Description

Painting by Candida Alvarez, Sit, Stand & Kneel, acrylic and gel medium on canvas, 63" x 76.25", 1986). The image illustrates a key early body of work in Candida Alvarez's career in the 1980s, when she produced largely representational, single and multi-panel narrative paintings, which focused on identity, family, city life and her Puerto Rican heritage. These paintings, such as the three-panel, altar-piece-like work pictured, mixed portraiture, landscape, written words and personal iconography and often portrayed passive, dutiful, wary or increasingly powerful female protagonists as they navigated roles and identities. These works were publicly exhibited in prominent venues and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key eraly body of work in Candida Alvarez's career in the 1980s: her single and multi-panel figurative and narrative paintings, which focused on identity, family and city life. These largely representational paintings drew on her personal experiences and Puerto Rican heritage, mixing portraiture, landscape, written words and personal iconography and often portraying family members. Critics characterized the colorful and imagery-laden works as introspective, moody, emotionally charged and reminiscent of magic realism, naïve art or confessional poetry, and the art of Marc Chagall and Paul Klee. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this foundational early stage and body of work, which brought Alvarez initial recognition through exhibitions in major venues and coverage by major critics and publications. Alvarez's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
