This painting by José Lerma is part of Lerma’s series of “re-paintings,” for which he paints stylized, whimsical versions of paintings featuring Hispanic subjects in the collections of the European and American galleries the Art Institute of Chicago. Lerma mixes his paints with construction materials and other mediums not usually associated with fine art. He applies the paints with broad strokes, creating oversized brush marks and out of proportion figures in order to make the viewer feel small in the presence of the painting. There are different reasons Lerma does this: one is simply to evoke a childlike state of mind in the viewer with the odd scaling and whimsical colors and forms; another is to allude to the non-proportional representation of Spanish diaspora artists in major international museum collections. Lerma is giving us a caricature of an actual painting, which serves to satirize the entire museum experience. It is an oversimplification of an existing work, which echoes the oversimplification of non-majoritarian identities and histories that so often happens within institutional settings.
