Lot description
Gladiolas signed (lower right) dated 1980 oil on canvas 24" x 18" (61 cm x 46 cm) Accompanied by a certificate signed by the artist confirming the authenticity of this lot Aside from her depictions of women, Norma Belleza also produced a fair number of still life paintings. Bearing her signature brilliant palette and broad brushstrokes, Belleza painted a vase of beautiful gladiolas in this 1980 oil on canvas work. These flowers are characterized by their tall, elegant stems adorned with colorful trumpet-shaped blooms and are often associated with strength, victory, pride, sincerity, and moral integrity. Hence, despite the absence of figures, Gladiolas still denote Belleza’s women—affectionate but strong-willed in character. (Jessica Magno)
