Benito Quinquela Martín (1 de marzo de 1890; 28 de enero de 1977), cuyo nombre de nacimiento fue Benito Juan Martín, fue un pintor argentino. Hijo de una madre desconocida que lo abandonó en la Casa de los Expósitos, siete años después fue adoptado por la familia Chinchella, dueños de una carbonería.1

Quinquela Martín es considerado el pintor de puertos y es uno de los pintores más populares del país.2 Sus pinturas portuarias muestran la actividad, vigor y rudeza de la vida diaria en la portuaria La Boca. Le tocó trabajar de niño cargando bolsas de carbón y dichas experiencias influenciaron la visión artística de sus obras.3

Exhibió sus obras en varias exposiciones realizadas en el país y en el extranjero, logró vender varias de sus creaciones y otras tantas las donó. Con el beneficio económico obtenido por estas ventas realizó varias obras solidarias en su barrio, entre ellas una escuela-museo conocida como Escuela Pedro de Mendoza.

No tuvo una educación formal en artes sino que fue autodidacta, lo que ocasionó que la crítica no fuera siempre positiva. Usó como principal instrumento de trabajo la espátula en lugar del tradicional pincel.

Benito Quinquela Martín (March 1?), 1890 – January 28, 1977) was an Argentine painter born in La Boca, Buenos Aires. Quinquela Martín is considered the port painter-par-excellence and one of the most popular Argentine painters. His paintings of port scenes show the activity, vigor and roughness of the daily life in the port of La Boca.


Early years

His birthday could not be determined precisely as he was abandoned on March 20, 1890 at an orphanage with a note that stated "This kid has been baptized, and his name is Benito Juan Martín". From his physical appearance, the nuns who found him deduced that he should be around twenty days old; thus March 1 is regarded as his birthday.

Adopted by Manuel and Justina Molina de Chinchella when he was seven years old, he adopted his stepfather's surname (which would later be hispanized as Quinquela).

At the age of 14 he attended a modest night school of drawing in La Boca while working during day on the family's coal-yard. When he became 17 years old he joined the Pezzini Stiatessi Conservatory, where he stayed until 1920.


International Exhibitions

By 1910 he had started appearing small art exhibitions, mainly in and around La Boca. He obtained the second prize on the Salón Nacional (Spanish, "National Exhibition") in 1920. After an exhibition at Mar del Plata in the same year, he was sent as the Argentine representative to an exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil attended by local personalities including Brazilian president Epitacio Pessoa.

By the 1920s Marcelo T. de Alvear and his wife were very fond of Quinquela Martín's works, and this admiration led to a lasting friendship. In 1922, Quinquela Martín was assigned as chancellor of the Argentine Madrid Consulate in Spain. On April, 1923 he exhibited at the Círculo de Bellas Artes of Madrid. Two of his works were acquired by the institution (Buque en reparación and Efecto de Sol), while another two were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art of Madrid.

In 1925 he set sail for France because—in his own words—"My trip to France is owed to President Alvear, who liked my works and wanted them to be judged by Paris". The Musée du Luxembourg acquired Tormenta en el astillero.

On 1927 he left for New York City, where he put part of his work on display at the Anderson Galleries. Accounts say two paintings were bought by "Mr. Havemeyer", who donated them to the Metropolitan Museum of New York. After this exhibition he made several others under sculptor Georgette Blandi's tutelage. Before returning to Buenos Aires, he was invited to Havana by Conde Ribero to exhibit there.

On 1929, on a trip to Italy, he made an exhibition at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome. The Museum of Modern Art of Rome acquired several paintings which were chosen by Benito Mussolini during the display. Quinquela Martín made his last trip in 1930, to London, where he exhibited at the Burlington Gallery. Several British museums acquired his paintings, including the Museum of Arts of London, Museum of Birmingham, Sheffield, Swansea, Cardiff, New Zealand and St. James's Palace.


Late life and death

Back in his homeland, he became a philanthropist and donated several works to La Boca and the city of Buenos Aires. On March 15th, 1974, at the age of 84, he married his life-long secretary, Alejandrina Marta Cerruti. He died on January 28, 1977, in Buenos Aires, of heart complications, and was buried in the La Chacarita Cemetery. He was buried in a coffin made for him the previous year, stating that "Que quien vivió rodeado de color no puede ser enterrado en una caja lisa", meaning "He who lived surrounded by colors cannot be buried in a flat box." On the cover of the coffin was a painting of the port of La Boca.[1] His wife, being the only heiress, inherited of all his belongings.

 Zinnia 'Purple Prince' (Zinnia elegans)


Zinnia 'Peppermint Stick Mixed' (Zinnia elegans)


Zinnia is a genus of 20 species of annual and perennial plants of family Asteraceae, originally from scrub and dry grassland in an area stretching from the American Southwest to South America, but primarily Mexico, and notable for their solitary long-stemmed flowers that come in a variety of bright colors.

Zinnia leaves are opposite and usually stalkless (sessile), with a shape ranging from linear to ovate, and pale to middle green in color. The flowers have a range of appearances, from a single row of petals, to a dome shape, with the colors white, chartreuse, yellow, orange, red, purple, and lilac.

Zinnias are popular garden flowers, usually grown from seed, and preferably in fertile, humus-rich, and well-drained soil, in an area with full sun. They will reseed themselves each year. Over 100 cultivars have been produced since selective breeding started in the 19th century.

Zinnia elegans, also known as Zinnia violacea, is the most familiar species, originally from Mexico and thus a warm–hot climate plant. Its leaves are lance-shaped and sandpapery in texture, and height ranges from 15 cm to 1 meter.

Zinnia angustifolia is another Mexican species. It has a low bushy plant habit, linear foliage, and more delicate flowers than Z. elegans – usually single, and in shades of yellow, orange or white. It is also more resistant to powdery mildew than Z. elegans, and hybrids between the two species have been raised which impart this resistance on plants intermedate in appearance between the two. The Profusion series, with both single and double-flowered components, is bred by Sakata of Japan, and is among the most well-known of this hybrid group.

Zinnias seem especially favored by butterflies, and many gardeners add zinnias specifically to attract them.[3][4]

The name of the genus derives from the German botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn (1727–59).

Zinnia es un género de 20 especies de plantas anuales y perennes de la familia Asteraceae, originalmente de praderas secas de un área que se extiende del sudoeste americano a Suramérica, pero sobre todo México, notable por sus flores solitarias que vienen en una variedad de colores brillantes.

Hojas opuestas, sésiles, aovaladas y enteras. capítulos terminales, solitarios de color dorado anaranjado o violáceo. Muy apreciada en floricultura porque la flor se conserva casi un mes después de ser cortada.
