Diputación de Jaén, 2010, p. 478. -Exhibitions: Colegio de Arquitectos, Barcelona, 1965 (col. relation, the current one). Caja de Madrid, Barcelona and Madrid 1986, number 37 (reproduced in catalog, page 69). -Bibliography: GUZMÁN, M., Catalogación..., number 233, pages 370-371. GUZMÁN, M., La pintura de R. Zabaleta, page 374. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 81 x 65 cm; 97 x 82 cm (frame). Following the words of the Catalog regarding this painting, the artist"presents us with a frontal composition, staging in a small enclosure the open figure of a cow; hanging by the hind legs and open in channel, behind which appears the butcher wielding the knife. It uses a frontal perspective, marking the interior space, in which governs a distributive system determined by bilateral symmetry, according to which a perpendicular axis divides it into two equal parts. It is set in warm colors, highlighting the reds of the flesh to contrast with the greenish gray environment and uses the ocher and earth passages, all of them very nuanced. The volumes are resolved with great amplitude. The inexpression of the character stands out in the painting, rigid and hieratic, without any gesticulation, he appears as another element, without the action that could be derived from his protagonism. This is a thematic first, which he returns to on two other occasions; Matarife, 1951 and Carnicero, 1957. Its remote precedent, as far as the theme is concerned, is to be found in Rembrandt and close to Solana. A work in which he links an environmental and local theme treated with the plastic language of modernity, in which inclinations towards Fauve and expressionist poetics are pointed out". Chromatically the pictorial surface is dominated by reds, pinks and yellows that contrast with the greens, the latter of low tone and grayish. The color extends without emerging on the surface of the canvas, remaining definitively exposed at the first intention, so that the pictorial matter remains fresh and fluid. The work represents Zabaletian painting and defines by itself the Hispanic expressionism, with a lot of Fauvism and clear cubist connotations. Born into a wealthy family, Rafael Zabaleta showed his love for painting since he was a child, so after finishing his high school studies he moved to Madrid and entered, in 1925, in the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. There he will have as teachers Lainez Alcalá, Cecilio Pla and Ignacio Pinazo, and in 1932 he participates for the first time in a group exhibition, that of the students of San Fernando. One of his works, entitled "La pareja," was selected to illustrate the critical review that Manuel Abril made for the magazine "Blanco y Negro". Three years later Zabaleta made his first trip to Paris, where he met and studied the works of the masters of contemporary painting. In 1937 he was appointed delegate of the National Artistic Treasure, and also around this time he began a series of drawings on the Civil War. At the end of the war he was denounced, and briefly spent time in the concentration camp of Higuera de Calatrava and in Jaen prison, where his two albums of drawings made during the war were seized. Finally freed, in 1940 he settles in Madrid, where he attends the gatherings at the Café Gijón and draws and paints at the Círculo de Bellas Artes. Two years later he visits Aurelio Biosca, director of the Madrid gallery Biosca, with a letter of introduction from the sculptor Manolo Hugué. There he held his first individual exhibition that same year, after being rejected at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. However, the following year he participates in the First Salón de los Once and becomes a member of the Academia Breve de Crítica de Arte de Eugenio d'Ors, to which Biosca also belonged. Zabaleta will take part in most of his Salones de los Once and anthological exhibitions. In 1945 Zabaleta participates in the group show "Floreros y bodegones" held at the National Museum of Modern Art, while he continues to exhibit individually and collectively in galleries in the capital. In 1947 he holds his first personal exhibition in Barcelona, at the Argos Gallery, and his first monograph is published. Two years later he travels again to Paris, coming into contact with Picasso, Óscar Domínguez, M. Ángeles Ortiz and others. The year of his definitive consecration will be 1951, when he holds a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid. In 1955 he was awarded the UNESCO Prize at the Hispano-American Biennial in Barcelona. That same year he participates in the Biennial of the Mediterranean held in Alexandria, and holds a solo exhibition in Bilbao. During his last years Zabaleta will be an artist already fully recognized, invited to the most important exhibitions and salons both in Spain and in foreign cities of the importance of Paris. The most important collection of his work is in the Zabaleta Museum of Quesada, although it is also present in the most prestigious museums of the world, in cities such as Buenos Aires, New York or Tokyo.

Bibliography: - GUZMAN, M., Cataloging, number 322, page 529. - GUZMÁN, M., The painting of R. Zabaleta, page 391. Measurements: 34 x 40 cm; 50.5 x 58.5 cm (frame). Rafael Zabaleta was an extremely versatile painter, capable of developing in parallel a post-cubist work in which the image is fragmented evoking colorful stained glass windows and, at the same time, an apparently traditional landscape painting, but in which the avant-garde legacy can be appreciated. To this second group belongs the landscape of the Castilian countryside that we are dealing with. The brushstrokes here are protean: they metamorphose into circles to represent the iridescent tops of the trees, in broken strokes across the fields... The influence of Cézanne also beats in the essentialist and synthetic reduction of nature. "In the foreground, he depicts an almost flat field, covered with grass, enclosed by a wall and with its access gate. Some tiny crosses can be seen dotted, and, immediately behind, the terrain begins to rise until it ends in the fiery mountains that barely allow the sky to be seen. He interprets the mosaic of plots combining the most varied greens with Venetian reds, placing the dark, very fallen, in the last term. The inclination of the planes in the farmland and the orographic features can be distinguished with precision. A sketch with great expressive force, with a clear Fauvist tendency, in which the simplicity and monumental size of its forms stand out", it is stated in the artist's Catalogue Raisonné. Born into a wealthy family, Rafael Zabaleta showed his love for painting since he was a child, so after finishing his high school studies he moved to Madrid and entered, in 1925, the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. There he will have as teachers Lainez Alcalá, Cecilio Pla and Ignacio Pinazo, and in 1932 he participates for the first time in a group exhibition, that of the students of San Fernando.

Rafael Zabaleta was an extremely versatile painter, capable of developing in parallel a work of cubist heritage in which the image is fragmented evoking colorful stained glass windows and, at the same time, an apparently traditional style but in which the avant-garde legacy can be appreciated. This second case occurs in the painting we are bidding for, of which María Guzmán Pérez, the greatest expert in Zabaleta's pictorial work, states that "it lacks all perspective, whose superimposed objects totally cover the pictorial space. The primary scheme is built by an oval and a rhombus, making the axes of both coincide. The drawing is very simple, the forms being insinuated by a dark line that draws them, with no other purpose than to make them recognizable". Born into a well-to-do family, Rafael Zabaleta showed his love for painting as a child, so after finishing his high school studies he moved to Madrid and entered, in 1925, the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. There he will have as teachers Lainez Alcalá, Cecilio Pla and Ignacio Pinazo, and in 1932 he participates for the first time in a group exhibition, that of the students of San Fernando.

      RAFAEL ZABALETA FUENTES (Quesada, Jaén, 1907 - 1960). El barranco del lobo ("The Wolf's Ravine"). 1946. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. It has a label from the Ministry of National Education on the back, due to the inclusion of the painting in an anthology of the artist. Measurements: 82 x 66 cm; 100 x 83 cm (frame). Rafael Zabaleta was an extremely versatile painter, capable of developing in parallel a post-cubist work in which the image is fragmented evoking colourful stained glass windows and, at the same time, a landscape painting apparently traditional but in which the avant-garde legacy can be appreciated. The present landscape with wolf belongs to this second group. The brushstrokes here are protean: they metamorphose into circles to represent the iridescent tops of the trees, broken strokes on the rocks, etc. Cezanne's influence is also evident in the essentialist and synthetic reduction of nature. Born into a well-to-do family, Rafael Zabaleta showed a love of painting from an early age, and after completing his secondary school studies he moved to Madrid and enrolled at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1925. His teachers there were Lainez Alcalá, Cecilio Pla and Ignacio Pinazo, and in 1932 he took part for the first time in a group exhibition, that of the San Fernando students. One of his works, entitled "La pareja" ("The Couple"), was selected to illustrate the critical review by Manuel Abril for the magazine "Blanco y Negro". Three years later Zabaleta made his first trip to Paris, where he studied the works of the masters of contemporary painting. In 1937 he was appointed delegate of the National Artistic Treasury, and also around this time he began a series of drawings on the Civil War. At the end of the war he was denounced and briefly spent time in the Higuera de Calatrava concentration camp and in Jaén prison, where his two albums of drawings made during the war were confiscated. Finally freed, in 1940 he settled in Madrid, where he attended the gatherings at the Café Gijón and drew and painted at the Círculo de Bellas Artes. Two years later he visited Aurelio Biosca, director of the Madrid gallery Biosca, with a letter of introduction from the sculptor Manolo Hugué. It was there that he held his first solo exhibition that same year, after being rejected from the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. However, the following year he took part in the First Salón de los Once and became a member of Eugenio d'Ors's Academia Breve de Crítica de Arte, to which Biosca also belonged. Zabaleta took part in most of his Salones de los Once and anthological exhibitions. In 1945 Zabaleta took part in the group exhibition "Floreros y bodegones" held at the National Museum of Modern Art, while he continued to exhibit individually and collectively in galleries in the capital. In 1947 he held his first personal exhibition in Barcelona, at the Argos gallery, and his first monograph was published. Two years later he travelled again to Paris, coming into contact with Picasso, Óscar Domínguez, M. Ángeles Ortiz and others. The year of his definitive consecration was 1951, when he held a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid. In 1955 he won the UNESCO Prize at the Hispano-American Biennial in Barcelona. That same year he took part in the Mediterranean Biennial held in Alexandria, and held a solo exhibition in Bilbao. During his last years Zabaleta became a fully recognised artist, invited to the most important exhibitions and salons both in Spain and in foreign cities of the importance of Paris.

Measurements: 70 x 90 cm; 81,5 x 102 cm (frame). In this work the artist presents us with a landscape conceived with a sober chromatism, based on the interrelation of the greens with the pinkish earths, the passages being in charge of the ochres and soft violet tones, which in turn contrast without stridency. The technique is very direct, incorporating the colour on wet in the primary stain and in semi-wet afterwards. The work of realistic connotations is close to the postulates of the Vallecas School, showing a special interest in the telluric. It is worth mentioning that the work goes beyond the purely pictorial, awakening a certain nostalgia or emotion linked to the artist's biography, who portrays the Zújar bridge, this being one of the places he crossed when he finished his mission in the civil war. Born into a well-to-do family, Rafael Zabaleta showed a love of painting from an early age, and after completing his secondary school studies he moved to Madrid and enrolled at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1925.

As described by María Guzmán Pérez: "It presents, on a rustic table, a series of anthropomorphic ceramics, serving as a background a chain of hills, in which the construction of inhabited caves can be seen and ends in a clear sky , minimized by the geological representation. The composition is based on the principles that govern the axial symmetry. The schematic drawing, especially in the first term, since the one that corresponds to the mountains is much more realistic and mattious, as is usual in this painting. Work in which decorative and chromatic susres stand out, whose exaltation makes us link it with the fauvist, using a very free technique."

      Est: €6,000 - €7,000

      JOSÉ MARÍA MIJARES (Havana, Cuba, 1921 - Miami, USA, 2004). "Untitled", 1954. Mixed media on panel. Attached is a certificate issued by María Cabrera Mijares, the artist's widow. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measurements: 95.5 x 35.5 cm; 99 x 39.5 cm (frame). The work reflects an aesthetic language in which various avant-garde movements and the translation of the history of art are captured. From a new perspective in which the aesthetic transgression at the hands of José María Mijares means the creation of an image with its own language and personality. Through the use of colour, the work offers the spectator a new vitalist aesthetic that merges with a technique close to geometric abstraction that extends over the whole piece in an apparently random way. However, compositionally the artist has managed to create a completely harmonious image where the mastery of colour and technique achieve an expressive, vitalist and dynamic image that captures and creates a dialogue with the spectator. Mijares's artistic production oscillated between a more figurative current and an abstract one in which he developed concepts typical of kineticism and neoplasticism. However, these compositions acquired the idiosyncrasy of the artist, who endowed them with exceptional colour. Mijares studied at the San Alejandro National School of Fine Arts in Havana, where he taught. He was a member of the group Diez Pintores Concretos. Between 1968 and 1973 he was a member of the Grupo Gala in Miami, where he settled at the age of 47. He edited the magazine Alacrán Azul in Miami. He held his first exhibition at the Liceo in Havana (1947). In the 1980s he exhibited in Coral Gables, Florida, where he reiterated his presence. In 1994 the Cuban Museum of Art and Culture in Miami dedicated a retrospective to him. The Alfredo Martínez Gallery in Coral Gables also organised an ontological exhibition in 1996. As for group exhibitions, he participated in the Venice Biennale in 1952. He is represented at the Cintas Foundation in New York, the Lowe Art Museum, Florida, the Museum of Modern Art of Latin America in Washington, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Mijares' well-deserved recognition came above all for his ability to harmonise his universal vocation with the search for a native Cuban language. In this composition, he starts from a colourist post-Cubism through which he practically delves into abstraction, but without losing the referential thread. A preened female figure is still recognisable, as in his ""habaneras"", but she has been stripped of her personal features, her body being transformed into a set of gears that animate a beautiful and elegant automaton."
