The Rebel

Ca. 1914. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

Amidst insults and evident signs of mistreatment, a girl is expelled by her family from the camp where she lives. In this composition, which was presented at the National Exhibition of 1915, Fillol alludes with great emotional force both to the violence suffered by women and to the incomprehension of a patriarchal society based on ancestral traditions, here incarnated in the Gypsies, of women’s desires for emancipation and self-reliance.
