Mario Carreño (Havana, 1913 - Santiago de Chile, 1999).
Mario Carreño had a Cuban origin, but was later nationalized as a Chilean and got our National Arts Award in 1982. Of all the foreigners that have ever looked for shelter in our country, he is one of those who gave back the most. His legacy can be appreciated until May 30 at the Artes Visuales Museum (MAVI), thanks to the exhibit "Mario Carreño: Retrospectiva 1939-1993", the most complete collection of his work to be ever showed in Chile.
Paintings, sculptures, drawings, collages and some of the artist´s objects reflect the diverse styles in which Carreño succesfully worked, including abstraction, informalism and surrealism, among others. Beatriz Huidobro was in charge of the exhibit´s curatory and investigation. The wide period that is covered allows to value the artist´s large experience and the deep connection between his work, his living and the time´s events.
A cosmopolitan painter Mario Carreño was born in Havana, Cuba, on June 24th, 1913. During the decade of the thirties, he starts studying at the San Alejandro Academy, and then travels to Madrid (1932) to study at the San Fernando School. In 1934 he meets Pablo Neruda and his circle of intelectual friends: Rafael Alberti, Federico García Lorca, Acario Cotapos and Manuel Altoaguirre, among others. Due to the Spanish Civil War he moves to Mexico, where he gets to meet that time´s most important muralists: Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco. That´s how the mural becomes part of his work, as well as sensing for the first time the importance of introducing Latin American identity to his art. Carreño continues his studies at Paris' Julien Academy, where he organizes his first exhibit, which gets the first good comments in France´s artist circle. Second World War motivates his moving to New York City, where he lives for more than a decade. Between 1951 and 1954 he goes back to Havana to work as a teacher. In 1958, the events around the Cuban Revolution decide Carreño to move to Chile, mainly because of his friendship with Neruda and Universidad de Chile´s invitation to give some Art Courses. His staying in Chile extends until his death, on December 20th, 1999. Legacy With the passing of time, Mario Carreño became a remarkable name in Chile´s cultural and artistic fields. He was not only involved in the foundation of Universidad Catolica´s School of Arts, but also to the teaching in several study centers and the creation of public works such as the murals at the San Ignacio School, the Casiño of Viña del Mar and Rancagua´s Hospital del Trabajador (1983). He exposed in several countries and his paintings are now part of the collection of the world´s most important museums and galleries, including New York´s MOMA, the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Caracas Bellas Artes Museum, the Havana Museum, France´s Musée d'Art Moderne of Ceret, Argentina´s Museo de La Plata, Washington´s Latin American Museum of Modern Art and Miami´s Metropolitan Museum.
Chile´s northern landscape was, for him, a constant motif. There are paintings such as <i>Aurora de volcanes</i> (Volcanoes´ Dusk), <i>Tierra de volcanes</i> (Volcanoes' Land) and <i>Silencio cordillerano</i> (Mountain Silence). He also made a series of paintings based on women that face the sea, and which were directly inspired by the figureheads that Pablo Neruda used to keep in his coastal house of Isla Negra. Mario Carreño never left his native caribbean spirit, working the exhuberant, the sensual and the warm tones.
