AGUSTÍN ÚBEDA ROMERO (Herencia, Ciudad Real, 1925 - Madrid, 2007). "Emeraude". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Signed, titled and located on the back. Measurements: 131 x 162 cm; 135 x 166 cm (frame). Surrealist painter, framed within the so-called Spanish School of Paris, Agustín Úbeda was a great connoisseur of the History of Art and a man of wide culture. He entered the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1944, where he was a disciple of Vázquez Díaz, Eugenio Hermoso and Joaquín Valverde, receiving the title of professor of drawing in 1948. He made his individual debut in 1949 at the Casino of Alcazar de San Juan, and in 1952, at the age of twenty-seven, he held his first personal exhibition in Madrid, which took place at the Xagra gallery. The following year he settled in Paris, thanks to a scholarship from the French Institute. After winning two consecutive prizes in the Young French Painting Contest, a second prize in 1956 and a first prize the following year, the doors of the prestigious Drouant-David gallery in Paris were opened to him, where he regularly exhibited his work from then on. In 1960 he received the Gold Mill of the XXI Manchegan Exhibition of Valdepeñas, and three years later he was awarded the bronze medal at the V Biennial of Alexandria. It was shortly before he made the leap, from the Biosca Gallery in Madrid, to the United States, the world center of art at that time. Professor Emeritus of the Complutense University of Madrid and Full Member of the Royal Academy of Doctors, Ubeda continued to receive important awards throughout his long career, especially highlighting the Grand Prize for Painting of the Circle of Fine Arts in 1980. Likewise, in 1998 the Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid exhibited a retrospective that covered his work between 1944 and 1998. That same year Úbeda held an anthological exhibition of thirty-five paintings at the Caja de San Fernando in Seville, dedicated to three of his constant themes: the landscape, the female nude and the still life. Agustín Úbeda has held individual exhibitions in several Spanish cities, as well as in France, Switzerland and the United States. He is currently represented in the Museums of the Villa in Geneva and Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts in Jaen, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Badajoz, the Museum of Modern Art in Valdepeñas, the Museum of Engraving in Marbella, the Municipal Museum in Toledo, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the Provincial Museum in Ciudad Real and, in the United States, the Museums of New Mexico, San Diego, Phoenix, Lowe in Miami and Evansille in Indiana.

AGUSTÍN REDONDELA (Madrid, 1922 - 2015). "The olive grove (Guadalajara)", 1978. Oil on canvas. Presents label on the back of the Biosca Gallery (Madrid). It has faults in the frame. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Signed, dated, titled and located (Madrid) on the back. Measurements: 46 x 55 cm; 70 x 79 cm (frame). In this work Redondela offers us a sober landscape, typically Castilian, dominated by an atmosphere of great evocative power, based on the contrast of the tonalities of the foreground with the sky. The painter leaves aside the narrative description of the landscape to build it using only the color, very worked and studied, and a synthetic, expressive and emphatic line based on thick black strokes. Guadalajara was a prolific scene in Agustín Redondela's painting, becoming the protagonist of many of his works. A mainly self-taught painter, considered one of the most original Spanish landscape painters of the 20th century, Agustín González Alonso trained with his father, the painter and scenographer José González "Redondela". After the civil war he attended classes at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid with the landscape painter José Ordoñez, and in 1945 he sent for the first time a painting to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, signed with the pseudonym Redondela. That same year he held his first personal exhibition at the Estilo Gallery in Madrid. It was at this time when he came into contact with the Madrid School, and in 1947 he was selected to exhibit at the Salón de los Once de la Academia Breve e Crítica de Arte de Eugenio d'Ors. In the fifties Redondela obtained a grant from the Catherword Foundation of Philadelphia (1954), the National Painting Prize (1953) and the first medal at the National Exhibition (1957). Throughout his career he combined painting with stage design, working for plays by Jacinto Benavente, Joaquín Calvo Sotelo, Dodie Smith and Peter Ustinov, among others. He also did some work as an illustrator, including a luxurious edition of Cela's "Viaje a la Alcarria" in 1978. In 1996 the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando awarded him the José González de la Peña prize, and two years later the Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid dedicated an important anthological exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museum of Fine Arts in La Coruña, the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Landscape in Priego de Córdoba, the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the museums of Buenos Aires, Caracas and Havana, and the Oswaldo Guayasamín House-Museum in Quito, among other public and private collections. Presents label on the back of the Biosca Gallery (Madrid). It has faults in the frame.
