Carmen Herrera (1915–2022), abstract artist who became famous late in life
15.02.2022 - 19:09 / legacy.com
Carmen Herrera was an abstract artist who made her first sale at the age of 89 and went on to great fame in the art world.Herrera was a native of Havana, Cuba, where she initially studied architecture. She turned this talent into one for art after she moved to New York City in the 1930s. She studied painting there, beginning to form the style that would be celebrated many decades later.
Herrera’s art focused on bold colors and straight lines, with geometric shapes that harked back to her training as an architect. She continued creating art all her life, but she struggled for recognition, finding herself shut out of large galleries and museums. It wasn’t until 2004, when Herrera was 89 years old, that her show at Manhattan’s Latin Collector Gallery received a favorable review.
She made her first sale, and widespread recognition quickly followed. Within ten years, Herrera’s paintings were selling for more than $150,000. Her paintings were exhibited at New York’s Whitney Museum of Art and her large-scale sculptures at City Hall Park in Manhattan.
Herrera was profiled in the 2015 documentary “The 100 Years Show.” She continued working well past the age of 100, even after she had to use a wheelchair to get around.“I hope my art will give some joy or pleasure or spark someone’s imagination. I hope that my so-called ‘discovery’ at 89 will encourage others waiting for the bus.” —from a 2021 interview for Town & CountryWe are deeply saddened by the passing of Carmen Herrera. At 106, the legendary painter was one of the longest-lived artists in modern art history, actively working until relatively recently.

Patti Smith on How She Came to Love Substack: ‘I Like the Idea That the Reader Hangs Out With the Writer’
A.D. Amorosi When Patti Smith joined Substack — the now-five-year-old online platform that publishes and pays writers on a subscription model — the poet, author and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer had been stuck at home in New York City after having canceled a world tour due to COVID.Starting with her tagline (“The reader is my notebook”), and moving into her serialized, on-line novel (“The Melting,” currently 44 chapters long), Smith’s “journal of my private pandemic” promised “an inter-connective body of work for a responsive community,” filled with “ruminations, shards of poetry, music, and musings on whatever subject finds its way from thought to pen, news of the mind, pieces of this world.” Rather than maintain a diary’s staid setting, the communally driven Smith engages her subscriber base with freshly penned songs and poetry readings of her her heroes’ work and her own.

Betty Davis, Singer-Songwriter Who Paved the Way for Boldly Sensual Funk in 1970s, Dies at 76
A.D. Amorosi Singer-songwriter-producer Betty Davis, an icon of future-funk, fashion and bold sexuality in the 1970s, died Wednesday at age 76 in her longtime home of Homestead, Pennsylvania.Davis, who was once married to and collaborated with jazz legend Miles Davis, died of natural causes, Allegheny County communications director Amie Downs told Rolling Stone.The singer was widely viewed as having paved a way for R&B and hip-hop performers ranging from Prince and Erykah Badu to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, even though she dropped out of the recording scene so early — all but disappearing after the mid-1970s — that thse debts were not always recognized.In her heyday, this uninhibited mistress of futuristic funk and highly sexualized lyrical and vocal prowess released three albums – 1973’s “Betty Davis,” 1974’s “They Say I’m Different” and 1975’s definitive “Nasty Gal” – that were as bold in their self-creation as she was in portraying their sensual power on each album sleeve.
