FERMÍN AGUAYO (Sotillo de la Ribera, Burgos, 1926 - Paris, 1977). "Composition", Paris, 1953. Oil on panel. Signed, dated and located in the lower right-hand corner. Measurements: 47 x 64 cm; 62 x 78 cm (frame). Fermín Aguayo was a pioneer of abstraction, forming part of the Grupo Pórtico de Zaragoza. His work began within post-cubism to evolve very soon towards abstraction and later, after his departure to Paris in September 1952, towards figurative painting. The work in tender was produced during this period, in 1953, a year before he was hired by Jean-François Jaeger of the Jeanne Bucher gallery as a professional painter with a monthly salary, which gave him great stability in his pictorial work, which evolved towards an essential, intimate and poetic figurativism.
