      MATEO INURRIA LAINOSA (Cordoba, 1867 - Madrid, 1924). "Lady". Figure in bronze. Signed on the base. Size: 96 x 18 x 23 cm. Mateo Inurria Lainosa was a Spanish sculptor. He was born in Cordoba, the city where he was educated and where he developed most of his activity as a sculptor, teacher, restorer and decorator. Until 1883 he attended courses at the Provincial School of Fine Arts, where he also received artistic training from notable artists of the last quarter of the 19th century: Lorenzo Coullaut Valera, Rafael García Guijo, and the Romero de Torres brothers. Between 1883 and 1885 he studied at the Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid. Due to his progress in academic learning, the Cordoba Provincial Council granted him a pension to continue his studies in Madrid until 1890, the year in which Inurria presented his work "Un náufrago" ("A Shipwrecked Man") at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, which was so realistic that some of the members of the jury considered it to have been painted from life. Between 1891 and 1901, Inurria lived in a provincial environment, not very open to critics and the public, and began to work as a restorer and teacher. His sculpture overcame the restrictions of academicism and tended towards a sober naturalism, simple in expression and lacking in anecdotal details, in which we can already see the tendency to idealise his models that was to permeate his mature work. Inurria considered himself a self-taught artist, going so far as to state: "I had no teacher, I taught myself". He worked on religious and commemorative sculpture, and throughout his career, in Cordoba and Madrid, he received numerous monumental commissions to pay homage to local and national celebrities, which were not always completed. During this period he also lived temporarily in Rome, where he coincided with other artists of his generation such as Rafael Romero de Torres, also from Cordoba, and the artist from Burgos, Marceliano Santa María. His vocation as a teacher was of great significance to him. He firmly believed that teaching could contribute to the improvement of the individual and society, economically, industrially and artistically. He became a professor of Figure Modelling and Drawing of the Ancient at the Municipal School of Arts and Crafts in Cordoba, and in 1901 he was appointed director of the Cordoba School of Industrial Arts, with powers to programme the studies of Silversmithing, Guadamecilería, Blacksmithing, Carpentry, Stonemasonry and Ceramics in schools-workshops. He produced some works along the lines of the social denunciation that triumphed at the end of the century, such as La mina de carbón ("The Coal Mine"), and designs and decorations with a modernist influence for the library of the Círculo de la Amistad, Liceo Artístico y Literario de Córdoba, where he joined in 1900. In 1905 the sculptor Rodin arrived in Spain accompanied by his close friend Ignacio Zuloaga. Inurria had the opportunity to meet him and to be his cicerone on his visit to Cordoba. From this time onwards, Inurria regularly took part in the juries of the sculpture section of the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts in Madrid. In 1911, Inurria was appointed professor of Modelling and Casting at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, initiating a new stage in which his dedication to sculpture became more intense. The fact that he lives in Madrid gives him greater contact with the cultural and artistic world, as well as greater recognition of his work. He concentrates more and more on his favourite theme: the female nude, as the materialisation of an aesthetic ideal in which formal perfection, idealised and sober naturalism, sensuality and eroticism merge. Examples of this are: "Ídolo eterno", "Deseo", "La parra" and "Forma", the last two of which are currently in the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. He won a Medal of Honour at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1920, and two years later he was admitted to the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
