Carmen Perujo, a history of life Birth in the pre-war period and formation years of a plastic artista woman in the Spanish post-war period (1930 – 1951)

Abstract

This article presents the contextualized biography of Carmen Perujo Guerrero, Spanish sculptor born in 1930, in Seville, from the moment of her birth until the end of artistic formation in the Santa Isabel de Hungría school in Sevilla. Left, for later articles, the years of personal maturity, in which she succeeds as a ceramic sculptor both economically and in the artist critics. It is analyzed from the gender studies perspective and from the life history methodology, including the sociopolitical circumstances that surrounded her from the moment of her birth, studies and first youth. Given the lack of female artists’ genealogy who created her work during the period of the dictatorship and the transition to democracy, this article enhances the work of this exceptional artist that received the echoes of the women of the first third of the century and knew how to overcome the role of household angel that was awarded to her, as for all women, by the regime and created a personal work that has served as a reference for the next generation.
