Capricorne, José Maria [Leben und Werk]
Abstract:
José Maria Capricorne, born in Curaçao in 1932, is one of the classic artists of the modern Caribbean. His vigorous lines and colourful figures communicate with an energetic and mobile imaginary that relates to a world full of popular interpretations of daily life. The points of reference for Capricorne are the natural environment and the history of the Caribbean. This book is the second monograph, published in English, on Capricorne's work.Valdemar Marcha has written a comprehensive introductory essay about social cohesion in Curaçao. And Ineke Phaf Rheinberger presents some co-ordinates for the interpretation of Capricorne's Braziliana series, first exhibited in the Galerie Forum Berlin am Meer (February 4 - March 20, 2005).
