THE SCOTTISH COLOURISTS:
THOSE MODERNISTS!
TUESDAY 30th MARCH 2021 – 17:00 HOURS (UK TIME)
After the so-called Glasgow Boys, another group of Scottish artists came to the light. They are called The Scottish Colourists because their identity was precisely that: vibrant colours. They all lived and worked in Paris, travelling back home every winter. Scotland had and has a strong relationship with France. Fergusson said that being in Paris was like being at home because they were also Celts. Their work was striking and thanks to them, British art was high in the market. As it happens, while the world was acclaiming their art, in Scotland and England they were highly criticised. During their lifetimes they only exhibited together three times.

LA DIVINA MARCHESA: LUISA CASATI
TUESDAY 27TH APRIL 2021 – 17:00 HOURS (UK TIME)
Luisa Casati scandalised the European society by hosting memorable parties at her fabulous palace in Venice (which was bought by Peggy Guggenheim in 1949). She became famous for walking her cheetahs wearing only her Cartier jewellery (specially designed for her) and expensive long fur coats in the middle of the Venetian night…but beyond her eccentric ways of living her life, she was a patroness of the visual arts and was – in many ways – ahead of her time. She commissioned portraits of herself to the most important painters and sculptors of her time. She used to say: I want to be a living work of art…and she was!

LATIN AMERICAN LITERARY BOOM: WHAT IS IT?
The Latin American boom is a literary phenomenon that emerged between the 1960s and 1970s and consisted of the emergence of the Latin American narrative, with works that spread throughout the world, turning their independent and relatively young authors into literature icons.
These writers were influenced by the modernist and avant-garde movements of the 20th century (especially by European surrealism) to challenge the literary conventions of the time through neologisms, profanities, and inappropriate language.
The birth of the so-called “Magic-Realism”
The fusion between fiction and reality generated doubt in the reader, like “magical realism” that tried to show the strange as something every day.
“Magic realism” turned out to be a way of explaining political, economic and social events. The authors took the quiet voice of the people in order to express their feelings and feelings before a turbulent reality, and immersed them in stories with somewhat fanciful and unreal overtones. Such is the case of “One Hundred Years of Solitude” the work of Gabriel García Márquez. The novels reflected their own style in which stories that took place in urban spaces influenced by the political and social conditions of the Latin American countries where their authors originated predominate. The narrative time could begin at the end of the story and then jump without respecting the linearity of events.
