ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA (Tomelloso, Ciudad Real, 1936). "Carmen recién nacida", 2012. Steel. Copy 1/10. Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by the author. It has a wooden and methacrylate box with a small tear. Signed and numbered. Measures. 5,5 x 7,5 x 4,5 cm; 27 x 21 x 21 x 21 cm (box). This 2012 steel piece is based on the model created by Antonio López in 1999 in which he paid homage to his newborn granddaughter. Carmen, the little girl's name, became a constant in his work, as her face allowed him to sculpt the values of childhood, the softness of forms and innocence reflected in rounded, yet gentle and delicate features. This piece is closely related to the work known as "Night" or "Carmen asleep", which is paired with the sculpture "Day" or "Carmen awake", both located in Madrid's Atocha station. A painter and sculptor, Antonio López began his artistic training in his native land, where he took classes with the master painter Antonio López Torres. It was thanks to his artistic facility, his talent and the support of his uncle, which led him to begin his studies in Madrid, at the San Fernando Academy. In order to gain admission, he attended courses at the School of Arts and Crafts in the afternoons. This preparation helped him to gain admission to the academy at the age of 14. During his time as a student he made friends with other artists of his generation such as Enrique Gran, Amalia Avia and Lucio Muñoz, what has come to be known as the Madrid School. In 1955, after finishing his studies at the School of Fine Arts, he left for Italy, where he travelled thanks to a scholarship. After finishing his studies, in 1957, he made his individual debut in Madrid at the Ateneo, with an exhibition he had prepared in his native Tomelloso. A year later, thanks to a competition held by the Fundación Rodríguez Acosta, he travelled to Greece with a grant. After his return to Madrid in the 1960s, his presence in galleries was reiterated, thanks to the contacts generated through his exhibition at the Biosca Gallery. Antonio López's work generated great interest in different parts of Europe, the United States, China and Korea. In 1993 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated an anthological exhibition to him. His work is characterised by the use of a realist language, showing a great interest in portraiture, although it also includes subjects such as landscape. He is a member of the San Fernando Academy, and his awards include the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts and the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts. In 2008 the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston devoted a monographic exhibition to him, as will the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. He is represented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the ARTIUM in Vitoria, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Fundación Juan March and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, among others.

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.

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.

FERNANDO CARRERA (Alcoy, 1866-1937). "Landscape. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. It has some flaws in the golden frame. Measurements: 39 x 47 cm; 54 x 61 cm (frame). In this composition, the author offers a partial view of a leafy landscape framed by the whitewashed pilasters of a patio. The earthy colors in the shade of the covered veranda contrast with the emerald greens of the treetops and the lime green of the undergrowth. Flowering vines hang like a canopy from the roof. The meadow escapes into a bright blue spring sky. The human absence emphasizes the poetic charge of the landscape. Fernando Cabrera Cantó was a Spanish painter and sculptor. He began his artistic training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he was a disciple of the Alcoyano painter Lorenzo Casanova Ruiz, completed them in Madrid with Casto Plasencia and in Italy, a country to which he was able to travel thanks to a pension granted by the Provincial Council of Alicante. He collaborated with the architect Vicente Pascual Pastor in the decoration of the Casa del Pavo, one of the most outstanding works of modernism in Alcoy. In the back of this building he located his painting studio. In the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1890 he won the silver medal with a canvas entitled Orphans, and in the one held in 1906 he won the gold medal with the work Al abismo (To the abyss). His work is very influenced by the nineteenth century, mainly by the painters Mariano Fortuny, Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench and Eduardo Rosales, with modernist connections. His work is preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia.
