VALENTIN ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963) . "Young peasant girl and three genre scenes". Oil on canvas. Signed in the left area. Presents damages in the frame. Measurements: 100 x 84 cm; 116 x 102 cm (frame). Son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, also deaf and mute, before entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in 1894. There he was a disciple of Carlos de Haes, Muñoz Degrain, Ferrant and Moreno Carbonero, and at the same time he completed his solid training by visiting the Prado Museum. In 1898 the two Zubiaurre brothers embarked on a study trip that would take them to France, Italy and the Netherlands. On their return to Spain they obtained a scholarship from the Diputación de Vizcaya, in 1902, which allowed them to settle in Paris. There they attended classes at the Académie Julian, became acquainted with the modern trends that were then developing in the French capital and became interested in Impressionism. However, the Zubiaurre brothers were not permeable to its influence, mainly due to the weight of their academic training and their admiration for the Flemish and Italian primitives as well as for contemporary Spanish painters such as Dario de Regoyos and, especially, Ignacio Zuloaga. Valentín de Zubiaurre regularly sent his works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, being awarded on several occasions; in 1908 he obtained the second medal, and in 1917 he was awarded the first medal. He was also distinguished with awards from foreign institutions, and won prizes in outstanding international competitions held in the first decade of the 20th century, among them those of Munich, Buenos Aires, Brussels, San Francisco, San Diego and the University of Panama. From the 1920s until the Civil War, the Zubiaurre brothers experienced their period of greatest success and recognition, both in Spain and internationally. After the war Valentín de Zubiaurre resumed his career in Spain, and his recognition became official with his appointment as a full member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in 1945, culminating with the medal of honor awarded to him at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1957. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of Chicago, Buenos Aires, Paris, Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Pittsburg and San Diego, as well as in the main art galleries of the Basque Country, the Castagnino Museum in Argentina, the Reina Sofía National Art Center, the BBVA collection and the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, among others, both public and private.

VALENTIN ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963) . "Portrait in front of a Basque landscape". Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 79 x 62 cm; 104 x 86 cm (frame). An old woman rests her hands on a basket full of fruits, and behind her a small village dominates the slopes of a valley. In the background, a mountainous outline can be seen. This type of composition was common in Valentín Zubiaurre's painting, allowing him to ennoble both the inhabitants of rural areas and the Basque landscape. The intense chromatic contrast, with its twilight shifts, and the expressiveness of the old woman's weathered face are characteristic of this artist, who (together with his brother Ramón) was a renovator of Spanish regionalism.

VALENTIN ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963) . "Villagers of Ondarroa". Oil on canvas. Signed on the back. Provenance: private collection in Bilbao. Measurements: 100 x 100 cm; 118 x 118 cm (frame). Valentin Zubiarre's paintings usually feature elderly men and women, whose faces, weathered by life in the countryside or on the high seas, he endows with great solemnity. In this painting, the three characters adopt silent countenances that convey an ancient wisdom, rooted in their homeland. Behind them, the fishing village of Ondarroa is depicted in the manner of an architectural sketch, with a synthetic desire. The essentialist reduction of the houses contrasts with the naturalism of the faces. The woman and one of the men carry large baskets of juicy fruit. A contrasting palette complements the expressiveness of the line. It is a type of composition common in Zubiaurre's painting, which allowed him to ennoble the inhabitants of Basque villages, anchored in another time, and which in this painting reaches a notable quality. Valentín was (together with his brother Ramón) the great renovator of Spanish regionalism. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, who was also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894.

RAMÓN DE ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Garay, Vizcaya, 1882 - Madrid 1969). "Portrait of an old woman".1961. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measurements: 32 x 23 cm; 59 x 51 cm (frame). Ramón Zubiaurre ennobled the inhabitants of the rural areas depositing in it a great sensibility, of which this portrait of an old woman in the foreground leaves testimony, being drawn in the distance a twilight landscape wrapped in emerald coloured lights. Brother of Valentín de Zubiaurre, also a painter and also deaf and mute like him, he always maintained a close relationship with his brother, and in fact both began their careers with his sister Pilar, who was in charge of the sale of his paintings and the organization of numerous exhibitions, both in Spain and abroad, in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Germany and other countries. Between 1903 and 1912 he received a scholarship from the Diputación de Vizcaya, which allowed him to devote himself fully to painting. From the beginning he will be closely linked to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts held in Madrid, as well as to the cultural life of the Spanish capital. In fact, he studied at the Royal Academy of San Fernando, and in 1905 he finished his studies and moved to Paris to complete his training. He finally returned to Madrid, settling with his brother. In 1918 he was appointed a member of the Hispanic Society of America in New York, and in fact he remained in the United States between 1940 and 1951. He is currently represented in the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Chicago Museum, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Alava, the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastian and the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, among other collections.

VALENTIN ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963) . "Twilight". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Work exhibited at the Witcomb Salon in Buenos Aires, 1930. Referenced in the catalogue of the exhibition with n.84. Measurements: 91 x 91 cm; 112 x 112 cm (frame). This is a type of composition that Valentín Zubiaurre used repeatedly, and which here manages to express a genuine feeling: with the members of a family in the foreground (in this case, a grandmother and her grandchildren) and the Basque landscape opening up behind them, with fields, farmhouses and rocky outlines. In the self-absorbed faces, the contrast between the smoothness of the young faces and the aged skin of the old woman stands out. The ochre and sienna tones dominate the whole, lending the painting a melancholy patina. This work falls within the framework of the rise of regionalism in Spain in the second half of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century, with the development of an art with a Romantic, costumbrista and realist heritage, which focused on depicting subjects and characters that reflected a new sense of folklore. In this context, the painters sought to reflect the types and customs of their own land, which made it different and unique, thus vindicating their own roots and, above all, the traditions and ways of dressing and behaving that were threatened by the notable growth of urban areas and the imposition of new fashions brought in from outside. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, who was also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894.

This work falls within the framework of the rise of regionalism in Spain in the second half of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century, with the development of an art with a Romantic, costumbrista and realist heritage, which focused on depicting subjects and characters that reflected a new sense of folklore. In this context, the painters sought to reflect the types and customs of their own land, which made it different and unique, thus vindicating their own roots and, above all, the traditions and ways of dressing and behaving that were threatened by the notable growth of urban areas and the imposition of new fashions brought in from outside. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, who was also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894. There he was a pupil of Carlos de Haes, Muñoz Degrain, Ferrant and Moreno Carbonero, and at the same time completed his solid training by visiting the Prado Museum. In 1898 the two Zubiaurre brothers set out on a study trip that took them to France, Italy and the Netherlands. On their return to Spain they obtained a grant from the Diputación de Vizcaya in 1902, which enabled them to settle in Paris. There they attended classes at the Académie Julian, became acquainted with the modern trends then developing in the French capital and became interested in Impressionism. However, the Zubiaurre brothers were not receptive to its influence, owing mainly to the weight of their academic training and their admiration both for the Flemish and Italian primitives and for contemporary Spanish painters such as Darío de Regoyos and, especially, Ignacio Zuloaga. Valentín de Zubiaurre regularly sent his works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts and was awarded several prizes; in 1908 he won the second medal and in 1917 the first. He was also distinguished with prizes from foreign institutions, and won prizes in important international competitions held in the first decade of the 20th century, including those of Munich, Buenos Aires, Brussels, San Francisco, San Diego and the University of Panama. From the 1920s until the Civil War, the Zubiaurre brothers experienced their most successful and renowned period, both in Spain and internationally. After the war Valentín de Zubiaurre resumed his career in Spain, and his recognition became official with his appointment as a full member of the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1945, culminating in the medal of honour awarded to him at the 1957 National Exhibition of Fine Arts. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of Chicago, Buenos Aires, Paris, Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Pittsburg and San Diego, as well as in the main art galleries of the Basque Country, the Castagnino Museum in Argentina, the Reina Sofía National Art Centre, the BBVA collection and the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, among others, both public and private.

Est: €18,000 - €24,000
Oil on canvas Dedicated "To my friend Cassadó", signed, located "Madrid" and dated in the lower right corner. Portrait of Gaspar Cassadó i Moreu (Barcelona 1897 - Madrid 1966) composer and one of the most important cellists of his time. Cassadó grew up in a musical environment and soon stood out as a musician. In 1907, the Barcelona City Council granted him a scholarship that allowed him to move to Paris with his father and brother. There he began to study with Pau Casal until 1914, when the First World War broke out and he had to return to his native Barcelona. In the following years he toured several Spanish cities. Presumably, it was during a visit to Madrid that Valentín de Zubiaurre, whose family was also linked to music, painted this striking portrait, very much in keeping with the aesthetic taste of the time. Portrayed at 19 years of age, dressed in a suit and vest, on a landscape background in which a classical temple appears on the left side, this work stands out for the intensity of the composer's look and expression, captured precisely in his attitude and personality by Valentín de Zubiaurre, who uses a cold range of blues and violets that flood the work, which together with a certain hieratism in the figure, place it among the works with more symbolist influence of the artist. . 58,5 x 45 cm

Buenos Aires, 1920. Size: 60,5 x 47 cm; 86 x 73 cm (frame). The retrospective and nostalgic look, full of tenderness, towards the regional roots that Valentín de Zubiaurre expresses in his paintings is on this occasion enhanced by the baroque resource of the crystal ball. It should be remembered that the reflecting sphere was used in the 17th century to enhance the complexity of perspective and the play of gazes, but also to allude to the passage of time. Pieter Claesz used it in both senses in his still lifes. The ball held by the old woman portrayed by Zubiaurre contains on its convex surface the self-portrait of the painter in his studio, the same resource used by Claesz in "Still Life with a Glass Sphere" (a canvas now in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg), an image that the glass transforms into a spectral one, into pure memory, into indelible remembrance. This lends great expressive power to the painting as a whole. This work falls within the framework of the rise of regionalism in Spain in the second half of the 19th century and the first third of the 20th century, an art with a Romantic, costumbrista heritage and a realistic, meticulous style, which focused on depicting subjects, themes and characters reflecting a new sense of folklore. In this context, the painters sought to reflect the types and customs of their own land, which made it different and unique, thus vindicating the traditions and ways of dressing and behaving that were threatened by the notable growth of urban areas and the imposition of fashions brought in from outside.

An old woman holds on her lap a big pitcher, opening behind her a mountainous landscape. This is a frequent type of composition in Valentín Zubiaurre's painting, which allowed him to ennoble both the inhabitants of rural areas and the Basque landscape. The intense chromatic contrast, with its twilight shifts, and the expressiveness of the old woman's weathered face are characteristic of this artist, who (together with his brother Ramón) was a renovator of Spanish regionalism. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter.

VALENTÍN DE ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963). "Basque characters". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner.
Est: €18,000 - €20,000
VALENTÍN DE ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879 - 1963). "Basque characters". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Size: 70 x 60 cm; 90 x 80 cm (frame). We see in this painting a magnificent double portrait that shows the mastery and modernity of its author, a Valentín de Zubiaurre who knew how to represent the people of his time, especially Basques and Castilians. Here he shows us a young couple, two villagers with smooth complexions and expectant eyes who watch in amazement at what is happening before them. The male figure, wearing a txapela, rests his hands on a stick while she offers him a bowl of pears and other fruit. This is a type of folkloristic representation in which Valentín de Zubiaurre was particularly outstanding, extolling popular types and Basque corners that were about to disappear. His art fits into the framework of the rise of regionalism in fin-de-siècle Spain and the beginning of the 21st century. Realistic and meticulous, Zubiaurre developed his own style within this trend, which can be seen in the attenuated palette, the pre-eminence of the line and the expressiveness of the physiognomic features. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, as was his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. Of Basque origin although he settled in Madrid with his family, the young painter began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, who was also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894. There he was a disciple of Carlos de Haes, Muñoz Degrain, Ferrant and Moreno Carbonero, and at the same time completed his solid training by visiting the Prado Museum, where he made copies of the great masters. After their time in San Fernando, in 1898 the two Zubiaurre brothers set out on a study trip that took them to France, Italy and the Netherlands. On their return to Spain, they were awarded a grant by the Diputación de Vizcaya in 1902, which enabled them to settle in Paris. There they attended classes at the Académie Julian, became acquainted with the modern trends then developing in the French capital and became interested in Impressionism. However, the Zubiaurre brothers were not receptive to its influence, owing mainly to the weight of their academic training and their admiration both for the Flemish and Italian primitives and for contemporary Spanish painters such as Darío de Regoyos and, especially, Ignacio Zuloaga. Valentín de Zubiaurre regularly sent his works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts and was awarded several prizes; in 1908 he won the second medal and in 1917 the first. He was also distinguished with prizes from foreign institutions, and won prizes in important international competitions held in the first decade of the 20th century, including those of Munich, Buenos Aires, Brussels, San Francisco, San Diego and the University of Panama. From the 1920s until the Civil War, the Zubiaurre brothers experienced their period of greatest success and recognition, both in Spain and internationally. By then, both were clearly differentiated stylistically: Ramón was more colourist and Valentín more classicist, although without falling into academic rigidities. After the war, the elder brother remained in Madrid, while Ramón moved to America, where he remained until 1951. Valentín resumed his career in Spain, and his recognition became official with his appointment as a full member of the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1945, culminating in the medal of honour awarded to him at the 1957 National Exhibition of Fine Arts, six years before his death. Valentín de Zubiaurre cultivated genre painting, focusing mainly on Basque and Castilian themes, and also dealt with landscapes. His masterly, intellectual painting is dominated by a certain melancholy that distinguishes his language from that of his brother Ramón. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of Chicago, Buenos Aires, Paris, Luxembourg, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Pittsburg and San Diego, as well as in the main art galleries of the Basque Country, the Castagnino Museum in Argentina, the Reina Sofía National Art Centre, the BBVA collection and the Museum of Modern Art in Rome, among others, both public and private.

VALENTÍN DE ZUBIAURRE AGUIRREZÁBAL (Madrid, 1879-1963). "Northern Coast". Oil on panel. With informative labels on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 24,5 x 31 cm; 33 x 40 cm (frame). It is probable that this work represents the Guernica estuary, seen from Mundaca, as it was a place close to Garay, where the artist owned a property. In fact, this area of the Basque coast was depicted by Zubiaurre on several occasions, as several paintings in the collection of the Museo Carmen Thyssen in Malaga attest. A painstaking realist painter, Zubiaurre developed his own style within Basque painting, as can be seen in his palette of intense contrasts, the pre-eminence of the line and the expressiveness of the chromatic tonality. The son of the musical composer of the same name, Valentín Zubiaurre was born deaf and dumb, like his younger brother Ramón, also a painter. He began his training with the painter Daniel Perea, who was also deaf and mute, before entering the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1894.
