About the Item

Soldiers is an original artwork realized by the Spanish artist José Luis Rey Vila in the 1950s. Tempera and watercolor on paper. Hand-signed in pencil on the lower right. Glued on cardboard. Good conditions, except for some foxings and stains on the cardboard. Very beautiful artwork representing some soldiers on a car. The figures are from behind and the composition is very fresh; the artwork is realized with mixed media (tempera, watercolor and china ink on paper) and show the great ability of the artist to represent the humen figure in movement. 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.
