Jorge Castillo Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

Spanish, 1933-1985

Jorge Castillo, painter and sculptor, was born on June 16, 1933, in Pontevedra. Only one year after his birth his family emigrated to Argentina for political reasons. Castillo spent his childhood and youth in Buenos Aires. He tried to migrate to Paris, but due to a lack of economic resources, he was established in Spain. He soon came into contact with the art critic José María Moreno Galván, who admired his work and introduced him to the Madrid artistic circles. In 1958, he started selling his drawings at the gallery in Biosca and the painter Antonio Saura bought several of them. The following year, he exhibited his works on paper and watercolors at the Altamira Fine Art gallery in Madrid. In 1960, he was selected for the São Paulo Art Biennial in Brazil. Thereafter, he exhibited his work internationally in galleries and museums in New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Paris, Lisbon, Turin, Hanover, Dusseldorf and Geneva. He has participated in the Venice Biennale in 1964 and 1976 and 1970, performed a solo exhibition at the Nationalgalerie Berlin, the first major exhibition in a museum. In 1964, Castillo won the International Drawing Prize in Darmstadt, Germany and 1975, Darmstadt Prize for Painting. Works of Jorge Castillo are at the Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne, the Museu Fundación Juan March, the National Galleries in Edinburgh and Berlin, the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, the Kunsthalle Bremen, the Albertina Museum Vienna, the National Library of Spain and the Guggenheim in New York. Since the early 1980s, Castillo has lived in New York, where he was commissioned to create public sculptures in La Coruña, Messina and Barcelona.

Modern Figurative Surrealist Watercolor Painting, Drawing 'Prince of Innocence'
By Gary Hansmann
Located in Surfside, FL
Angelic boy with a devil figure. Gary Hansmann (1947-2008) was active/lived in California. He is known for abstract, Surrealism figure painting. Gary William Hansmann was born Dec. 4, 1940, in San Diego to Ethel May Williams and Lester Hughes Hansmann. He grew up in Encinitas and served in the Army in the early 1960s. Gary Hansmann, San Diego artist, teacher and gallery owner, was known for his Surrealist drawings and graphics. He spent time working in Paris and exhibiting his art throughout Europe, but San Diego was home until he moved to Washington state. His life partner was fellow artist, Jill Hosmer. Mr. Hansmann, a respected printmaker and prolific artist, created thousands of drawings, prints and paintings as well as hundreds of poems. His interest in bullfighting led to a book of poetry and illustrations on the subject, “La Corrida, The Run”, a collection of poetry & artwork written as he was preparing for his first bullfight. Prologue written by famous Mexican Matador Antonio Lomelin. The book is written in English and translated into Spanish on opposing pages and was published in 1983. Mr. Hansmann taught intaglio and monotype at the Academy of Fine Arts in San Diego from 1977 to 1980 and at the San Diego Museum of Art in 1980. He also gave lectures and demonstrations throughout the art community, including at the San Diego Art Guild in Del Mar and Artist Equity in San Diego. Although he attended Palomar College in San Marcos and studied lithography at the San Diego Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Hansmann was mostly self-taught and self-educated. Mr. Hansmann had shows in several art-world capitals, including Paris; Lisbon, Portugal; Cologne, Germany; Brussels, Belgium; and New York. he had one-person exhibits at the Loft Gallery in Clarkston, the Lewis-Clark State College Center of Arts & History, the Carnegie Art Center in Walla Walla and the Valley Art Center in Clarkston. During his long, distinguished career as an artist he had numerous one-person exhibits all over the world and the United States. His group shows are too numerous to mention, but his one-person exhibits were in Koln, Germany; Bruxelles, Belgium; Paris, France; Viana do Castelo, Portugal; Lisbon, Portugal; Tecate, Mexico; and British Columbia, Canada; and many states at home.
