About the Item
Work on canvas
Dimensions with frame141.5 x 82 x 3.5 cm
This impressive work of art presents an expressive and captivating portrait, where the artist's rich details and bold techniques unfold powerfully. The painting depicts an elderly character, marked by time, with deeply etched features that tell of a lifetime of experience. His piercing eyes seem to look beyond the visible, adding a mystical dimension to the work. The cat perched on his shoulder adds a subtle complicity between human and animal. The feline's gaze, with its large and luminous eyes, seems to reverberate the intensity of the man's gaze. Her fur is rendered with dynamic contours and a masterful use of line that lends an almost surreal movement to the scene. The color scheme is dominated by a dark and earthy palette, enhanced by cleverly placed touches of light, which accentuate the expressiveness of the faces. The technique used reveals a notable expressionist influence, where the distortion of shapes and the exaggeration of features emphasize raw emotions. In this work, the artist manages to capture the human soul and the subtle interconnection with the animal world. The blend of realism and abstraction makes this painting not only unique but also deeply touching, evoking a reflection on time, solitude and the relationship between man and nature.

Torero and Bull bullfighter bullfighting oil painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Torero and Bull
Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986)
Technique: Oil on canvas mounted on board
Dimensions: 18.9 x 15 inches
Framing: Unframed
Art Movement: Costumbrismo, Figurative Expressionism

DESCRIPTION
The painting Torero and Bull depicts a classic bullfighting scene, where a matador, elegantly dressed in a golden and violet traje de luces, performs a pass with the cape while the bull, wounded with banderillas, bows toward the ground.
