JOSÉ ARPA PEREA (Carmona, 1858 - Seville, 1952). "Flowers". Oil on canvas. Signed and located in the lower right area. Measurements: 61 x 74 cm; 74 x 84 cm (frame). This work, located in Seville, probably belongs to the artist's last period, as aesthetically the treatment of the material on the canvas, the load of oil and the textured finish of the image are very reminiscent of the qualities of his landscapes in the United States. Compositionally the work is really interesting, as the artist recreates a landscape, but lowers the point of view and narrows the space in such a way as to present a classic still life of flowers, which is the main motif, but contextualised in its own surroundings. José Arpa Perea was a Spanish landscape painter who produced much of his work in North America. He moved from Carmona to Seville at the age of ten, where he combined his work as a broad-brush painter with evening classes at the Santa Isabel de Hungría School of Fine Arts in Seville from 1876, where he met Eduardo Cano. Between 1883 and 1886 he lived in Rome, in great need owing to the meagre grant he was awarded by the Seville provincial council, where he painted historical canvases. On his return to Seville he set up his own studio and began to be recognised, winning commissions such as the decoration of the Círculo Mercantil and the city's Casino Militar. He further developed his orientalist facet on a trip to Morocco in 1895. He lived in Mexico between 1896 and 1910, later moving to San Antonio (Texas, United States) because of the Mexican Revolution, setting up a painting academy there and receiving commissions, enjoying an economic situation that enabled him to make frequent trips to Spain, with long stays in Seville and visits to the Cantabrian coast. He spent more than 30 years in this American city. Throughout his life he was in frequent contact with the landscape painters of the well-known Alcalá de Guadaira School, and his work could be seen in numerous cities in all the countries in which he lived (Seville...), and is held in important private collections all over the world and in prominent institutions such as the Seville Museum of Fine Arts, the Cajasol Museum, the Museum of Huelva, the San Antonio Museum of Art (United States), the Museo Universitario Casa de los Muñecos (Puebla, Mexico), etc.
