It has been a long research, elaborated with great care, like Carmen Garrido enjoyed working. Extensive research that CAEM researchers will remember for a lifetime. A priceless opportunity to work with a real teacher, very wise, in the history of art in this country. As Carmen Garrido looked at the painting, no one in Spain has ever done it. She penetrated every pictorial work she examined in a unique way.
Thank you very much, dear Carmen, for teaching us so much, and for distilling among us, in a very generous way, the good and best of your perceptual and analytical wisdom.
The conference, very entertaining and enriching, can be enjoyed by visiting the website of the Museu d’Art de Sabadell.
Carmen Garrido Pérez (Madrid 1947-2020) has undoubtedly been, due to her profound way of seeing and analysing pictorial artworks, one of the most innovative figures in the History of Spanish and European Art. Weeks before he died he wrote with relish, together with various researchers from the CAEM (Univ. De Lleida), about Velázquez.
She was Doctor from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Art History, with the thesis Contribución al estudio de pinturas hispano-flamencas y renacentistas utilizando los métodos físico-químicos de examen científico, doctoral thesis directed by Gratiniano Nieto Gallo (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 1979); and she was also Curator of Cuerpo Facultativo de Museos de España. Until now, she was the Emeritus Director of the Gabinete de Documentación Técnica of the Museo Nacional del Prado, one of the most complete and active in the world, created by herself in 1980.
During the last years of her life, already emeritus at the Museo Nacional del Prado, but active non-stop, she gave us her invaluable analytical and perceptual teaching to all the researchers of the Center d’Art d’Època Moderna (CAEM) of the University of Lleida. It was our pole star. We owe him immense gratitude. We learned the unspeakable. She was our scientific director for years and we were fortunate to work side by side with her. Thank you very much, dear Carmen.
