SANTIAGO MONTES LUENGAS (Villa de Laredo, Cantabria, 1911 - 1954). "Composition". Oil on canvas. Signed Measurements: 81 x 65 cm.; 103 x 86 cm.(frame). Santiago Montes Luengas was a Spanish painter recognized for his original works and as a copyist of the Prado Museum. During the Spanish Civil War, he faced the challenge of remaining in hiding for eight years, followed by subsequent imprisonment. In Yeserías prison in Madrid, he painted portraits of several of his fellow prisoners, including Cipriano Rivas Cherif, Manuel Azaña's brother-in-law. Coming from a family of fishermen with seven brothers, Santiago experienced the pain of losing his brother Ángel, shot in the Dueso prison as a result of the same conflict. With the arrival of the Civil War, Montes, who fought on the side of the Republican Government, and just before the capture of Santander by the rebels in 1936, tried unsuccessfully to flee to France by boat. Failing all attempts at voluntary exile, he decided to hide, according to common practice, in his own house, in a camouflaged hiding place in the attic, which only he and his wife knew about, and which they kept hidden from their four children to prevent them from unwittingly betraying him. During the forced confinement Montes painted and drew obsessively. At the end of World War II in 1945, coinciding with an amnesty of the Franco regime, Montes decided to come out of hiding and surrender to the authorities, who kept him in prison for almost a year while waiting for the application of the amnesty. During his stay in the prison for political prisoners of Yeserías in Madrid, as well as in Santander, he made numerous portraits of his fellow prisoners, such as that of Cipriano Rivas Cherif, brother-in-law of Manuel Azaña, President of the Second Spanish Republic. In 1946, having gathered enough evidence to clear him of serious crimes, he was released and began a new professional and creative stage that led him to become the official copyist of the Prado Museum, making copies of Mantegna, Van Der Weyden, or Murillo so good that even experts find it difficult to differentiate them from the originals. Parallel to the numerous commissions for copies, almost all of them from foreign tourists visiting the museum, Montes produced his own personal pictorial work in an artistic career that was abruptly interrupted in 1954 by his premature death at the age of forty-three.

ROBERTO MATTA (Santiago de Chile, 1911 - Civitavecchia, Italy, 2002). Untitled. Etching on paper, copy 49/75. Signed and justified by hand. Size: 38.5 x 29.5 cm (print); 67 x 50 cm (paper); 81.5 x 65.5 cm (frame). Roberto Matta was an architect, poet, humanist and painter, whose works of surrealist and metaphysical inspiration illustrate a dreamlike world linked to modern technological civilisation. The son of a large family with a tendency towards the artistic world, greatly influenced by his maternal grandfather, he trained as an architect in Santiago de Chile and with Le Corbusier in Paris between 1934 and 1935, where he became friends with the painter Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso. At the outbreak of World War II he moved to the United States, where he lived in New York from 1939 to 1948. There he met André Breton, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy and André Masson, and his style had a decisive influence on the formulation of American Abstract Expressionism. Matta devoted himself to works in which he repeated depictions of volcanoes and earthquakes, all of them under the theme of the cosmic creation of nature. Matta's work added new dimensions to contemporary painting, despite his break - for unknown reasons - with the Surrealist movement in 1947. Settling in Rome, he continued to evolve his career during the 1950s. He travelled to South America, portraying and capturing the essence of the native peoples. Although he rejoined the surrealist world in 1959, he experimented with different forms of artistic expression, including video productions such as "Système 88", photography and other means of expression. In 1967 he moved to Tarquinia, Italy, varying his residence in long stays in Paris, London and New York. In 1971 he worked on a revolutionary air art, executing collective murals in the commune of La Granja. He is represented in the world's leading modern art galleries, such as the MoMA and the Metropolitan in New York, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Tate Gallery in London. Matta's style led him to become one of the most important artists of the 20th century, receiving high international distinctions including the National Art Prize from the Chilean Government.
