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
Theme: Bullfighting
Date of Creation: Second half of the 20th century
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. The composition conveys dynamism and tension, emphasizing the drama of the moment with loose and expressive brushstrokes.
The background is rendered in warm, diffused tones, contrasting with the deep black of the bull and the vivid hues of the cape. The thick brushwork and vibrant oil application enhance the sense of movement and emotion in the scene, a distinctive feature of Tuser Vázquez’s bullfighting paintings.
ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY
José María Tuser Vázquez (Barcelona, 1919 - 1986) was a Spanish painter specializing in bullfighting themes. He trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona, where he developed a strong foundation in drawing and painting. From 1947 onwards, he dedicated his artistic production to tauromaquia, creating posters, illustrations, and paintings that captured the intensity of the bullfighting spectacle.
He was a regular contributor to the magazine El Ruedo and designed a series of postcards featuring traditional Spanish costumes for Editorial Artigas in the 1940s. His work has been auctioned numerous times and is highly valued by collectors of bullfighting art...

John Bellany was an influential Scottish painter. Credited with pioneering a style of painting that melded the influences of Impressionism with Naive painting, Bellany’s work explored endemically Scottish symbolism and histories. "What he was doing in the mid-1960s in many ways changed the course of Scottish painting,” Keith Hartley, the senior curator of the Scottish National Gallery, has said of Bellany’s importance. “It was like a manifesto: I don't want to do paintings for Edinburgh drawing...

Daughters of Spain oil on canvas painting young woman
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: "Daughters of Spain"
Artist: Juan José Barreira Polo (1887-1957)
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 31.5 x 27.5 in (80 x 70 cm)
Framing: Unframed
Signature: Signed at the lower left corner as "J. Barreira"
Period: Approximately first half of the 20th century
Movement/Style: Realist Costumbrismo, Spanish Academicism
Description of the Artwork
"Daughters of Spain" is a remarkable example of Spanish Costumbrismo, where Juan José Barreira Polo masterfully captures the essence of national identity and tradition. The painting portrays two young Spanish girls in traditional attire, exuding warmth and natural grace.
The older girl, with a gentle smile, wears a richly embroidered blue shawl and has flowers adorning her hair, while delicately holding a copper jug filled with vibrant orange flowers. Beside her, the younger girl, with an innocent and joyful expression, holds a doll dressed in red with floral embellishments, evoking the charm of childhood and cultural heritage.
The well-balanced composition and softly blurred background enhance the presence of the figures. Barreira Polo employs a warm color palette and skillful lighting to create harmony, while his refined brushwork and attention to detail in facial expressions and textiles reflect his academic training. The artwork conveys a profound sense of cultural pride and nostalgia for Spain’s rich traditions.
Artist’s Biography
Juan José Barreira Polo (Valencia, March 31, 1887 – Valencia, January 30, 1957) was a Spanish painter specialized in portraits and costumbrista scenes. Son of the painter Vicente Barreira Meliá, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he obtained his degree as a drawing professor in 1933.
Throughout his career, he gained recognition for his representations of Spanish traditions and culture, receiving several awards at various exhibitions. In 1925, he won first prize in the Valencia City Council's poster competition. In addition to his pictorial work, he was an editorial board member of the magazine Semana Gráfica, contributing to the artistic and graphic culture of his time. His paintings, known for their exquisite detail and vibrant colors, are part of private collections worldwide and are admired for their ability to capture the spirit of Spanish heritage.
