LEOPOLDO NÓVOA GARCÍA (Pontevedra, 1919 - Paris, 2012) "Four reliefs". 1982. Oil on táblex. Signed and dated in the lower corner. Measurements: 71 x 53 cm; 94 x 75 cm (frame). In this work the author uses an abstract language based on irregular geometry. It is an open style, whose basic characteristic is the conception of the pictorial surface as a whole, as an open field, without limits and without hierarchy. A painter and sculptor with a Galician mother and Uruguayan father, Leopoldo Nóvoa emigrated to Uruguay in 1938, where he became associated with Joaquín Torres García. Settled in Montevideo, where he founded the cultural magazine "Apex", he was also a great friend of Jorge Oteiza and, once settled in Buenos Aires (1948-1957), of Lucio Fontana, who had a notable influence on his work. He finally left America in 1965 to settle in Paris with Michel Tapié, who had been impressed by his mural in the Luis Tróccoli Stadium in Montevideo. In Paris he met Julio Cortázar, who wrote a story about his work. He also founded, together with other outstanding Uruguayan and Argentinean painters, the Espacio Latinoamericano. However, he did not hold his first exhibition until 1964. This took place at the gallery of Edouard Loeb, with whom he would collaborate for many years. His work, which ranges from drawing and painting to murals and pyrography, abstractly evokes his memories of Galicia, with a language that shows references to abstract expressionism and informalism. Nóvoa was awarded prizes such as the Castelao Medal (1993), the City of Pontevedra Prize (1997) and the Premio da Crítica Galicia (2002). He is currently represented in the Abanca and Caixanova collections, among others.

ALCEU RIBEIRO (Artigas, Uruguay, 1919 - Palma de Mallorca, 2013). "Figura", 1992. Assemblage in painted wood. Signed, titled and dated on the back. Measurements: 46.5 x 23.5 cm. Painter, sculptor and muralist, Alceu Ribeiro trained with Joaquín Torres-García starting in 1939, thanks to a scholarship that allowed him to settle with his brother, also an artist, in Montevideo. He studied with the master for ten years, until his death in 1949, and during his student years his work was already recognized with several prizes at the National Salon of Montevideo, in 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1945. The following year, in 1946, he became known in Paris through the Muestra de Pintura Moderna Uruguaya held there. In 1949 he founded the workshop El Molino, which he converted into the center of Montevideo's intelligentsia, and that same year he carried out his first commission for mural painting for the Palacio de la Luz in the Uruguayan capital. Shortly afterwards, in 1953, he held his first individual exhibition at the Faculty of Architecture of the same city. He also continued to participate in official exhibitions with great success, and carried out important mural projects, both pictorial and sculptural. In 1962 he becomes a professor at the Universidad del Trabajo in Montevideo, and the following year he makes a long working trip to Europe, where he leaves after holding several exhibitions on tour in South America, among other places at the Zea Museum in Medellin (Colombia). In 1964 he returns to Montevideo, and three years later he holds his first solo exhibition in the United States, at the Mayfair Gallery in Washington D.C. From then on Ribeiro exhibited his work in museums and galleries in South America, the United States and Europe, finally settling in 1979 in Palma de Mallorca. He is currently represented in the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Juan Manuel Blanes Museum in Montevideo, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the National Museum of São Paulo and other public and private collections in Europe and America.

WASHINGTON BARCALA (Montevideo 1920-Montevideo 1993). "Composition". Mixed media on panel. Signed on the back. Measurements: 20 x 18,5 cm, 42,5 x 40,5 cm (frame). Multidisciplinary artist was formed sharing tasks in the factory of cardboard boxes of his parents, so he became familiar with the raw material that years later he would use in his work. In his early years of education he studied at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Montevideo, coinciding with the artist Joaquín Torres García. In 1950 he attended classes at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid). He returns to Montevideo and then returns to Madrid for good in 1975, when his work begins to acquire international projection. His production can be grouped into three styles: figurative painting (1946-1950), abstract and informalist painting (1961-1964) to reach what is his most personal style "stage of the boxes" since 1967. It is worth noting the artist's definition of his conception of art, which is collected on his website. "When I make a painting I try to create spaces of visual relationships where the forms express by their identity or general appearance, relationships and tensions, the phenomena that surround, the diverse realities of the physical or spiritual world. These vital testimonies, these intimate feelings poured into analytical or instinctive images, are the generators of what I call, in order to escape imprecise cataloguing, ordinations. To the surface of the work I concur with the motivations that will shape the image, with the inexhaustible possible solutions of composition, with an infinity of forms, with the different fabrics, children and papers, with woods in their natural or painted state and the colors with their mysteries of relationships. In an intense search to establish an order, everything is digested to achieve the maximum possible balance. Assuming that he has succeeded, the degree of experience of the work will be greater or lesser, depending on the success achieved". Today his works are found in different collections of great artistic relevance, both private and public, an example of this are the two works that the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, has in its collection.
