Anthericum maurum, une espéce méconnue en Europe

En España se han señalado dos poblaciones de Anthericum maurum Rothm. Esta especie representa un endemismo bético-rifeño. Em parentados con los Anthericum centro y autroafricano por la estructura de su inflorescencia, este pertenece, por lo tanto, al grupo de las especies euro-norteafricanas pro su número básico de cromosomas (x=15). Anthericum maurum y A. baeticum (Boiss.) Boiss. son parcialmente simpátridas.

Women artists of the international avant-garde: the case of "Abstraction-Création" (1931-1936)

Women’s contribution to abstract art in the interwar period is a subject that, to date, has received very little attention. In this article we deal with the untold story of the participation of women artists in Abstraction-Création, the foremost international group dedicated to abstract art in the 1930s. Founded in Paris in 1931, the group took on the work of two previous collectives to become a platform for the dissemination and promotion of abstract art and consisted of around a hundred members. Twelve of these were women, whose writings and works were published in the group’s annual magazine, abstraction creátion art non figuratif (1932-1936), and who participated in a number of the group’s exhibitions. Compared to what had occurred in previous groups, the participation of women, although reduced in number, was comparable to that of the male artists and being members of the group had a generally positive impact on the women’s careers. However, all this came at the expense of relinquishing any gender specificity in their work and the public presentation of it, and demonstrates that the normalization of women’s contributions to the avant-garde could only be brought about alongside a questioning of the more dogmatic views of modernity.
