José Luis Rey Vila
Girl - Original Pencil Drawing by J.L. Rey Vila - 1959

1959

About the Item

Girl is an original artwork realized by José Luis Rey Vila in 1959. Pencil drawing on paper. Hand-signed and dated by José Luis Rey Vila on the back. Good conditions, except for some folds on the sheet, and some foxings on the bottom left. Very beautiful portrait of a female young figure from profile realized by the Spanish artist José Luis Rey Vila. The volume of the figure and the composition is refined with a great technique by the artist. Very fresh artwork representing a horse with a horseman, the strokes are very rapid and shows a great quality of the artist. José Luis Rey Vila (Cadice, 1900 – Paris, 1983) was a Spanish artist from Cadice. He studied at the School of Fine Arts of Cadice and of Barcelona. In 1921, he returned from North Africa with an album of drawings against politics. In Barcelona, he worked as illustrator and cartoonist for Ford and as illustrator for several art magazines. In 1936, he participated as an artist in the Social Revolution. He realized a watercolor album “Estampas de la revoluciòn española” for the international propaganda. Every drawing is accompanied by a comment in three different languages (Spanish, English, and French). This album was curated by CNT-FAI and became – before Picasso's Guernica – the most famous artwork about the Spanish Revolution. He adopted the name of SIM to protect his family in Siviglia. His artistic style is characterized by strong and rigid oulines. In 1937, he moved to Paris (for the International Exposition). He opened his atelier in Buttes-Chaumont. He often travelled around Europe, and exhibited his works in Paris and La Havana. He has never gone back to Spain.
