About the Item

Title: Spanish Gypsies Artist: José Lamuño García Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 x 73 cm (23.6 x 28.7 in) Support: Unframed canvas on original stretcher Signature: Signed lower right: J. Lamuño Inscription on reverse: José Lamuño – GITANOS españoles Provenance: Canvas supplied by Vicente Riera, Barcelona Date: 1950s–70s (estimated) DESCRIPTION A costumbrista work of great chromatic harmony and compositional richness, portraying a scene from the everyday life of a Spanish Roma (Gypsy) community. The group is depicted in a calm, collaborative mood: women seated and nursing children, men in conversation, groups of children, a dog, a horse, and a wooden cart suggesting itinerancy. The scene unfolds in an arid, open landscape where earthy tones and blues generate a serene, melancholic atmosphere reminiscent of the artist’s so-called "blue period." The brushwork is expressive yet restrained, with defined volumes and visible strokes. The coral arrangement of the figures stands out, all treated with empathy and naturalness, underscoring José Lamuño’s humanistic gaze toward his subjects. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY José Lamuño García (1912 – c. 1984) was a painter from Asturias who trained at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid. In his youth, he exhibited at the Círculo de Bellas Artes. After a stay in France in the 1940s (Perpignan), he settled in Barcelona, where he continued to develop his artistic career. In 1951, he participated in the Madrid Biennial Exhibition with Gypsy Motherhood, a work that reflected his enduring interest in representing popular and marginalized communities with social sensitivity. His style evolved from academic realism to a post-impressionist visual language, incorporating influences from Cézanne and passages of light and color akin to the modern Catalan school. His works have been auctioned at houses such as Ansorena and Subastas Segre. SIMILAR ARTISTS Isidre Nonell – for his compassionate view of marginality and use of somber tones. Joaquim Mir – for his free brushstroke and atmospheric treatment of landscape. José Mongrell – for his depictions of popular types in costumbrista scenes. Ángel Andrade – for his gentle naturalism and human focus. Julio Moisés – for his socially themed group scenes.
