JUAN BARJOLA (Torre de Miguel Sesmero, Badajoz, 1919 - Madrid, 2004). "Bullfighting: fall and catch". Engraving, copy 49/99. Signed and justified by hand. Measurements: 73 x 105 cm; 87 x 118 cm (frame). Barjola endows his Tauromaquias with an infamous sense, transmitting the tragedy of the art of bullfighting through a language inherited from Goya and Picasso, who already captured in their engravings their particular vision of this theme. According to Fernando Castro, an expert on the figure of Barjola, "The infamous visions of Barjola, gifted with an incredible capacity to capture existential nausea, have an obsessive rhythm, returning to inhospitable places, be it the bullring where the commotion occurs after the bullfight or the brothel where the bodies deliver, more than anything else, disgust". Barjola, who knew how to synchronize the currents of cubism and expressionism, develops in his bullfights the dislocation of the figures. Castro affirms "Barjola turns his tauromaquias into strange swirling compositions, paying enormous attention to the third of rods. In these catastrophic tauromaquias, the horse is almost always cast in the role of the propitiatory victim, swiftly dragged to death by an action to which it is oblivious, an action in which the horse is innocent. That is why there is always a supreme gesture of pain, of protest, of supplication". Juan Barjola studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Badajoz and at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid. He made his individual debut in 1957, at the Abril Gallery in Madrid, and since then he has held individual exhibitions all over Spain. In 1960, with a grant from the Juan March Foundation, he travels to Paris and Belgium. Three years later the critics distinguished him with the Eugenio d'Ors Medal, and he exhibited at the Dirección General de Bellas Artes. He won the National Drawing Prize at the National Exhibition of 1968, and in 1985 he was awarded the National Plastic Arts Prize. In 2006, the IVAM of Valencia dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him. He is represented in the Museum that bears his name in Oviedo, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao and Asturias, the IVAM in Valencia, the Solidarity Museum in Chile, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Contemporary Art Museums of Vilafamés, Seville, Alicante, Toledo and Cáceres, among many others.

JUAN BARJOLA (Torre de Miguel Sesmero, Badajoz, 1919 - Madrid, 2004). "Landscape (marine)". Oil on canvas. With a label on the back from the Toisón gallery in Madrid. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 83 x 107 cm; 88 x 112 cm (frame). Belonging to the current of representational expressionism, Juan Barjola is one of the most outstanding Spanish painters of the second half of the 20th century. Even as a child he showed a love of drawing, which led his parents to guide him along the path of art. At the age of fifteen Barjola arrived in Badajoz to begin his training, and entered the city's School of Arts and Crafts. Fully committed to his incipient career, in 1943 he moved to Madrid, where he first studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Calle La Palma and later at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. At the same time, he furthered his training at the Prado Museum, where he copied Velázquez and interpreted Goya, Brueghel, El Greco and Bosch. During this period, which ended in 1950, Barjola produced a series of academic works of a naturalistic style, with themes taken from family life, suburban characters and other genre scenes. Towards 1950 he began a new post-cubist phase, the prevailing trend in Madrid at the time due to the influence that Daniel Vázquez Díaz exerted on an entire generation. During these years Barjola would develop faceted images, with a flat treatment and cold, bluish colours. At the same time, he began to develop a new, more constructive stage, marked by earthy colours. In 1957 Barjola made his solo debut at the Abril gallery in Madrid, and that same year he held two more solo exhibitions in Brussels, at the Theatre and Vallvora galleries. He then embarked on a brilliant exhibition career that took his work to Europe, Japan, the United States and Latin America. Around 1958 he began a short but intense period in which he experimented with an abstract language in which the pictorial material took centre stage. His work was now marked by thick, sumptuous impastos of sordid, dark colouring, which made up abstract, organic still lifes. This was the heyday of the material abstraction led by Tàpies from Barcelona. A year later, without the thick impasto disappearing, the organic stains began to be resolved into human embryos, the result being a return to figuration in line with the international trend initiated by Francis Bacon. Barjola thus became the main Spanish representative of the New Figuration. At the same time his work became increasingly recognised; in 1960 he received a grant from the Juan March Foundation which enabled him to travel to Paris and Belgium, and in 1963 he was awarded the Eugenio D'Ors Medal by the critics. That same year he exhibited at the Dirección General de Bellas Artes, and shortly afterwards he won the National Drawing Prize at the National Exhibition (1968). Towards 1964 his work underwent a new evolution, marked by the paintings of Velázquez, Goya and El Greco. This marked the beginning of the painter's Golden Age, with paintings transformed by the appearance of the human figure, three-dimensional space, natural light and the open air. The thick impasto disappeared and his language became more fluid, while his colours became brighter and more luminous. At the same time, Barjola created a series of works of brutal expressionism and great visual power, linked to the themes of violence and war. However, around 1972 his painting began to leave behind this conceptual weight and opened up to a more purely plastic experimentation, in which form, composition and colour became the protagonists. This change led, in the 1980s, to a painting marked by a decorative sense and a lighter, more optimistic lyricism.
