1601 - LEDESMA, CLARA (1924–1999) “Surreal Composition with Butterfly and Figures,” 1983, oil on panel. Signed and dated lower right: Clara Ledesma 1983. 148 x 125 cm. Frame, HxW: 170/141 cm. This large-format late work by the Dominican avant-garde artist Clara Ledesma, dating from 1983, is a masterful testament to her unmistakable “magical realism,” in which Afro-Caribbean mythology, European Surrealism, and a profound, feminine introspection are impressively intertwined. Against an atmospheric background shimmering in nuanced shades of green and turquoise, a stylized, bright red female figure dominates the center of the composition. Her profile is characterized by the almond-shaped, contemplative eyes so characteristic of Ledesma’s work. Behind her appears a two-faced, mask-like creature in cool shades of blue and violet—a recurring motif of the artist’s, reflecting themes of duality, the subconscious, and spiritual alter egos.
