Beatriz Milhazes

Galerie Max Hetzler / Holzwarth Publications, Berlin 2011
With an interview by Sebastian Preuss

‘S.P.: There is that famous Gertrude Stein quote: “A rose is a rose is a rose.” Does that apply to your paintings? We see a wealth of botanical forms and fantastical flowers – but are they really flowers?

B.M.: Not really. They are a combination of things. To work as a painting, the “rose” needs to be a form and color. But they really are flowers, in the sense that they carry important symbolic meanings from life. I'm interested in life. I like these references, and my paintings need them, but a painting is a painting is a painting.’
