MANUEL COLMEIRO GUIMARÁS (Pontevedra, 1901 - Salvaterra do Minho, Pontevedra, 1999). "Spanish woman". 1949. Ink on paper. Signed and dated. Catalogued in "Drawings by Colmeiro". "Cuadernos de arte. Contemporary Masters of Drawing and Painting Collection", nº 8. By Rodríguez Sahagún Measurements: 55 x 43 cm; 80 x 69 cm (frame). In this drawing of costumbrista theme, Colmeiro extracts with firm stroke the essential of the Andalusian attire, like the comb and the mantilla. Large melancholy eyes illuminate the sharp oval face. A Galician painter who emigrated to Buenos Aires, Manuel Colmeiro combined his artistic studies there at night with work in a shoe factory. For a year he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, but he left to form a working group with other painters and sculptors. After this stage, where he developed an expressionist work, he returned to Galicia in 1926. Two years later he held his first exhibition in the salons of Faro de Vigo, and soon obtained a scholarship from the Diputación de Pontevedra to travel to Madrid and further his training at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. In the capital, Manuel Colmeiro showed, however, a greater interest in studying first-hand the great masters at the Prado Museum. He continued to make himself known, and in 1932 he took part in an exhibition of new Galician painters at Federico García Lorca's Barraca. However, when the civil war broke out, he went back to Buenos Aires, where he remained until 1948. During this second period in Argentina he will be in contact with Luis Seoane, Rafael Dieste and Rafael Alberti, among others. In 1949 he moved to Paris, where he remained for decades, until 1989, when he returned definitively to Galicia. In fact, Colmeiro is considered part of the Spanish School of Paris. In the 1960s he achieved massive international recognition, with solo exhibitions in London, Paris and Madrid. During these years his work is already focused on popular Galician themes, its culture and its people. He was part of the group known as "Os Novos" or "Os Renovadores", together with Seoane, Laxeiro, Arturo Souto and Maside. All of them, born at the beginning of the 20th century, were considered continuators of the "Nós Generation", and had in common a work with Galician themes combined with avant-garde aesthetics, mainly expressionism, cubism and abstraction. Among them, Colmeiro stood out for the intimate air of his images, accompanied by a lyrical concept of atmospheres, and in fact he was considered the most attached to the tradition of the group. Throughout his career, this artist was awarded several prizes, including the Prêmio das Artes de la Junta de Galicia in 1987 and the Prêmio Celanova, Casa dos Poetas in 1996. He is currently represented in the Afundación Collection, the María José Jove Foundation, the Abanca Collection and the Museum of Pontevedra, among other collections.

ALFONSO SUCASAS (Goiás, 1940-Ferreira,2012). "Veciños de Bailás. Lalín, 1999-2000. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 50 x 60 cm; 68 x 78 cm (frame). Alfonso Sucasas went beyond the classic folkloric typism in his representation of characters from Galician villages, which is demonstrated in this painting in which he represents three neighbors of Lalín, resolved with emphatic brushstrokes and an expressionist language of thick stroke and contrasted palette. One of the leading figures of Galician painting and considered one of the last classics of this discipline in Galicia, he has received numerous posthumous tributes, such as the retrospective at the Novacaixagalicia cultural center in Vigo. An unmistakable style and personal world that revolves around Galician roots but away from folklorisms determined his work. He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts. Later he continued his training in Madrid and traveled to Venezuela and Brazil, where he lived for several years. In 1968 he returned definitively to Galicia and developed his career as a painter, first with a socio-political painting to later focus on the interpretation of rural Galicia through a gestural and expressionist painting.
