About the Item

Policeman is an original artwork realized by José Luis Rey Vila in the 1950s. Watercolor and tempera on paper. Unsigned. Very good conditions. Very beautiful portrait of a policeman in profile realized by the Spanish artist José Luis Rey Vila when he was in France. The pencil strokes are very fresh and smart and define the volumes of the figure. The technique is a combination of tempera and watercolor. 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.
