Marina González Eme – I’m Lost (2014)

Eme’s work includes ostensible nods to Egon Schiele.

More than that what stands out to me is the essential Spanish-ness of the work–specifically influence by Picasso and Miró.

Eme sidesteps much of the earlier work–instead engaging with the figurative styling of Picasso’s mid-career work (think Guernica and Massacre in Korea) filtered retroactively through the earlier more strictly cubist output. (Bottle of Anis del Mono filtered through a super concentrated examination of Fernand Léger might as as well be the template for Eme’s Black III.)

However, what’s even more striking is when you consider the interplay between the use of space and line (also: the interplay between the two) as it pertains to compositional form in the context of the influence of Miró.
