Portrait by Augustus John of Guilhermina Suggia. Tate Gallery |
Guihermina Suggia (1885-1950) is the artist works and photos that I present, but it is the woman depicted in these portraits. It 'was a Portuguese musician and one of the first women to play the cello as a professional.
He began playing at age 5 and graduated at the Leipzig Conservatory at age 18, becoming a musician very famous and appreciated. In the first half of the 900 it was rare that a woman would choose and could do with his passion for music a profession, and Guihermina Suggia is a rare case of not only skill but most of unconventionality. I told you, in short, the story this extraordinary woman because I hit the portrait that he made the Welsh artist Augustus John. Guihermina wearing a beautiful red dress, while he plays with his cello transport. Seems to hear the melody! In the coming weeks I will tell other stories of incredible women.
