PIERRE GONNORD (France, 1963). "Soho", from the series "City", New York, 2001. Photograph, copy 1/5. Signed, dated, numbered, titled and located on the back. With label on the back of the Juana de Aizpuru Gallery. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm. Considered one of the most talented photographers of recent times, Pierre Gonnord imbues his work with a melancholic and heartbreaking aura that "narrates, under the skin, singular and unusual stories about our times", according to the critic Rafael Doctor. His portraits, reminiscent of the great masters of art history such as Rembradt, Veermer, Caravaggio, Goya, Zurbarán and Velázquez, focus on the outcasts of society and their stories. In his works we find vagrants, mentally ill people, prisoners and the blind, but also monks, geishas and members of urban gangs, i.e. people who also remain on the fringes of their society in a different way. A prominent French photographer born in Cholet, Pierre Gonnord has lived in Madrid since 1988, and currently works in collaboration with the prestigious Juana de Aizpuru gallery. A self-taught artist and winner of the 2007 Community of Madrid Culture Prize, in 1998 Gonnord began a personal project, which defines his mature language, centred on the human face. The first series in this new style were "Interiors" (Madrid, 1999) and "City" (New York, 2001), derived from his own urban experience. Later he will make new series, already with characters of different ethnicities: "Regards" (2002-2003), "Far East" (Japan, 2003) and "Utopians" (2004-2005). In these last series, Gonnord approaches characters marginalised by society, portraying them in close-ups. In his latest series, "Witnesses", he has approached the world of the gypsies and the people who have lived through the tragedies of the Balkans and North Africa. Throughout his career, Gonnord has held exhibitions of his work in Spain, France and the United States, among other countries, both in galleries and in museums and art centres, including the Centro Cultural Conde Duque in Madrid, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, the University of Salamanca, the Atelier des Forges in Arles, the FRAC of Auvergne-Ecuries in Chazerat and the photographic festivals of Helsinki and Oslo. Today he is mainly represented in the Juana de Aizpuru gallery, but his work can also be found in other important collections, such as that of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.

ESTEBAN VICENTE PÉREZ (Turégano, Segovia, 1903 - New York, 2001). Untitled, 1967. Ink on paper. Signed. Exhibitions: Madrid, Elvira González Gallery, "Esteban Vicente. Black and white", 17 March - 14 April 2000, page 33 (reprod.). Barcelona, Alejandro Sales Gallery, "Esteban Vicente", November 2006 (reprod.). Measurements: 48 x 70 cm; 70 x 90 cm (frame). Esteban Vicente enters, in 1921, in the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando, in Madrid, with the purpose of training as a sculptor, but soon decides to devote himself to painting. In 1928 he held his first exhibition, after which he went to Paris, where he remained until 1930. He returned to Spain and exhibited in Barcelona and Madrid, and after the outbreak of the Civil War he worked in hiding in the mountains surrounding the capital. However, the same year of 1936 he decides to go to New York, his wife's place of origin. There he exhibited for the first time at the Kleeman Gallery in 1937. Four years later he obtained the American nationality since, having been a supporter of the Republican side, he decided not to return to Spain. He carried out numerous commissions and exhibitions in the following years, and between 1947 and 1947 he was a professor of painting at the University of Puerto Rico. Upon his return to the United States he established a relationship with the nascent New York School, participating in his exhibitions at the Kootz Gallery (1950), the Ninth Street Art Exhibition (1951) and at the Sidney Janis and Egan Galleries. He was a founding member of the New York Studio School, where he taught for thirty-six years. From the eighties onwards his work began to be known in Spain, retrospectives were dedicated to him (Banco Exterior, 1987, and Museo Reina Sofía, 1997) and he was awarded mentions such as the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts (1990) and the Great Cross of Alfonso X the Wise (1999). In 1998 the Esteban Vicente Museum of Contemporary Art was inaugurated in Segovia, where a large part of his work is preserved today. Vicente's works are kept in major contemporary art museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim and the MOMA in New York, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Smithsonian in Washington D.C., the Withney Museum of American Art or the Indianapolis Museum of Art, among others.
