Analysis of a painting by Manuel Colmeiro II

- Within the framework of the new

avant-gardes, Colmeiro already created in

the late 1950s a new iconography related to

the work of women in traditional peasant

life. One of these jobs is Lavandeiras

(‘Washerwomen’).

- In this painting these women are

represented from a minimal definition in

their forms, disappearing the lines that

previously gave them volume and immersed in

a space that is not real.

- Here, colour is in charge of building the

forms, something that is accentuated by

dispensing with the representation of the

facial features or the details of the

clothes.

Title: Lavandeiras

Year of creation: 1967

Technique: oil on canvas

Dimensions: Height = 51 cm; Width = 65 cm
