Toro de Baro y Llama de Madera

Julia Codesido was born in Lima. In 1919 she entered the just founded School of Beaux Arts doing her studies under the teaching of Master Daniel Hernandez and later with painting teacher Jose Sabogal. She was an admirer of Mr. Sabogal and practiced the doctrine of the national “Indigenous Movements” although the followers of the Sabogal-oriented aesthetic thinking detested that relation because they considered it “limited”.


Frutera Ayacuchana 1933

The painting of this artist was known for its surprising strength that outranked his male colleagues and for its unique way within the sustained margins regarding themes and techniques by the followers of the indigenous culture. Julia Codesido had the energy of expression with delicate aspects of chromatism that although they transcribe the preset norms to her followers by the Sabogal tendency, they also show, as an independent, robust and capable spirit of over flying the hidden attitude of a dogmatic limitation. She surpassed this circumstance by using her strong personality. We can mention three phases of evolution in her paintings.


Nativity

First, those years from the 1920’s to 1935 when she was influenced by her master: hard stroke, bordered of width, black features, angled face features, big eyes of deep ad firm pupil, all that in glorification at the type of the half-breed between indigenous and Spaniard. Toward 1935 appears the influence of the Mexican mural style: Heads of big size that remind the same type that Siqueiros painted and compositions with reminiscent of a Siqueiros mixed bag, and of Greco, as we can see it in the painting “The prayer in the garden” in which a group of sleepy Apostles of sort of Mexican type conception, appeared completed by the dawn praying figure of Christ, similar in theme, title, composition and colorful to the namesake of Cretan in the Budapest Museum of Beaux Arts.


Devout with a Candle

This is an indication, as in her mind, of the spirit wide range and her operations further than the frontier of the national theme. And she is exactly the only one of the indigenous group that let her extend to renovating tendencies of the plastic arts without abandon her primitive and Loyal relations. Some of her outstanding paintings are:

  • Caballito de Totora Amarillo(Little horse from Totora Amarilla)
  • Morena Limeña (Brunette from Lima)
  • Desnuda echada (Laid Nude)
  • Elevación (Elevation)
