About the Item

LUIS FEITO LÓPEZ Spanish, 1929 ABSTRACTO 1956 signed and dated "FEITO, 1956" (on the reverse) oil on canvas 17-3/4 X 25-3/4 inches (45 X 65 cm.) framed: 24 X 32 (60,5 X 81 cm.) PROVENANCE Sotheby´s Olympia, London Sale date : 26th June 2002 This work of 1956 entitled "ABSTRACTO", within the parameters of automatism with white and ocher colored math surfaces, made with a mixture of oil and sand. In this work, the graphics had already disappeared from Feito's painting, replaced very much in the spirit of the time with an interest focused on the subject. Elements then arise that have to play a very significant role in their evolution, such as circular shapes. Progressively matter begins to focus on nuclei. In 1950 Luis Feito entered the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando de Madrid, this being a brief figurative period, followed by cubist experimentation. Four years later he made his first individual exhibition with non-figurative trend work, in the Buchholz Gallery, Madrid. He also exhibits at the Santa Fe Gallery (Madrid) .1 From this moment Feito regularly exhibits in the most important cities in the world, such as Madrid, Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo, Rome, etc. After completing his studies he settled in Paris in 1956, with a scholarship that allows him to study avant-garde painting, which does not prevent him from maintaining his contacts with the group of painters who would later form in the El Paso group. Receive influences from automatism and material painting. In 1957, the formation of the El Paso group took place, of which he was one of the founders, along with the painters Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares and Rafael Canogar, and the writers Manuel Conde and José Ayllón. Subsequently they were joined by painters Manuel Rivera, Manuel Viola and sculptor Martín Chirino. Among the group's achievements, the study and practice in the Spanish avant-garde art of informalism or abstract expressionism stand out. Feito's painting at this time is influenced by automatism, with white, black and ocher material surfaces, made with a mixture of oil and sand. From 1962 he introduced the color red with counterpoint in his paintings and a year later his work tends towards a growing formal and material simplification, with predominantly circular motifs. In 1970 the fullness of color is imposed and since 1975 there is a tendency towards geometrization, which will culminate at the end of the decade in its refined stage of white squares. In 1981, after leaving Paris, he moved to Montreal for a period of two years. Later, in 1983 he moved to New York, where he lived and worked until the early nineties. He obtains numerous awards, such as the distinction of Official of Arts and Letters of France 1985, Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters of France 1993, the Gold Medal of Fine Arts 1998 or his appointment as a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando (Madrid), among others.
