JOSÉ LUIS ALEXANCO (Madrid, 1942-2021). "Boscuman", 1991. Acrylic on cotton canvas. Signed and dated on the back. Titled and dated on the stretcher frame. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm; 154 x 154 cm (frame). Alexanco studied drawing and engraving with Manuel Castro Gil at the Casa de la Moneda, in Madrid, and in 1960 he enters the School of Fine Arts. Between 1968 and 1974 he collaborated with other artists at the University's Calculus Center, where he worked on sculptural generation programs, in collaboration with the American company IBM. During this period he met the mathematician José Barbera, and together they developed the software MOUVNT, designed to generate automatic forms that would later materialize in anthropomorphic sculptures. In 1970, together with Luis de Pablo, he created the acoustic plastic show "Soledad Interrumpida", trained in Buenos Aires. In the following years he would continue to work with the same author on various projects, including the organization of the Pamplona Encounters of 1972. In 1978 he designed the prince edition of the Spanish Constitution for the Editora Nacional, and in 1998 he presented an important retrospective exhibition at the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica in Barcelona (later at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid). A referent of late Francoist painting and a technological innovator, his work is part of collections such as those of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, The Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, MNCARS, Madrid; MACBA, Barcelona or the Juan March Foundation.

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.
