About the Item

The Red Cable, 1976 José Luis Tolosa (Bilbao, 1934) Oil on canvas Height: 73 cm Width: 92 cm Original oil on canvas by Basque artist José Luis Tolosa, titled The Red Cable (1976). This work belongs to a pivotal period in Tolosa’s artistic development, characterized by his precise geometric construction, vivid color palette, and a strong sense of spatial rhythm. The composition depicts a maritime-inspired scene where abstracted figures and color planes coexist in perfect tension and harmony, united by the striking red line that gives the piece its name. Tolosa trained in Paris under the guidance of renowned painter and educator Henri Goetz, earning a Doctorate in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country and a Maîtrise in Visual Arts from the University of Paris. He later became Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Bilbao, and served as a member of the Board of the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris (ENSBA). His body of work reflects a continuous process of artistic inquiry, merging geometry, color, and conceptual rigor into a distinctive and deeply analytical visual language. Notably, another version of this painting, in a different color scheme, is published in the Diccionario de Pintores y Escultores Españoles del Siglo XX, further enhancing the importance and provenance of this work. A remarkable and historically significant piece within contemporary Spanish painting — perfect for discerning collectors who appreciate works with both intellectual depth and visual balance.

By William Finlayson Jr.

Born in Tallahasee Fl, William started his artistic career as a color consultant for his family's Design and Painting company that took on constant projects of custom painted interiors and decorating.

William feels that his lack of formal training in Fine Art has afforded him a freedom to paint what he envisions and feels, rather than conform to specific style or genre that he feels is limiting Inspired by hard edge abstraction and color field art such as Kenneth Noland, Joseph Albers, Gene Davis, Frank Stella, Anne Truitt, Imi knobel...
