señal de algo”, “índice”, introduce la idea de “algo” más que un mero formalismo o una expresión abstracta. Este algo no es visible y está oculto en el cuadro —o fuera de él—, pero es la causa real del “humo”, que no es otra que la explosión, el drama, el conflicto, la contaminación... En definitiva, existe una dimensión simbólica, acaso política, que da sentido y sobrevuela la obra de Bosco Caride. La de Caride es una obra abierta que posee muchos niveles de lectura porque sus “efectos atmosféricos o gaseosos”, como la noche o las nieblas del norte para los románticos, no son una ausencia, sino una producción de sentido: es el mundo de la sugerencia o la llave de la imaginación. Pero sobre todo, por esta misma razón, Bosco Caride responde a la idea del arte como contemplación. Él se identifica con una tradición contemporánea que, aunque con diferentes sensibilidades, entiende la pintura como reflexión, un espacio de silencio, un diálogo cara a cara con la obra de arte.

I featured Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko (1903 – 1970) in a previous blog post back in July 2010. However, I thought I’d revisit and extend it a bit in the context of the current posts on mid-century painters. Rothko was born in Dvinsk, Russia (now Latvia). In 1913 he left Russia and settled with the rest of his family in Portland, Oregon. Rothko attended Yale University, New Haven, on a scholarship from 1921 to 1923. That year he left Yale without receiving a degree and moved to New York. In 1925 he studied under Max Weber at the Art Students League. He participated in his first group exhibition at the Opportunity Galleries, New York, in 1928. During the early 1930s Rothko became a close friend of Milton Avery and Adolph Gottlieb. His first solo show took place at the Portland Art Museum in 1933. Rothko’s first solo exhibition in New York was held at the Contemporary Arts Gallery in 1933. In 1935 he was a founding member of the Ten, a group of artists sympathetic to abstraction and Expressionism. He executed easel paintings for the WPA Federal Art Project from 1936 to 1937. By 1936 Rothko knew Barnett Newman. In the early 1940s he worked closely with Gottlieb, developing a painting style with mythological content, simple flat shapes, and imagery inspired by primitive art. By mid-decade his work incorporated Surrealist techniques and images. Peggy Guggenheim gave Rothko a solo show at Art of This Century in New York in 1945. In 1947 and 1949 Rothko taught at the California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco, where Clyfford Still was a fellow instructor. With William Baziotes, David Hare, and Robert Motherwell, Rothko founded the short-lived Subjects of the Artist school in New York in 1948. The late 1940s and early 1950s saw the emergence of Rothko’s mature style, in which frontal, luminous rectangles seem to hover on the canvas surface. In 1958 the artist began his first commission, monumental paintings for the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave Rothko an important solo exhibition in 1961. He completed murals for Harvard University in 1962 and in 1964 accepted a mural commission for an interdenominational chapel in Houston. Rothko took his own life on February 25, 1970, in his New York studio. A year later the Rothko Chapel in Houston was dedicated. 1944-46 Untitled 1945-46 Untitled 1946-47 Untitled 1947 Untitled 1948 No.1 (Untitled) 1949 No.3/No.13 1949 Untitled (Violet, Black, Orange, Yellow on White and Red) 1950 No.5/No.22 1950 Untitled 1950 White Centre 1954 Red, Orange, Tan and Purple 1957 Light Red Over Black 1958 Black on Maroon 1959 Black on Maroon 1959 Red on Maroon 1960-61 Untitled 1961 No.14 (Horizontals, White over Darks) 1968 Untitled 1969 Untitled 1969-1970 Untitled
