Abstract

Through César Manrique and the people who were part of his life and with whom he was connected, we can learn about the role of women in the art system in the 1940’s, ’50s and ’60s. And even more importantly, we can uncover the contribution of women in Manrique’s close environment to his personal and professional development. This includes women such Pepi Gómez, the artist’s companien; the painter and art critic Elvireta Escobio, Manrique’s intimate friend, and the New York gallery owner Catherine Viviano, who was responsable for Manrique’s entry into the New York art scene in the 1960s.
