Portrait of the Painter Frank Haviland
(Ritratto del pittore Frank Haviland), 1914
Oil on cardboard, 73 x 60 cm
Gianni Mattioli Collection
Long-term loan to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
This vivid portrait, painted in Paris in the second half of 1914, marks Amedeo Modigliani’s return to painting after a period of five years dedicated to sculpture. The sitter, Frank Burty Haviland, was a wealthy English amateur: a poet, a collector of African art, and a painter of small talent, who occupied a large studio near to Picasso’s and was known disparagingly to his friends as “Le Riche.” The red cravat and brown (velvet?) jacket, the aquiline noise, small mouth, and central parting of the hair, with curls, generate the aura of a Wildean aesthete. Standing before a window and with lowered eyes, he contemplates his pipe. Modigliani has surely elongated the curiously bell-shaped head.

MANUEL ELÍAS ROLANDO ELÍAS
AMOR FILIAL, AMOR AL ARTE
La muestra es un recorrido por un periodo de la historia del arte salvadoreño, a través de la sempiterna conversación cómplice entre los hermanos Elías, sus voces plasmadas en la obra pictórica de Manuel y en los poemas de Rolando. Una oportunidad de explorar y descubrir la obra de estos artistas y del tiempo y espacio en el cual existieron y crearon.
A través de su creación artística y de los testimonios de sus amigos, colegas, artistas contemporáneos, quienes nos cuentan anécdota, historias de la década de los 60’-70’, en la cual se departía un ambiente al estilo de los movimientos artísticos europeos, en los cafés de Paris, Viena, Praga…y en los cafés y bares del centro del viejo San Salvador: Skandia, Central, Alcázar, Bella Nápoles…un centro de actividad artístico, intelectual, delimitando entre la plaza Morazán y la Plaza Libertad.
Ambos artistas compartían la cualidad de ser observadores agudos de la realidad, en silencio y reservados, ser un observador requiere circunspección y estar fuera del protagonismo, de la luz de candilejas.
La búsqueda en Manuel de la perfección estética es patente en la ejecución de las diferentes técnicas que explora: acuarela, dibujo, pintura, escultura; experimentando con diversos materiales; piedra, madera, oleo, acrílico, tinta, y explorando el tratamiento de temas diversos: bodegones, paisajes abstractos, retaros, desnudos, flores, jardines, incluso en el diseño de muebles y artesanías.
Paralelamente a su preocupación estética en las artes plásticas, en admiración por su hermano simbióticamente, escribe y publica historias, cuentos, crítica artística, revistas y se autodenomina “escribidor”.
Consiente con su carácter reservado, retador, escribe, y a veces firma sus cuadros bajo seudónimos, con Rolando compartiendo el misterio: Juan Caminos, Genaro Rojas, Domingo Urbano y otros más…
Su compromiso y comunión con la vida de artista se manifiesta en su “activismo” por el arte y la cultura con la creación de galerías y centros culturales como la “Galería Centro” y “La Rendija”, en donde promueve y exhibe muestras de sus colegas artistas, conversatorios, lecturas de poemas, presentación de escritores, música, etc.
Además tomando parte en la formación de movimientos artísticos desde “Mancha nueva” hasta la “Real Orden de los locos de octubre”.
Los hermanos comparten trazos de carácter y temperamento: discretos, reservados, huraños. Y entretienen entre ellos una relación de simbiosis artística de complicidad creativa.
Rolando periodista en los mayores periódicos nacionales, escribe columnas, notas periodísticas, artículos y comentarios sobre arte. Pero es en la escritura de sus ensayos y poemas que excede su sensibilidad y espiritualidad: en su colección de poemas “cantata de mayo” en donde nos da testimonio de la revelación de Dios en la naturaleza. En los sonetos de “La rosa en la guerra” de su obra “La celebración de la rosa”, nos aporta otro rostro de realidad transfigurada por la emoción. En su “Homenaje a Fray Luis de León” ahonda en la atmosfera de su temperamento místico, y como varios pensadores místicos, aporta nuevos aspectos a la verdad, porque vislumbra su rostro desde diferentes ángulos. Remarcable es el hecho que escribió estos sonetos en plena guerra. Cabe citar a Octavio Paz: “la misión de la poesía es sacar a la luz lo que esta oculto en los pliegues del tiempo”.
Con esta Retrospectiva se consuma un doble objetivo, cumplir con la misión de la Sala nacional de ofrecer arte y cultura al publico salvadoreño, y apoyar el proceso de recuperar y salvaguardar la historia del arte en El Salvador.

Have you seen the blog Adorable? It is the life in art of a precious little girl named Adora. Her parents have posted photos since her birth a few years ago and invited artists to use them in their art form. I believe around a thousand artists have rendered her now. There is a wish list of subjects her parents would like to see. I chose to do Modigliani. I'm sure I will do more!

Artist:
Amedeo Modigliani
Italian, 1884–1920
ABOUT THIS ARTWORK
After receiving his artistic training in Italy, the sculptor and painter Amedeo Modigliani moved to Paris in 1906. Three years later, he helped pioneer a general migration of artists to the neighborhood of Montparnasse, which remained the center of avant-gard activity in the city until World War II. Scores of artists lived there, and many of them shared a Jewish heritage—including Modigliani and his friend the Lithuanian-born sculptor Jacques Lipchitz.
Lipchitz commissioned Modigliani to paint this portrait on the occasion of his marriage to the Russian poet Berthe Kitrosser, as a way of helping his troubled friend financially. The double portrait is one of only three in the artist’s oeuvre and, according to Lipchitz, took two days to paint. Modigliani made about twenty drawings on the first day; the next day, he declared the picture finished. At the modest price of what Lipchitz remembered as “ten francs per sitting and a little alcohol,” however, he persuaded Modigliani to work on the portrait for another two weeks in an effort to provide more financial assistance to his friend. Despite Modigliani’s exceptional talent, his work found a market only after his death in 1920, which was hastened by tuberculosis and his legendary bohemian lifestyle.
