About the Item

Creixams PICÓ, Pere (Barcelona, 1893-1965). Self - taught painter, Creixams began his career as a cabinetmaker and typographer. In 1918 he traveled to Paris and in contact with the artistic atmosphere of Montmartre, decided to devote himself to painting. In the French capital he participated in the School of Paris, and exhibited at the Salon des Independants (1922), the Fall (1925) and in the Tuileries. He also illustrated works of Rimbaud, Verlaine, Baudelaire, Cocteau and Max Jacob. Returns to Barcelona in 1927, and participated in the last exhibition of the Evolutionists. In 1936 he returns to establish his residence in Paris, but continued to exhibit regularly in Barcelona. Influenced by Nonell, his favorite subject was always the figure, as can be seen in the work presented here. The artist focuses all his attention on the figure of a harlequin, recognizable by the typical hat. The color, dark and cold range, affects the melancholy atmosphere redolent of the work. Creixams is currently represented in the MACBA, the Petit Palais in Geneva, the National Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and other European and American museums.

Bullfighting Scene oil on board painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene Artist: José María Tuser Vázquez (1919-1986) Technique: Oil on board Dimensions: 25.6 x 21.3 in (65 x 54 cm) Frameless Period: Second half of the 20th century Art Movement: Figurative Expressionism with Impressionist influences Condition: Good, with visible signs of aging on the surface DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK This painting captures a crucial moment in a bullfight, where the matador, dressed in a dazzling traje de luces (suit of lights), elegantly holds the red cape (muleta) while facing a wounded bull. The scene conveys tension and drama through energetic and loose brushwork, with strong contrasts of light and color that enhance its expressiveness. The abstract background, built with gestural brushstrokes in warm, earthy tones, reinforces the dynamism and immediacy of the moment. The thick texture of the paint and the vibrant colors in the matador's attire and cape are characteristic of Figurative Expressionism, giving the work a strong emotional impact. Tuser masterfully captures the essence of movement and the intensity of the bullfight through a painterly approach reminiscent of Impressionism, but with a greater emphasis on gesture and expressive color, making his work stand out for its raw energy and dramatic depth. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specialized in bullfighting themes, gaining recognition in the 20th-century art scene for his expressive depictions of the corrida (bullfight). He studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong mastery of color and composition. From 1947 onwards, his work focused almost entirely on bullfighting, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that capture the emotion and spectacle of the arena. He was a frequent collaborator with El Ruedo magazine, where his illustrations and covers solidified his reputation. Additionally, in the 1940s, he designed series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for the Artigas Publishing House. His work has been auctioned in several art houses and is highly valued among collectors of bullfighting paintings. His influence and legacy in tauromaquia (bullfighting art...

The composition conveys dynamism and tension, emphasizing the drama of the moment with loose and expressive brushstrokes.
