Don Fink (1923-2010) Abstract composition 1956 Oil on canvas signed and dated lower right 52 x 102 cm Condition report: Framed Born in Duluth, Minnesota (USA), and after studying at the Art Student League in New York, Don Fink spent several periods in Paris in the 1950s, exhibiting at the Craven Gallery. Influenced by Pollock, but also by the New School of Paris, he developed a calligraphic style composed of very fine black lines, sometimes scratched, taking precedence over or fading into almost monochrome backgrounds. Very little information remains, and a certain enigma surrounds the work of this painter with his singular, innovative style.

JOSÉ GUERRERO (Granada, 1914 - Barcelona, 1991). Untitled, 1985. Oil on lithographic background. Signed and dated. Bibliography: Baena, Francisco; Guibault, Serge; Ramírez, Juan Antonio; Romero Gómez, Yolanda; Vallejo Ulecia, Inés, Catalogue Raisonné Vol. II. 1970-1991, ed. Centro José Guerrero, page 1090, nº 1133. Measurements: 68 x 48 cm; 82 x 64 cm (frame). Spanish painter and engraver nationalized American, José Guerrero developed his work within the abstract expressionism. He began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Granada, and soon moved to Madrid to continue his studies at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, where he was a student of Daniel Vázquez Díaz. In 1942 he obtained a scholarship from the Casa de Velázquez, and in 1945 he moved to Paris thanks to a new scholarship, this time granted by the French government. In the French capital he got to know first hand the European avant-garde, and came into contact with the Spanish painters of the School of Paris. Since then, his work is full of avant-garde echoes and Picasso's signs, clearly visible in this work, features that he will abandon in the fifties, when he discovers abstract expressionism in New York. He arrived in that city in 1950, encouraged by his wife, the New York journalist Roxana Pollock, whom he had married a year earlier. In 1954 he exhibited with Joan Miró at the Art Club of Chicago, an exhibition that meant his definitive international projection. His dealer was Betty Parson, one of the most important gallery owners in New York at the time. Guerrero's style then changed completely, showing a profound influence of Rothko and Kline; he definitively abandoned figuration and built compositions where a marked tension between spaces, colors and unrecognizable objects was evident. He returns to Spain in 1965, and participates in the creation of the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca. He soon returned to New York, although he continued to make trips to Spain. His production, which continues to be characterized by the power of masses of color, planes and lines, is influenced at this time by Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman. Today, José Guerrero is recognized as one of the most outstanding Spanish painters of the New York School. He achieved early recognition, being named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 1959. Likewise, in 1976 his first anthological exhibition was held in his hometown. In 1984 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts, and in 1989 he was decorated by the Rodriguez Acosta Foundation. In 2000 the art center that bears his name was inaugurated in Granada, created from the donation made by his widow to the Provincial Council. He is also represented in various museums and collections, including the Guggenheim Museum, the MOMA and the Metropolitan in New York, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the British Museum and the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid.
