“Kimono blanco (White Kimono)” by Judith Alpi (Chilean) - Oil on canvas / c. 1919 - Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Santiago, Chile) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #JudithAlpi #Alpi #MuseoNacionalDeBellasArtes #MNBA #ChileanArt #BlueskyArt #ArtText #Japonisme #WomenPaintingWomen
Painted around 1919, this portrait shows Chilean artist Judith Alpi’s early command of modern intimacy. In her mid-twenties, freshly trained at Santiago’s Escuela de Bellas Artes and aligned with the Generación del Trece, Alpi balanced academic draftsmanship with a softened, atmospheric palette. A light-skinned woman sits on a low, blue-upholstered daybed. She has a sleek short black bob, red lips, and a calm, watchful gaze turned to our left. Her white kimono is loosely wrapped and dotted with pale pink blossoms as it drops in wide sleeves and opens to show one bare shin. Embroidered slippers repeat the floral tones. A thin bracelet and a ring add small flashes of shine. At her side, a large blue ceramic vase holds flowering branches above a table draped in patterned cloth. The room dissolves into cool gray-blue planes, letting the woman and blossoms be the quiet center of the painting. The kimono and blossoming branch nod to japonisme, an imported visual language that Chilean artists and collectors used to signal cosmopolitan taste, but the scene feels less like costume than chosen self-presentation. The sitter remains unidentified, but her relaxed crossed legs, visible skin, and sidelong look suggest a private room where she can inhabit elegance on her own terms. White cloth can be both refuge and spotlight while the small pink flowers, poised between bud and bloom, hint at transience and becoming. Alpi was also an avid collector of European and Chilean art, and her own practice returned again and again to portraiture … especially images of women artists and intellectuals. She later helped found the Sociedad Nacional de Bellas Artes and taught in several public institutions, shaping the next generation as well as her own. The painting’s early honors (including recognition in the 1919 Salón Oficial and a medal at the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition in Seville) underscore how seriously her contemporaries took women’s authorship in the public art sphere.

“Autorretrato (Self-Portrait)” by Ida González (Chilean) - Témpera / c. early 1960s - Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Santiago, Chile) #WomenInArt #IdaGonzález #González #SelfPortrait #ChileanArt #art #artText #ChileanArtist #WomanArtist #WomensArt #WomenArtists #MuseoNacionalDeBellasArtes #MNBA
Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes shares a provenance detail that reframes this self portrait as an act of agency because it entered the museum in 1970 as a donation from Chilean artist Ida González herself. Even without a recorded year of execution, that gift turns the painting into a public self-document, placed deliberately inside Chile’s national collection. It’s rectangular, vertical self-portrait that shows the artist from the chest up, turned three-quarters to the left while her eyes meet ours directly. She appears middle-aged. Her black hair is gathered into a bun. Broad, matte planes of warm tans and cool grays shape a light-to-medium soft brown face as a deeper shadow gathers along the cheek and jaw, giving her head a sculpted weight. Strong brows and elongated dark eyes create a steady, appraising gaze. Her mouth is small, with full lips softly tinted. She wears a dark, round-neck top with a narrow reddish trim at the collar and a beige jacket. The background is neutral and largely unworked, so the face, brushstrokes, and dark contour lines do most of the describing as direct, simplified, and unsentimental. González (Ida Eugenia González González) was born in Vicuña (Valle de Elqui) and studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes and the Instituto Pedagógico of the Universidad de Chile. She also pursued printmaking at Taller 99. Her work has engaged popular art, Chilean textiles, and social anthropology, and biographies note that after marrying the Cuban-Chilean painter Mario Carreño she set painting aside for a period before returning to sustained creative work. Read with that arc in mind, the portrait’s half-turn and unwavering gaze hold a tension between inward assessment and outward address as an artist claiming her image, and then, by donation, choosing to share it.
