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 engagerad privately with themes carrying political, personal, and symbolic overtones.
