It was great seeing Judithe Hernández and checking out her new show, “A Dream is the Shadow of Something Real” at the Museum of Latin American Art.
The intro text on the MOLAA site sums up her importance in the art world (read below).
Judithe Hernández, The Birth of Eve/El nacimiento de Eva (The Adam & Eve Series), 2010. Pastel on paper, 30 x 44 inches
Judithe Hernández is a founding figure of Los Angeles muralism, who, after many years as an exhibiting artist in Chicago, maintains a prolific studio and public art practice in L.A. This exhibition presents recent pastels on paper by Hernández, including the recent acquisition Les Demoiselles d’Barrio (2013), a feminist interpretation of Picasso’s Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907). Hernández’ work can be found in important museums and collections across the U.S. This will mark the first solo exhibition of a Chicana artist at MOLAA.
The show opened on Saturday, August 11, 2018 and runs until February 17, 2019. You have plenty of time to get to know some of her work.
