Summary of Joaquín Clausell

Clausell is Mexico's pre-eminent Impressionists. He paintings covered the sweep of his country's rich landscape - from its national parks and canals to its oceans - which he made his own through his inclination toward bold experimentations with color. He used impressionist strokes and (increasingly) rich color contrasts but, unlike the French Impressionists (from whom he took his initial inspiration), he was not interested in representing the day-to-day activities of modern Mexican life. Indeed, human figures rarely feature in his works at all. His status as a landscapist gives the viewer no hint at all of his dual status as a lawyer and outspoken political activist (which saw him jailed on more than one occasion). However, he did leave behind a striking fresco on his studio walls that tell us that he engaged privately with themes carrying political, personal, and symbolic overtones.

Accomplishments

• Although he did not start to paint seriously until his mid-30s, and did not, in fact, consider himself a professional painter at all (refusing, for the most part, to actively promote his work), Clausell is estimated that he left behind some 400 paintings. These have come to define Mexican Impressionism and, later, Post-Impressionism and have allowed Clausell to jockey with his predecessor, José María Velasco, for the position of Mexico's greatest modern landscapist.
• Clausell preferred to occupy the fringes of the contemporary Mexican art scene and shied away from publicity and self-promotion. His impressionistic style, which saw him paint on canvas, wood, and cardboard with a brush and/or spatula, did overlap with the beginnings of the famous Mexican Muralist movement and Clausell shared with them their socio-political concerns. But his political activism never carried over into his art which was inspired by the natural beauty of Tlalpan, the lakes of Iztacalco and Xochimilco, and Mexico's Pacific Coast.
• In Clausell's later works he

Mexican lawyer, artist and political activist (1866-1935)

Joaquín Quirico Marcelino Clausell Traconis (June 16, 1866 – November 28, 1935) was a Mexican lawyer and political activist, who was predominantly known for his Impressionist paintings of Mexican land and seascapes.

He was born and raised in the city of Campeche, where he began drawing as a young student. However, he had to flee the city for Mexico's capital after confronting Campeche's governor in public. In the capital, he made his way to law school, despite poverty, but continued his opposition to the political status quo, landing him in jail, interrupting his studies. After he finished his classes he began to work as a journalist in opposition newspapers when in 1893 a series of fictionalized accounts of army campaigns against the Tarahumara people landed him back in jail. Escaping his captors and with help, he fled to the U.S. and Paris. In the latter city, he discovered Impressionism which he admired but did not begin to produce his own paintings until well after he returned to Mexico.

Clausell has two periods of production, during the 1900s and from 1920 until his death, with the break coming during the Mexican Revolution. His canvas works are almost exclusively dedicated to landscapes with some seascapes, mostly sticking to the base of Impressionism with some experimentation in coloring. However he also produced images on the walls of his studio, which are far more varied in theme and style, with elements of Symbolism. While he was not integrated with Mexico's art scene during his lifetime, his work was noticed and appreciated by artists such as Diego Rivera and Dr. A

JOAQUIN CLAUSELL - BIOGRAPHY

Joaquin Clausell was born in Campeche on June 16, 1866. His father Jose Clausell was a native of Catalonia, and his mother, Marcelina Traconis, a native of Merida, Yucatan. Joaquin Clausell is considered the main exponent of Impressionism in Mexico.

Joaquin Clausell drew since he was a child, he liked to do cartoons. He spent his childhood and adolescence in Campeche, pursuing his secondary education at the Instituto Campechano. In 1883 he was expelled from the institute for having given a public speech against the governor of the state of Campeche, Joaquin Baranda, even having to leave the state of Campeche.

In 1886 he studied engineering for a year and later law at the National School of Jurisprudence. In 1889, the lawyer Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada died in New York. When his remains were transferred to the capital of Mexico, Joaquin Clausell organized the demonstrations of a group of students in honor of the illustrious liberal reformer. Clausell was arrested for sedition, and imprisoned in the Belen Prison for a few months. In 1892 he finished his law studies, although he did not present his professional exam immediately because he was in prison.

For a short time, he worked as a journalist at El Universal under the pseudonym Juan Pérez. Subsequently, he founded the newspaper La Soberanía de los Estados, which didn't last long, and then El Demócrata. On March 14, 1893, the first installment of "Temóchic, Episodes in Campaign," authored by Heriberto Frías, was published anonymously in El Demócrata. Frías had participated in that military campaign. Joaquín Clausell, a friend of Frías, claimed authorship of the article to save Heriberto Frías from being executed, as he was accused of disclosing war secrets due to his military status. Because of this article, Joaquín Clausell was imprisoned again in Belén b
