Guitemie

Maldonado

Art history professor

Contemporary art historian and critic Guitemie Maldonado devoted her thesis to biomorphism in the interwar period (Le Cercle et l'amibe, 2006), extending it with more occasional monographic studies (devoted to Jean Arp, Wassily Kandinsky, Joaquin Torres Garcia, Sonia Delaunay, Henry Moore...) and a constant interest in in-between situations (art-nature, art-science, abstraction-figuration).

She has also focused on the situation of abstraction after the Second World War, in particular through a monograph on Nicolas de Staël. Through various encounters and circumstances, she began writing about contemporary art, for exhibitions (Bernard Piffaretti, Djamel Tatah, Sophie Dubosc, Antony Gormley, Rachel Whiteread, Pierre Buraglio, Frédérique Lucien...) and magazines (Artforum, artpress, Roven and currently The Art Newspaper).
