Joaquín Ruiz-Peinado Vallejo was a cubist painter, successor of Cézanne and spiritual son of Picasso, he was one of the most outstanding representatives of the Spanish School of Paris. He entered the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1918, and during the following years he became a disciple of Cecilio Plá and Julio Romero de Torres, and was awarded a scholarship for three years at the Monastery of Santa María de El Paular, winning the El Paular Painting Prize in 1922. In 1923, once he finished his studies, he went to Paris, where he settled permanently. There he attended the classes given at the Ranson, Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière academies, while he became interested in cubist painting, an aesthetic that he would personalize and maintain in his works. Also, in 1924 he showed his work at the Salons des Indépendants, Surindépendants and d'Automne. Nevertheless, from the city of the Seine he continued to be part of the Spanish artistic life, participating in the mythical First Exhibition of the Society of Iberian Artists in 1925, and illustrating the magazines "Litoral", "Gallo" and "La Gaceta Literaria", as well as "La flor de California" (1928) by José María Hinojosa. Also, in 1926 he won the Painting Prize of the Diputación de Málaga. Three years later, in 1929, he participated in two important exhibitions of avant-garde art in Spain: the Exhibition of Paintings and Sculptures of Spanish Residents in Paris, at the Botanical Garden in Madrid, and the Regional Exhibition of Modern Art, at the Casa de los Tiros in Granada. He also maintained a relationship with the performing arts, like other artists of the time, participating in the films "Un perro andaluz" (1929) and "La edad de oro" (1930), by his friend Buñuel, or as a set designer and draftsman for "Carmen", by Feyder (1925). Likewise, in 1926 he participated in the representation of "El retablo de Maese Pedro" by Falla in Amsterdam together with Buñuel, Cossío, Viñes and Ángeles Ortiz. Over time, his artistic career would lead him to occupy a prominent position within the School of Paris; he would be director of the Painting Section of the Union of Spanish Intellectuals and later vice-president of the same, and UNESCO would appoint him delegate of the Section of Spanish Painters of the School of Paris. Also, in 1946 he was one of the organizers of the exhibition "Art of Republican Spain. Spanish Artists of the School of Paris", held in Prague and, due to its enormous success, later also in Brno. From that date on, his international exhibitions were frequent, both individual and collective, being grouped within the best French art of the time. However, it was not until 1969 when a retrospective of his work was held in Spain; organized by the Dirección General de Bellas Artes and held at the Museo de Arte Español Contemporáneo in Madrid, this exhibition consecrated his figure in our country. In fact, that same year he was appointed member of the Royal Academy of San Telmo in Malaga. Currently his work is widely represented in the museum that bears his name in Ronda, as well as in the Unicaja collection and many other public and private collections.
