  • "Lavanderas Criollas" Oil by Humberto Garavito
    Jun. 04, 2025

    "Lavanderas Criollas" Oil by Humberto Garavito

    Est: $1,000 - $2,000

    Humberto Garavito (Guatemalan, 1897-1970). A well documented oil on canvas, in elaborate painted gilt and gesso frame. Signed l.l. 25.5" x 21" (sight), 32.5" x 28" (framed). Humberto Garavito was among the most accomplished early 20th century Guatemalan painters. He first gained acclaim when receiving a strong review by Jaime Sabartes, a critic who eventually became Picasso's secretary, which prompted him to Spain and Paris during the Post-War 20's. His exhibits there were successful, and by the late 20's, Garavito had settled back inb Guatemala. This example was executed at the height of Garavito's maturity, and contains a fabulous letter to the buyer, an Isphording from Cincinnati, OH. Garavito describes the subject in detail- "Lavanderasd Criollas" (Native Washer Women)- in which he describes the subject as the following: "For your information I might add that it is not Indian women who are grouped around the washing place but 'mengalas', as we call them, who are descendants of of Spanish and indian ancestry and a product of our melting pot. They still go barefoot and all through the time of the colony until now they have had a peculiar way of dressing, which is neither European nor Indian fashion."The letter is dated November 26, 1937. The sweeping, impressionistic landscape in the background is likely a view of the Volcan San Pedro, a subject which Garavito repeated from different views.
