ANTÓN LAMAZARES SILVA (Lalín, Pontevedra, 1954).Untitled, 1981.Gouache, ink, wax and cardboard on panel.There is a tear in the frame and some damage.Signed in the lower central area.Provenance: private collection conceived since the 1970s between London and Madrid.Measurements: 126 x 122 cm; 151 x 146 cm (frame).In this piece on cardboard, the artist not only composes the work on the basis of drawing and colour, but also intervenes directly on the support by tearing and manipulating the texture of the cardboard. A characteristic that he explored in several works such as 'A Sepultura de Fiz', 1985, which belongs to the collection of the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Artium, located in Vitoria. The expressive pictorial language with complementary colours used as a background and a figure with deformed features indicate that it is probably a work from before 1987. This is the year in which he travelled to New York and his style changed towards informalism and abstraction.A painter, sculptor and engraver with an anarchic background and an anarchic life, Lamazares has worked in Galicia, Madrid and the United States, where his expressionist, synoptic work, sometimes on perishable materials such as corrugated cardboard, is highly appreciated. Lamazares suggests ingenuities which, nevertheless, emerge from careful meditation. He became known, like so many other painters, in the group exhibitions in the Plaza de la Princesa, sponsored by the Vigo City Council, in 1973. The following year he made his individual debut in Compostela, and was also present at the first edition of Atlántica, in Bayonne (Vigo), in 1980. That same year he began to cross borders and exhibited in Buenos Aires. He obtained grants and was selected for very restrictive exhibitions, such as the one held at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Madrid. His work travelled to Brazil, Germany, France, the United States... and before he was thirty years old he was already a celebrity, an essential name in the panorama of young Spanish painting. Among his numerous personal exhibitions are those held in the galleries Ánfora (Madrid, 1977), Elisabeth Franck (Belgium, 1982), Müller (Winterthur, Switzerland, 1985), Facchetti (New York, 1988), Engström (Stockholm, 1990), Citania (Santiago de Compostela, 1991) and Pelaires (Palma de Mallorca, 1992), among many others. Lamazares began with a very synthetic expressionist figuration, characterised by a great economy of means. He gradually evolved towards a more meditated, more serene and fully informalist painting, in which large black spaces and geometric structures dominate. In his paintings a random thing, a non-existent object, is installed in a neutral space, and allows the spectator an imaginary dialogue of diverse suggestions. Antón Lamazares is represented in all the contemporary art museums in Galicia, as well as in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Caixanova collection and various public and private collections abroad.

AGUSTÍN REDONDELA (Madrid, 1922)."Montiel".Watercolour on paper.Signed in the lower right corner. Titled in the centre.Provenance: private collection conceived since the 70s between London and Madrid.Measurements: 17 x 24 cm; 52 x 43 cm (frame).Agustín Redondela captures in this canvas a scene of sober chromatism, expressive and contained at the same time, of sketchy and forceful forms, where the volumes are constructed on the basis of planes, defined and almost cézannian profiles and a fluid, changing and very nuanced colour, which determines a cold and clear atmosphere. The space is organised in two planes, with the group of characters in the first, in front of the monolithic houses, and in the background the mountain range that rises like a wall enclosing the space, its rounded peaks outlined against a leaden sky of almost white blue tones.A mainly self-taught painter, considered one of the most original Spanish landscape painters of the 20th century, Agustín González Alonso trained with his father, the painter and scenographer José González "Redondela". After the Civil War he attended classes at the Madrid School of Arts and Crafts with the landscape painter José Ordoñez, and in 1945 he sent a painting to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts for the first time, signed with the pseudonym Redondela. That same year he held his first personal exhibition at the Estilo gallery in Madrid. It was at this time that he came into contact with the Madrid School, and in 1947 he was selected to exhibit at the Salón de los Once de la Academia Breve e Crítica de Arte de Eugenio d'Ors. In the fifties Redondela won a grant from the Catherword Foundation in Philadelphia (1954), the National Painting Prize (1953) and the first medal at the National Exhibition (1957). Throughout his career he combined painting with stage design, working for plays by Jacinto Benavente, Joaquín Calvo Sotelo, Dodie Smith and Peter Ustinov, among others. He also did some work as an illustrator, including a luxurious edition of Cela's "Viaje a la Alcarria" in 1978. In 1996 the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando awarded him the José González de la Peña prize, and two years later the Centro Cultural de la Villa de Madrid dedicated an important anthological exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museum of Fine Arts in La Coruña, the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Landscape in Priego de Córdoba, the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the museums of Buenos Aires, Caracas and Havana and the Oswaldo Guayasamín House-Museum in Quito, among other public and private collections.
