FERNANDO ZÓBEL DE AYALA Y MONTOJO (Manila, Philippines, 1924 - Rome, Italy, 1984)."La ventanita", 1969.Oil on canvas.Work verified by the art historian Don Alfonso de la Torre.The piece will be included in the artist's catalogue raisonné.Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, dated, located (Seville) and titled on the back.Size: 40 x 40 cm; 55 x 55 cm (frame).The subject matter of the work and the period in which it was executed bring us closer to a period in which Zóbel worked aesthetically inspired by the view from his studio window. During this period he adapted his compositions to the landscape itself, basing them on the masses of stone and trees, synthesising the forms into a lyrical abstract expression in which the superfluous fades away. The work proposes a dialogue where the concept of the window, which is represented by the geometric forms defined in the centre of the image, merges into a subtle, vibrant and metaphorical atmosphere. The theorist José Hierro defined this period of the artist as follows: "We are in the realm of painting as a "mental thing", in the Platonic world of ideas. Zóbel finds the embryo of his work in nature. But he needs this raw material to lose its consistency, its geological elementality, to become a product of intelligence assisted by sensibility. The whole quest consists in finding an essence that is the "objective correlate" of the landscape seen, seen again, travelled through, dreamt of. Zóbel acts with the serenity of a chemist who breaks down a substance into its simple elements...".Also known as Fernando M. Zóbel, he was a Spanish Filipino painter, businessman, art collector and founder of the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca. Zóbel was born in Ermita, Manila in the Philippines, and was a member of the prominent and well-to-do Zóbel de Ayala family. It was his uncle who would teach the young Fernando his first knowledge of art. Zóbel studied medicine at the University of Santo Tomás in Manila. In 1942, he suffered a spinal deficiency that forced him to stay in bed that year. To pass the time, he turned to painting. He studied at the University of Santo Tomas and then transferred to Harvard University in 1946 to pursue degrees in history and literature. He finally graduated in three years and wrote a thesis on the work of Federico García Lorca. Zóbel began painting during this period without formal training at Harvard. In the fall of 1946 he met Jim Pfeufer and his wife Reed Champion Pfeufer. Reed was a painter who was loosely related to the Boston School, and she became a mentor to the young artist. Zóbel graduated in 1949 magna cum laude. After completing his degree, he returned briefly to Harvard to study law, and then worked as a curator at the Houghton Library. He founded the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art at Casa Colgadas, in the city of Cuenca, Spain, in 1963. The museum was expanded in 1978, and in 1980 Zóbel donated his collection to the Fundación Juan March, which later incorporated it into its own collection. Zóbel was a mentor and collector who assisted in the careers of Spanish modernist painters, including Antonio Lorenzo, Eusebio Sempere, Martín Chirino López, Antonio Saura and many others. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Zóbel was working on a series of paintings called Dialogues which were his abstract variations on paintings he admired in museums. He also produced a series of paintings inspired by the river Júcar in Cuenca. After suffering a stroke that left him slightly impaired, he created a series called "Las Orillas" which he produced on the theme of rivers. In 1983, King Juan Carlos of Spain awarded Zóbel the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts.
