"The Tree of Life Series", 1977
|
|
|
Ana Mendieta was born in 1948 in Havana Cuba. She became one of the first Performance Artists to do silueta work.
As a young girl who left Cuba and her family she choose to do radical art, perhaps mimicing what her life had been.
She quotes, "The turning point in art was in 1972 when I realized that my paintings were not real enough for what I wanted
my images to have power, to be magic." This is what inspired Ana to create the "Tree of Life Series" in 1977. Her intention
was to "show the essential equivalence between femaleness and natural process such as birth and growth. In this particluar
piece, Mendieta coated her body with mud and grasses and stood against ancient tree trunks. Her intention was to "show
the essential equivalence between femaleness and natural process such as birth and growth."
