• Lot Description
  Jazzamoart (Mexico 1951). *This is a Museum Deaccession. Medium Oil on canvas Date 1996 Condition Report Good condition Provenance Provenance. Gift of the artist C/O Diane Binder, Erwin Binder & EBS Inc. Notes Jazzamoart Mexico b. Irapuato, Guanajuato, Mexico 1951 Javier Vázquez Estupiñán (born May 28, 1951) in Irapuato, Guanajuato – in 1971 adopted the pseudonym of Jazzamoart (jazz, love and art). Jazzamoart comes from a family of artists with his dad also being a painter and his first teacher. His exposure to music began early as well. His grandfather owned the most luxurious salon in Irapuato called El Lujo. One peculiarity of the establishment was that all the barbers played an instrument such as banjos and clarinets giving him some of his first exposure to jazz. While studying at the Academia de San Carlos through the eighties, Jazzamoart defined a very personal style which placed him in the Latin American plastic scene. He is a member of the generation of Mexican artists born in the 1950s. The focus on jazz was a way to help the young artist distinguish himself from his teachers of the Generación de la Ruptura. Carlos Montemayer calls him the third great painter out of the Bajío region of Guanajuato along with Diego Rivera and José Chávez Morado. His work has been described as Expressionist and figurative with an abstract quality. His influences include Picasso, Van Gogh, Rufino Tamayo, José Luis Cuevas and José Clemente Orozco. Elements from each of these can be seen in paintings with the music used as a unifying aspect. He has made scenographics and visual improvisations for the main exponents of international jazz, such as BB King, Ray Charles and Diana Krall. The gestural language of Jazzamoart allows sculpture and performance through his painting and generates emotions for both art experts and those who view his works for the first time. Jazzamoart has created oils, graphic art, ink, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, pencil and carbon drawings, sculptures in wood, metal and ceramics, toys, Judas figures, rug designs, masks, stage scenery, piñatas, Day of the Dead altars, and designs for boxes, suitcases, ties, dresses and furniture. Jazzamoart has shown his work in more than five hundred collective and individual exhibitions in museums and galleries across Latin America, the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Japan and his native Mexico. -https://galeriacorsica.com/artists/jazzamoart
