message	M. C. Portela was an artist of her time, involved in the most progressive intellectual circles. As an active participant in these spaces, she was portrayed by artists such as Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968), David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896-1974) or A. Riganelli. These works have contributed to freeze M. C. Portela’s energy and momentum, confining her to the traditional place of muse. Even her friend Rafael Alberti, a noted Spanish poet and art critic who was exiled in Argentina, wrote about her not only as an artist, but also as a muse for inspired painters https://awarewomenartists.com/en/magazine/maria-carmen-portela-art-pol itique-nouvelles-femmes-et-engagement-social/
