FRANCISCO BORES LÓPEZ (Madrid, 1898- Paris, 1972)."Nature morte au compotier", 1951.Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Provenance: Work acquired at the Art Curial gallery in Paris in June 1982.Work published in "Francisco Borés. Catalogue Raisonné. Pintura, Tomo II, 1945-1972", Hélène Dechanet, MNCARS and Fundación Telefónica, Madrid, 2003.Work exhibited in "Bores, Retrospective 1923-1972". Peintures, gouaches, dessins" 1982, Artcurial Paris, pg 28.Size: 59 x 71 cm; 63 x 76 cm (frame).This painting belongs to an extremely fertile creative period for Bores. Even though he was already an internationally recognised artist in the fifties, his work, far from stagnating, continued to expand the limits between figuration and abstraction. Here we see a return to the object through the still life but without renouncing the two-dimensionality, the intellectual synthesis and the force of colour applied in planes that defined his painting.Francisco Bores trained at Cecilio Pla's painting academy, where he met Pancho Cossío, Manuel Ángeles Ortiz and Joaquín Peinado, among others. During this period he made engravings for a large number of magazines, such as "Horizonte" and "Revista de Occidente", and attended the Julio Moisés Free Academy, where he coincided with Dalí and Benjamín Palencia. In 1922 he took part for the first time in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, and three years later he showed his work at the first Exhibition of the Society of Iberian Artists. He travelled to Paris, where he came into contact with Picasso and Juan Gris, and made his individual debut in 1927, contracted by the Percier gallery. In 1929 he took part in the exhibition "Pintores y escultores españoles residentes en París" (Spanish Painters and Sculptors Resident in Paris), held at the Botanical Gardens in Madrid. In 1931 he had a solo exhibition at the Georges Bernheim gallery in Paris, and at the same time he signed a contract with the Swiss gallery owner Max Esiherberger. In 1932 and 1933 he exhibited at the Vavin-Raspail gallery in Paris, coinciding with the appearance of the first monograph on his painting. In the mid-1930s he was contracted by the Zwemmer gallery in London. In 1947 the French state acquired a work by Bores for the first time. In 1949 the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought his paintings. In the 1950s he continued to exhibit his works in many European galleries. In 1969 he exhibited at the Galería Theo in Madrid. In 1971 he exhibited again at the same Galería Theo, and died in Paris in 1972. Francisco Bores is represented in the most important museums all over the world, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Jerusalem, Gotemborg and Baltimore, the MOMA in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the National Galleries of Athens, Brno and Edinburgh, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Madrid and the National Gallery of Madrid.

"In 1754, at the age of 27, a botanist born in Leiden, Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, made his first expedition to Central America. He was collecting seeds and plants for the Imperial gardens at Schonbrunn in Vienna. He took with him his Dutch head gardener and two Italian zoologists, and initially they concentrated on Grenada, Martinique, and Domingo, then under the control of the French. Von Jacquin sent the others home, in succession, laden with plants, but was himself captured by the British and kept prisoner for over a year. On his release, he remained in America, visiting Cuba and Jamaica to collect more plants before returning to Vienna in 1759.
