RAFAEL CANOGAR GÓMEZ (Toledo, 1935). "Big head", 1987. Etching on paper. Copy 7/25. Signed and numbered in pencil. Measurements: 98 x 80 cm (print), 121 x 103 cm (paper), 133 x 115 cm (frame). Disciple of Daniel Vázquez Díaz, Canogar was co-founder of the group "El Paso", and during the fifties he developed a fully informalist work, which derives during the sixties in a complex figuration more and more narrative. During his mature stage, from 1975 onwards, Canogar invented a new iconography, his own and personal, which he expresses through the mask, the head, the face, as a representation of the man who loses his individuality and becomes a plastic sign, as can be seen in the work we now present. His awards include the National Prize for Plastic Arts (1982), he is a member of the San Fernando Academy, and is represented in the most important modern art collections around the world, such as the Reina Sofia Museum, the MOMA in New York, the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburg, the Rufino Tamayo Museum in Mexico, and the Chicago Art Institute, among many others. The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centennial of modern Olympism. The chosen artists are defined by diverse pictorial movements and trends.

MARIA ANTONIA DANS BOADO (Oza dos Ríos, A Coruña, 1922 - Madrid, 1988). "Labradora". Wax on paper. Signed in the lower margin. Measurements: 50 x 70 cm; 74 x 94 cm (frame). With an aesthetic close to naïff art, María Antonia Dans places the peasant woman in a landscape stratified in different chromatic strips that separate the sky, the mountain and the sown field. Fiery cerulean tones combine with touches of sienna and wheat. Dans updates here the "fauve" legacy in her own identifiable style. María Antonia Dans began her artistic training in the workshop of Dolores Díaz Baliño and at the School of Arts and Crafts in Oza dos Ríos (A Coruña). In the early 1950s she moved to Madrid, where she continued her studies and lived for the rest of her life, attending classes at the Círculo de Bellas Artes and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. In this city he also met Benjamín Palencia, who (along with Daniel Vázquez Díaz), would be his main influences. He stood out for a style sometimes described as "naïf" which, in reality, is closer to a neo-expressionism of deliberately naive roots, in which the influence of popular embroidery from his region of origin is very particular. Among his themes, it is necessary to highlight the landscapes, elementary with some mosaic often, and the themes related to agricultural work in the countryside or the sea, very frequent in his career. His work has been seen both in Madrid and A Coruña, but also in Paris (where he was awarded the Medal of the city) and in other cities, and is kept in various private collections and institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, in practically all the museums of contemporary art in Galicia (and in those of several Spanish provinces), etc.

DANIEL VÁZQUEZ DÍAZ (Nerva, Huelva, 1882 - Madrid, 1969). "The bathers". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right margin. Measurements: 57,5 x 68,5 cm; 70 x 82 cm (frame). This painting belongs to the Parisian stage of Daniel Vázquez Díaz, initial period of his career in which he knows the main protagonists of the avant-garde. However, he remains faithful to himself. He seeks his own heartbeat in the reality that surrounds him. The joy of living, the sensuality of young bodies harmonizing with nature, are themes that interest him at that time because they express his own feelings. The bathers by the river of crystalline waters have been resolved with a precise drawing, conjugated with luminous ranges. Daniel Vázquez Díaz began to paint in his student years, after discovering the work of Zurbarán and El Greco. In 1903 he moved to Madrid to focus on painting and copy the masters of the Prado, and there he became friends with Juan Gris, Solana and Dario de Regoyos. Three years later he settled in Paris, where he worked with the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle and met Picasso, Braque, Modigliani and Max Jacob, among others, and assimilated a certain avant-garde spirit. During these years he began to develop his personal style, which mixed the constructive brushstrokes of Cézanne with the geometric structure and planes of cubism. Upon his return to Spain in 1918, he began teaching, first in his studio and later at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts, where he obtained the chair of mural painting in 1932. Through his classes, Vázquez Díaz will spread a cubism of architectural monumentality, and that serves as a bridge to the young artists with the trends that were developing in the rest of Europe. In addition to being an excellent landscape painter, Vázquez Díaz stood out as an illustrator and portraitist of some of the most important figures of his time. Among his mural works, it is worth mentioning those made for the monastery of La Rábida in Huelva, between 1927 and 1930, which consecrated him as a painter. In 1968, a year before his death, he was appointed member of the Academy of San Fernando. He is currently represented in the Reina Sofía National Museum, the museum that bears his name in Nerva, the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Telefónica Foundation and the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Seville, among others.
