          LUIS FEITO (Madrid, 1929-2021). "Composition. Lithography. Exemplary 42/99. Signed and justified in pencil. Measurements: 76 x 57 cm; 93 x 73 cm (frame). Luís Feito, born and formed in Madrid, was one of the founding members of the group El Paso. In 1954 he held his first individual exhibition, with non-figurative works, at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From that moment on Feito exhibited regularly in the most important cities of the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo and Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he left teaching and went to Paris on a scholarship to study the current avant-garde movements. During this period he was influenced by automatism and matter painting. In 1962 he became a founding member of the El Paso group, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works are inscribed within figurative painting, to then go through a phase in which he experiments with cubism, and finally fully enter into abstraction. At the beginning he only used black, ochre and white colors, but when he discovered the potential of light, he began to use more vivid colors and smooth planes. He evolved to use red as a counterpoint in his compositions (since 1962) and, in general, more intense colors. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito shows a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle predominating in his compositions as a geometric form. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large bands of black. Most of his works are untitled, so they are usually recognized by a number assigned to them. Among his awards is his appointment as Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1985. In 1998 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Madrid, and was appointed Full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. In 2000 he was awarded the Prize of the Spanish Association of Art Critics at the Estampa Salon, in 2002 the AECA Grand Prize for the best international artist at ARCO, in 2003 the prize for the most relevant artist at the Osaka Art Fair (Japan), in 2004 the Prize for the Culture of Plastic Arts of the Community of Madrid, in 2005 the Francisco Tomás Prieto Prize of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, and in 2008 the Jorge Alió Foundation Prize and the Grand Prize for Spanish Contemporary Art CESMAI.

          LUIS FEITO (1929 Madrid 2021) Untitled. 1962. Gouache on paper. Signed lower left: Feito. 53.5 × 74.5 cm. Provenance: - Galerie Felix Handschin, Basel (with the label on the reverse). - Galerie Rämi, Zurich. - Swiss collection, acquired from the above gallery by the present owner ca. 1990. Our thanks to Antonio Cátedra Hernández of the Estate administration of Luis Feito for the confirmation of authenticity of the work, Madrid,18.4.2024. "I started paying attention to paintings when I was a teenager. Art looked to me something so difficult, so impossible and so wonderful at the same time." Luis Feito In 1953, the painter, graphic artist and sculptor Luis Feito travelled to Paris on a scholarship, where he met the leading exponents of Art Informel. He turned to the technique of spontaneous creation and increasingly experimented with materials such as sand and earth. Although Feito’s life centred on Paris for almost a quarter of a century from 1955, he remained in close contact with Spanish avant-garde artists such as Antonio Saura and Manuel Rivera. In 1957, he co-founded the artists' group "El Paso", which made a decisive contribution to the development of the Spanish art scene. In the early 1960s, Feito's style was characterised by a muted colour palette of black, grey, white and ochre. As in this work, which shows an abstract composition, from 1961 Feito began to use more dramatic colours, in particular a strong red. From 1963 onwards, he worked towards an ever-greater reduction of form, minimising the use of materials and integrating circular elements into his artworks, which reflected his interest in Japanese culture. The continuous exploration of the relationships between surface textures, light, colour and form lends his works a mystical quality. * The full tax is charged on this item marked * in the auction catalogue, i.e. VAT is charged on the sum of the bid price plus the surcharge for those items.

Gouache auf Papier. Unten links signiert: Feito. 53,5 × 74,5 cm. Provenienz: - Galerie Felix Handschin, Basel (verso mit dem Etikett). - Galerie Rämi, Zürich. - Schweizer Sammlung, bei obiger Galerie vom heutigen Besitzer um 1990 erworben. Wir danken dem Nachlassverwalter Antonio Cátedra Hernández für die Bestätigung der Authentizität des Werks, Madrid,18.4.2024. "I started paying attention to paintings when I was a teenager. Art looked to me something so difficult, so impossible and so wonderful at the same time." Luis Feito 1953 reist der Maler, Grafiker und Bildhauer Luis Feito mit einem Stipendium nach Paris, wo er führende Vertreter des Informel trifft. Er wendet sich der Technik des spontanen Schaffens zu und experimentiert verstärkt mit Materialien wie Sand und Erde. Obwohl Feito ab 1955 für nahezu ein Vierteljahrhundert seinen Lebensmittelpunkt in Paris hat, hält er engen Kontakt zu spanischen Avantgarde-Künstlern wie Antonio Saura oder Manuel Rivera. 1957 wird er Mitbegründer der Künstlergruppe "El Paso", die einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Entwicklung der spanischen Kunstszene leistet. In den frühen 1960er Jahren zeichnet sich Feitos Stil durch eine gedämpfte Farbpalette mit Schwarz, Grau, Weiss und Ocker aus. Wie in diesem Werk, das eine abstrakte Komposition zeigt, beginnt der Maler ab 1961 vermehrt dramatische Farben einzusetzen, insbesondere ein kräftiges Rot. Ab 1963 strebt der Spanier eine zunehmende formale Reduktion an, minimiert den Materialeinsatz und integriert kreisförmige Elemente in seine Kunstwerke, was sein Interesse an der japanischen Kultur spiegelt. Die kontinuierliche Erkundung der Beziehungen zwischen Oberflächentexturen, Licht, Farbe und Form verleiht seinen Werken eine mystische Qualität.

Born and educated in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first individual exhibition, with work of a non-figurative tendency, at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From this moment Feito will exhibit regularly in the most important cities in the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo or Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he abandoned teaching and went to Paris with a scholarship, in order to study current avant-garde movements. In this period he received the influences of automatism and material painting. In 1962 he joined as a founding member of the group El Paso, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works were part of figurative painting, and then he went through a phase in which he experimented with cubism, and finally delved fully into abstraction. At first he only used black, ocher and white colors, but upon discovering the potential of light he began to use more vivid colors and smooth planes. He evolved to use red as a counterpoint in his compositions (since 1962) and, in general, more intense colors. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito shows a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle as a geometric shape predominating in his compositions. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large black bands. Most of his works lack titles, so they are usually recognized by the numbering assigned to them. Among his awards stands out his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1985. In 1998 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Madrid, and was named Full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. of San Fernando.

          LUIS FEITO (Madrid, 1929-2021). "Cold Scratch." Silkscreen on canvas intervented, copy 48/75. Signed and justified by hand. Measurements: 99 x 88 cm. Born and educated in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first individual exhibition, with work of a non-figurative tendency, at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From this moment Feito will exhibit regularly in the most important cities in the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo or Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he abandoned teaching and went to Paris with a scholarship, in order to study current avant-garde movements. In this period he received the influences of automatism and material painting. In 1962 he joined as a founding member of the group El Paso, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works were part of figurative painting, and then he went through a phase in which he experimented with cubism, and finally delved fully into abstraction. At first he only used black, ocher and white colors, but upon discovering the potential of light he began to use more vivid colors and smooth planes. He evolved to use red as a counterpoint in his compositions (since 1962) and, in general, more intense colors. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito shows a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle as a geometric shape predominating in his compositions. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large black bands. Most of his works lack titles, so they are usually recognized by the numbering assigned to them. Among his awards stands out his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1985. In 1998 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Madrid, and was named Full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. of San Fernando. In 2000 he was awarded the Prize of the Spanish Association of Art Critics at the Estampa salon, in 2002 the AECA Grand Prize for the best international artist at ARCO, in 2003 the prize for the most relevant artist at the Osaka Art Fair (Japan), in 2004 the Prize for the Culture of the Plastic Arts of the Community of Madrid, in 2005 the Francisco Tomás Prieto Prize of the National Mint and Stamp Factory, and in 2008 the Jorge Alió Foundation Prize and the Grand Prize of Spanish Contemporary Art CESMAI. Luis Feito is represented in the most prominent museums around the world, among which we will point out the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the Guggenheim, the MoMA and the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, the Museums of Modern Art in Tokyo, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Montreal, Lissone in Italy etc.

In 1985 Feito was named Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France, a recognition that reaffirmed his career at an international level. However, the eighties was not a period of stagnation in his painting, but quite the opposite, as this work exemplifies. He left Paris and moved to New York and Montreal, leaving behind the European aesthetic tradition and embarking on a new path. During this period he introduced new concepts such as the use of gilding and the dialogue between the frame and the canvas, which finally led to the exercise of geometry from a reflective perspective far removed from his previous gesturalism. Born and trained in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first solo exhibition of non-figurative works at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From then on Feito exhibited regularly in the most important cities in the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo and Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he left teaching and went to Paris on a scholarship to study the avant-garde movements in force. During this period he was influenced by automatism and matter painting. In 1962 he became a founding member of the El Paso group, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works were figurative painting, followed by a phase in which he experimented with cubism and finally moved fully into abstraction. At first he only used black, ochre and white colours, but when he discovered the potential of light he began to use more vivid colours and smooth planes. He evolved until he used red (from 1962) and, in general, more intense colours as a counterpoint in his compositions. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito showed a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle predominating in his compositions as a geometric form.

          LUIS FEITO (Madrid, 1929-2021). "Composición 812", 1970. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Size: 130 x 162 cm. This work is the result of the artist's experimentation with texture, volume and the material reaction of the manipulation of pigment. The piece is conceived by Feíto in a theatrical way based on a play of textures around a central nucleus. The circle, from which a painting emerges that is defined by a material balance. This resource, completely conceived and provoked by Feito, was used by the artist on numerous occasions during the 1970s, as can be seen in other works by the artist with craquelure, such as Untitled from 1971, Panting 918 painted in 1972 or Bas from 1974. Another of the singular characteristics of this period is the finish of the circle, whose thickness in texture increases on the outer perimeter, in such a way that the inner zone seems to have been compressed in such a way that the pigment overflows at the limits, making the circle the epicentre and protagonist of the scene, as it transports the two-dimensionality of the work towards the three-dimensional, and flows through the material that expands its limits in an energetic and expressive way. The work, in which two broad planes of colour, yellow and black, compete in expressiveness and intensity, ends by suggesting to the viewer an organic volume, dominated by red. This form, located in the lower part of the composition, stands out for its gestural character, achieved in turn by the impasto of the brushstroke and the mixture of oil with sand. Thus demonstrating that this is a work that heralds the beginning of a new stage, in which Feito began to reduce all the elements of the composition to the essential, without paying attention to anything that could be understood as superfluous, although it retains the materiality of previous periods. Born and trained in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first solo exhibition of non-figurative works at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From then on Feito exhibited regularly in the most important cities in the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo and Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he left teaching and went to Paris on a scholarship to study the avant-garde movements in force. During this period he was influenced by automatism and matter painting. In 1962 he became a founding member of the El Paso group, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works were figurative painting, followed by a phase in which he experimented with cubism and finally moved fully into abstraction. At first he only used black, ochre and white colours, but when he discovered the potential of light he began to use more vivid colours and smooth planes.

In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito showed a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle predominating in his compositions as a geometric form. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large bands of black. Most of his works are untitled and can therefore be recognised by a number assigned to them.

          LUIS FEITO (Madrid, 1929-2021). "Cold Scratch." Silkscreen on canvas, copy 48/75. Signed and justified by hand. Measurements: 99 x 88 cm. Born and educated in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first individual exhibition, with work of a non-figurative tendency, at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From this moment Feito will exhibit regularly in the most important cities in the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo or Rome. Appointed professor at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in 1954, two years later he abandoned teaching and went to Paris with a scholarship, in order to study current avant-garde movements. In this period he received the influences of automatism and material painting. In 1962 he joined as a founding member of the group El Paso, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works were part of figurative painting, and then he went through a phase in which he experimented with cubism, and finally delved fully into abstraction. At first he only used black, ocher and white colors, but upon discovering the potential of light he began to use more vivid colors and smooth planes. He evolved to use red as a counterpoint in his compositions (since 1962) and, in general, more intense colors. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito shows a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle as a geometric shape predominating in his compositions. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large black bands. Most of his works lack titles, so they are usually recognized by the numbering assigned to them. Among his awards stands out his appointment as an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1985. In 1998 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Madrid, and was named Full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. of San Fernando. In 2000 he was awarded the Prize of the Spanish Association of Art Critics at the Estampa salon, in 2002 the AECA Grand Prize for the best international artist at ARCO, in 2003 the prize for the most relevant artist at the Osaka Art Fair (Japan), in 2004 the Prize for the Culture of the Plastic Arts of the Community of Madrid, in 2005 the Francisco Tomás Prieto Prize of the National Mint and Stamp Factory, and in 2008 the Jorge Alió Foundation Prize and the Grand Prize of Spanish Contemporary Art CESMAI. Luis Feito is represented in the most prominent museums around the world, among which we will point out the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, the Guggenheim, the MoMA and the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York, the Museums of Modern Art in Tokyo, Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Montreal, Lissone in Italy etc.
