      JOSÉ MORENO VILLA (Málaga, 1887 - Mexico City, 1955). "The Three Graces", ca. 1927. Oil on canvas. With label on the back of the Guillermo de Osma Gallery. Size: 55 x 44 cm; 70 x 64 cm (frame). José Moreno Villa reinterprets in this canvas the theme of the three Graces through a clearly contemporary optic, although the three protagonists embrace each other forming a circle, as they do in Renaissance paintings and in some ancient sculptures. The artist seeks dynamism and rhythm obtained from the juxtaposition of nuanced shapes and colours, all arranged in a balanced and studied composition, vibrant and eloquent. A multidisciplinary artist belonging to the Generation of 1927, José Moreno Villa was a poet, columnist, critic, art historian, draughtsman and painter, and during the Second Spanish Republic he was director of the National Palace Archive. At the outbreak of the Civil War he went into exile in America, settling first in the United States and finally in Mexico. He studied chemistry in Germany and art history in Madrid, collaborated with the Institución Libre de Enseñanza and frequented the Residencia de Estudiantes. He became friends with Alberto Sánchez Pérez and Benjamín Palencia, with whom he took part in 1925 in the Exhibition of the Society of Iberian Artists and whom he accompanied in the first Vallecas School. As an art historian and archivist, he contributed to research into Spain's artistic heritage and to the dissemination of modern architecture from the 1920s onwards; he was the first architecture critic and analyst in the newspaper "El Sol", collaborated with the magazine of the Madrid School of Architecture and organised Le Corbusier's first visit to Spain. Once in Mexico, in his own words, his production became "Mexicanised", and in fact he wrote his "Cornucopia mexicana" (1940) about this country, as well as writing and publishing his biography there. He is currently well represented in the Museo de Málaga, as well as in the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid and the Museo Carmen Thyssen, among other outstanding collections.
