Contributed by Katarina Wong / In Zilia Snchezs retrospective currently on view at The Phillips Collection, a video shows her on the beach, casting one of her shaped paintings Soy Isla (I Am an Island) into the waves. This piece sets the tone for an exceptional exhibition from a fiercely independent artist. Born in Cuba in 1926, and continuing to work in Puerto Rico, Snchez makes drawings and paintings embedding the experience of being surrounded by the sea. Her work exudes the vulnerability as well as the power and resiliency that comes from of being self-reliant and self-contained. The show comprises more than 60 of her pieces, including the early intricate line drawings that she revisited throughout her career, sometimes incorporating them into flat paintings and later onto her sculptural canvases.
In the early work, Snchezs curiosity seemed boundless. She made a series of paintings thickly encrusted with dirt and paint around the same time she was making her flat paintings and drawings. In pieces like Tierra (The Earth), she incorporated the land under her feet into the painting itself.

In a documentary shown in the exhibition (and viewable on the Phillips Collection website), Snchez recalls the inspiration for this work. When her father was on his deathbed, she stepped out of his room to collect herself and saw a white sheet flapping against a protruding pipe. She noticed how a new shape emerged. The interview makes it clear that her memory of this moment is still tinged with sadness, but that it also caused her to think of her work differently.
Ive always considered that in the erotic there is a beauty, a sense, Snchez states in the documentary. The erotic is an undeniable current that runs through her work. She often incorporates pairs of shapes, which represent what she describes as equilibrium and unity. Sometimes they seem to clasp one another as in Lunar V (Moon V) or to merge into hidden slit-like spaces.
Snchez often references heroic women from history and transforms them into iconic forms. Troyanas (Trojan Women), a multiple-panel piece, calls to mind the waves that beat against the shores of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Greek isles. They can also be read as breasts or thorns that stick out sharply, daring to be touched. Like the waters that surround those islands, the shapes have the power to protect or inflict damage.
In a room tucked in the back, Snchezs only self-portrait hangs alongside work by her artistic influences. In this drawing, her nude body fills the frame in a runner-like pose. A wild mane of hair flows atop her head like a flame. Shes wedged between the background and the foreground, both covered in the tattoo markings seen in her later paintings. Despite the dynamic energy of the piece, her face is calm but intent, her eyes focused on the future. The drawing conveys the resilience that Snchez has drawn upon throughout her life, most poignantly in the last two years when Hurricane Irma bore down on her home and studio in San Juan.
Like the islands that shape her identity and work, Snchez has weathered storms and droughts, her work overlooked until recently. Still, Snchez remains fierce like her Troyanas, deeply rooted in her vision, and, like the islands she loves, she endures.

In conjunction with the exhibition a catalogue will be published with an essay by Irene V. Small, Assistant Professor of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University, with a Modern and Contemporary art and transnational focus. Archival images of Sánchez, works both included and not included in the exhibition, and a chronology of Sánchez written by Marimar Benítez, an esteemed art historian from Puerto Rico, will also add to the publication.
S?nchez is flying south again on Wednesday and will attend a forum of business leaders from both countries in Rabat. On Thursday, he will sit down with Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, a billionaire businessman who won a 2021 election and is considered close to Mohammed VI.
This will be first meeting since 2015 with such a large delegation of ministries represented. S?nchez is taking along his ministers in charge of the economy, energy, foreign affairs, security and policing, agriculture, commerce, transport and migration, among others.

In the present work a methodology was developed to determine the effect of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic on in vitro callus induction from leaves in rocoto cv. Serrano. Were used seedlings rocoto cv. Serrano germÃnate in vitro, and subsequently the youngest leaves were selected, which were sectioned and placed in the different culture media. Five treatments with different concentrations of 2,4-D were evaluated. The best results were obtained with treatments T4 and T5 for the callus induction in 21 days allowed 72% callus proliferation.Keywords: open access; Juniper publishers agriculture open access journals; agriculture peer reviewed journals; sustainable agriculture peer reviewed journals; agriculture research journal; agricultural sciences open access journal; open access journals of agriculture; agriculture journals impact factor; agriculture academic journals; agriculture journals by impact factor; agricultural engineering journals; juniper publishers review (search for similar items in EconPapers)JEL-codes: R00 Z0 (search for similar items in EconPapers)Date: 2019References: Add references at CitEc Citations: Track citations by RSS feedDownloads: (external link) (application/pdf) (text/html)Related works:This item may be available elsewhere in EconPapers: Search for items with the same title.Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/TextPersistent link: :adp:artoaj:v:23:y:2019:i:3:p:280-284DOI: 10.19080/ARTOAJ.2019.23.5556229Access Statistics for this articleAgricultural Research & Technology: Open Access Journal is currently edited by Sophia MathisMore articles in Agricultural Research & Technology: Open Access Journal from Juniper Publishers Inc.Bibliographic data for series maintained by Robert Thomas (Obfuscate( 'juniperpublishers.com', 'support' )). var addthis_config = "data_track_clickback":true; var addthis_share = url:" :adp:artoaj:v:23:y:2019:i:3:p:280-284"Share This site is part of RePEc and all the data displayed here is part of the RePEc data set.
