Comment: What is needed to establish notability per WP criteria for artists is significant coverage in verifiable reliable sources (newspapers, books, magazines) that are fully independent from the person themselves. The one museum collection is a good source, if there are other works in permanent museum or national gallery collections please add them, as this will help.

Clarel Neme (July 9, 1926 – February 14, 2004) was a Uruguayan painter and visual artist. Born in Rivera, Uruguay, and later passing away in Montevideo, he developed a career that influenced both national and international art. His work, marked by creativity and social critique, frequently explored themes of human experience and cultural identity.[1]
Early Life and Education
Clarel Neme was born on July 9, 1926, in Rivera, Uruguay. Between 1954 and 1958, he studied drawing and painting at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Montevideo, where he was mentored by Vicente Martín. In 1962, he received the prestigious Carlos María Herrera Scholarship, awarded through a competitive selection process. This opportunity enabled him to embark on a study trip to Europe,[2] an experience that significantly shaped his artistic vision and broadened his creative horizons.[3]
Artistic Career
Neme's artwork is defined by a raw and unembellished expressionism that examines the human condition. He frequently employed grotesque, volumetric figures, paired with a surreal and imaginative use of color, to craft a distinctive atmosphere. His pieces often conveyed a poetic yet incisive social critique, skillfully blending humor, artistry, and emotional depth.[1][4]
Exhibitions and Recognitions
Clarel Neme showcased his work in numerous solo exhibitions, including:
- Galería Moretti (1966)
- Galería Aramayo and Galería Portón de San Pedro (1968)
- Alianza Cultural Uruguay-Estados Unidos (1969)
- Galería Karlen Gugelmeier (1970, 1983)
- Museo de Arte Americano de Maldonado (1984, 1992)
- Galería Swiss Bank Corp (1994)
He also participated in many national and international collective exhibitions:
- Salones Nacionales (1960, 1962, 1966)
- Salón del Retrato, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (1966)
- Salón Municipal (1967)
- Comisión Nacional de Bellas Artes in Paysandú (1967)
- First National City Bank (1968)
In 1995, Clarel Neme received the Figari Award from the Central Bank of Uruguay in recognition of his contributions to the arts.[1][3]
His workshop in the Villa Colón neighborhood of Montevideo became a meeting place and a hub for discussions with his students.
Blog and Reflections on Art
In addition to his painting, Neme shared his creative insights and thoughts through a personal blog. This platform provided readers with an opportunity to explore his artistic philosophy and the processes behind his creations. His reflections on the role of art in society and its capacity to express complex emotions found a broad and appreciative audience.[4]
