JOSE MARÍA BARREIRO (Forcarei, Pontevedra, 1940). "Galician musicians". Oil on táblex. Signed in the lower margin. Measurements: 68 x 55 cm; 86,5 x 74 cm (frame). José María Barreiro turns the glove to the folkloric subject in this oil painting with a couple of Galician musicians (a piper, a drummer) resolved with a post-fauve palette. Barreiro held his first solo exhibition in 1961, and two years later he undertook a study trip through Europe that took him to Paris. There he studied the French school and exhibited his work, which he also did in Belgium and Germany. Between 1965 and 1966 he painted a series of murals in commercial houses in Vigo, where he exhibited his work in 1967 at the Velázquez Gallery. In the following years he held exhibitions in different Spanish cities, and in 1969 he made a trip to Argentina, where he held a new exhibition. Settled in Buenos Aires, he combines painting with various decoration projects for Harrods. In 1971 he made a trip to Chile, Brazil and Uruguay, and on his return in 1972 he held an important exhibition in the Perla Marino Gallery in the Argentine capital. He returned to Spain and exhibited in Pontevedra, where he took part in the Biennial that same year. In the following years he held exhibitions in Galicia, Murcia, Valladolid, Madrid, Barcelona and Tenerife, and in 1986 a retrospective exhibition was held in Terra de Montes. Three years later he made his debut at the Durán art gallery in Madrid, where he exhibited biannually with great success. In 1991 he shows his work in the United States, at the Arte Chicago fair, and before the end of the year he also shows his work in Lisbon. During the nineties he will also show his work in Miami, without leaving aside his usual exhibitions in Spain.

"LAXEIRO"; JOSÉ OTERO ABELEDO (Lalín, Pontevedra, 1908 - Vigo, 1996). "Capricho", 1965. Oil on canvas. Attached certificate issued in 2022 by the Laxeiro Foundation. Signed in the lower left corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 50 x 40 cm. The 1960s was a period of experimentation in the career of the Galician artist, who abandoned figuration in search of a language where volume and fragmentation become protagonists. The pieces from this period, such as the present painting, reveal an intricate play of curves and counter-curves that are the protagonists in his synthetism, which seeks to enhance a play of forms. Laxeiro began his training as a child in Botos (Pontevedra), where he had Teresa López as his first teacher. Shortly after, in 1921, he emigrated to Cuba with his family. There he worked in crafts through which he approached the world of art, from engraving to glassmaking. He attended drawing classes and worked as an assistant to the Catalan Manuel Roig, choreographer of the Martí Theater. In 1925 he visited the exhibitions held in Cuba of Zuloaga and Jesús Corredoyra, and worked designing artistic stained glass. However, due to a serious illness he had to return to Spain, settling in Lalín. At this time he left professional painting aside, and established himself as an itinerant barber in 1926, often portraying his clients and various popular types. Two years later he began to make himself known, publishing vignettes in the "Faro de Vigo". The following year he also published his illustrations in "El Pueblo Gallego". In 1930 he receives painting classes from the Argentinean painter Enrique Larrañaga, in Vigo, and the following year he is granted a scholarship by the City Council of Lalín to continue his artistic studies in Madrid. He enters then as a free student in the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, and at the same time he frequents the gathering of the Granja del Henar. He returned to Galicia in 1933 and began to hold exhibitions, making his individual debut in 1934 at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters in Santiago de Compostela. After the war he settled in Pontevedra, where in 1940 he began his teaching career at the Valle-Inclán Institute. In the following years he obtained pensions from the Provincial Council, and resumed his exhibition career in Galicia, Madrid and Bilbao. In 1951 he was invited to hold an exhibition in Buenos Aires, the city where he finally decided to settle. In the seventies he returned definitively to Spain, living between Pontevedra and Madrid, exhibiting all over Spain, already as a fully recognized author. His awards include the Medal of the Biennial of Pontevedra, the Castelao Medal of the Junta de Galicia and the Gold Medal of the City Council of Vigo. He has his own museum in that city, as well as a monographic room in the Castrelos Museum and a wide representation in all Galician museums, as well as in numerous private collections in Spain and America. Attached is a certificate issued in 2022 by the Laxeiro Foundation.

Estim. 2 000 - 2 500 EUR

JUAN OLIVEIRA VIÉITEZ (Tuy, 1928 - Vigo, 2002). "Horse". Bronze sculpture, P.A. copy. Signed and justified. Measurements: 40 x 54 x 23 cm (sculpture); 3 x 40 x 24 cm (marble base). Round sculpture representing a galloping horse. The piece stands out for the great expressiveness that the artist achieves by molding the gesture of an animal that stands out for its dignity and magnificence in the pose. Joan José de Oliveira specialized, throughout his career, in animal sculpture, focusing especially on figures of bulls and horses. He dedicated himself to art late in life, especially in his 40s, but he achieved considerable public and critical success, and his large-format works are currently found in important public spaces in many Galician cities, Madrid, Guadalajara, Menorca and elsewhere. Some of his most important pieces can be seen in Vigo, in the Plaza de España, or in his hometown, Tuy. His work is always extremely expressive, figurative, but with synthetic forms, where the author seeks to reproduce movement, emotion, dynamism, rather than anatomical details, which he sometimes simplifies or, conversely, exaggerates, in order to convey the emotion he is looking for.
