José Luis Rey Vila Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

1900-1983

José Luis Rey Vila was a Spanish artist from Cadice. He studied at the School of Fine Arts of Cadice and Barcelona. In 1921, he returned from North Africa with an album of drawings against politics. In Barcelona, Vila worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for Ford and as an illustrator for several art magazines. In 1936, he participated as an artist in the Social Revolution. He realized a watercolor album Estampas de la revoluciòn española for international propaganda. Vila adopted the name of SIM to protect his family in Siviglia. His artistic style is characterized by strong and rigid outlines. In 1937, Vila moved to Paris (for the International Exposition). He opened his atelier in Buttes-Chaumont. He often traveled around Europe and exhibited his works in Paris and La Havana. Vila has never gone back to Spain.
