About Women of Chilpancingo

“Women of Chilpancingo” is a portrait painted by David Alfaro Siqueiros in 1960. The artwork, rendered in pyroxylin, is a part of the Expressionism movement and measures 81 by 61 cm. This piece is located in a private collection.

The artwork depicts a group of women with somber expressions, rendered in a strong and expressive style characteristic of the Expressionism movement. Their faces and postures convey a sense of hardship and resilience. The women appear huddled together, with their eyes cast downward or off to the side, exuding a powerful emotional gravity. The use of muted tones and the textured application of the medium emphasize the rawness and depth of their emotions. The artist’s focus on capturing the essence of these women’s experiences elevates the piece from mere portraiture to a poignant commentary on the human condition.
