Description

"COMPOSTELA"; FRANCISCO VÁZQUEZ DÍAZ (Santiago de Compostela, 1898 - San Juan de Puerto Rico, 1988). "The bear and the strawberry tree". Patinated bronze. Signed. Measurements: 12 x 9 x 10 cm. The pseudonym of Compostela was used by the sculptor in order to differentiate himself from the painter Daniel Vázquez Díaz. His work, apart from portraits, is fundamentally animalistic, with an art-deco accent and a strong ironic sense derived from Don Quixote and The Island of the Penguins, by Anatole France. In 1929 he participated in the elaboration of the Galician Pavilion at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville, receiving the Gold Medal; that year he also obtained with Plena carrera the Second Class Honorary Diploma at the Fine Arts Exposition in Barcelona. During the Republic he participated in the National Exhibitions of 1932 and 1936, in the Autumn Salons of 1931, 1932 and 1935 and in the Exhibition of Galician Art, held in Santiago in 1935, while he also held individual exhibitions in Vigo and Madrid.
