About the Item
Landscape. Oil on canvas. FRAU, José (Spain, 1898- 1976).
Signed (lower right area).
José María Isidro Frau y Ruiz (Vigo, May 15, 1898-Madrid, March 24, 1976) was a Spanish painter and academic, appreciated for his landscapes and for being part of the Paular School of Painters (created by the Royal Decree on February 22, 1918, within the Chair of Landscape that the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando established in 1845 as part of the official teaching of its pedagogical programs in art, it stopped operating in 1936 and was recovered in 2018) . Known as José Frau, he began his pictorial training in Huelva with Antonio de la Torre and Eugenio Hermoso Huelva. In 1916 he entered the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, and, since 1917, he participated in the National Exhibitions of Madrid, also showing his work in Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Mexico, New York, etc. He traveled through South America in 1947, settling in Mexico three years later and returning to Spain in 1966. His work is preserved in prominent private collections and institutions such as the Quiñones Municipal Museum of León (Spain), the Museum of Fine Arts of La Coruña, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid, Spain), the Museum of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, etc. He has been considered one of the representatives of the equivalent of “magical realism” in Spain. His pictorial work is based on figurative premises and a naturalistic and symbolic formation. He participated in the process of renewal of Spanish painting in the 1920s and 1930s, evolving towards a post-impressionist style. Later he focused on a calm post-Cezannian modernity where he portrayed landscapes with figures recreated in fantastic and magical environments. During the postwar years he returned to a looser and more nervous brushstroke. In his latest works he used a Fauvist color palette in which highly contrasting greens, blues, earths and blacks predominated, while a progressive process of stylization occurred in his works in addition to the loss of the prominence of the human figure.
