The papers of José Guerrero measure 0.4 linear feet and date from 1945 to 1982. The papers document his career as an abstract expressionist painter through some correspondence, some business materials such as a consignment and some price lists, exhibition announcements, and exhibition catalogs. Included among the catalogs is one for the "José Guerrero" retrospective exhibition in Spain in 1981. The catalog is in Spanish, but there is also an English translation of the catalog.
Biographical / Historical:
José Guerrero (1914-1991) was a Spanish artist, notable for his abstract expressionist paintings, who spent much of his working life in the United States. Guerrero was born in Granada, Spain in 1914, and he studied at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios in Granada and at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Following the end of World War II he traveled and studied throughout Europe in cities such as Paris, London, Rome, and Brussels. He evenutally moved to the United States in 1949 and settled in New York City where he studied with avant-garde artists such as Willem de Kooning. Prior to his move to the United States Guerrero worked primarily as a figurative artist, but shifted towards abstract art in 1950. His artwork is held in various institutions in both Spain and in the United States. Guerrero died in Barcelona, Spain in 1991.

The oral histories in this collection were conducted as part of the research for an exhibition exploring the history of neighborhood change and civic activism in the nation's capital. Focused on the dynamic histories of six DC neighborhoods—Adams Morgan, Anacostia, Brookland, Chinatown, Shaw and Southwest—the exhibition recounted the story of these communities through the eyes of the Washingtonians who helped shape and reshape the city in extraordinary ways. The exhibit was organized by the Anacostia Community Museum and curated by Samir Meghelli. The audio and video interviews were conducted between 2016-2018.
Scope and Contents:
In the early twenty-first century, as Washington, DC was experiencing rapid population growth, mounting tensions over gentrification, and persistent inequality, the Anacostia Community Museum's "A Right to the City" exhibition explored the history of neighborhood change and civic activism in the nation's capital. Focused on the dynamic histories of six DC neighborhoods—Adams Morgan, Anacostia, Brookland, Chinatown, Shaw and Southwest—the exhibition recounted the story of these communities through the eyes of the Washingtonians who helped shape and reshape the city in extraordinary ways: through their fights for quality public education, healthy and green urban spaces, equitable development and transportation, and a genuinely democratic approach to city planning. The oral histories that comprise this collection were conducted as part of the research for the exhibition. The audio and video interviews were conducted between 2016-2018.
Provenance:
