- Minimalist dynamism -
The polished bronze forms appear radiant against the brown-colored iron background. The contrast between the dull iron and the reflective bronze also contributes to this effect. The reflections entering the rays make the bronze forms appear like moving, living structures. And indeed, they appear to be something that has grown organically. However, they do not form a continuous connection, but rather three separate elements, with the middle one seeming to float between the other two. This creates a space of tension that incorporates the brown background and is dynamic in itself. Lorenzo Frechilla Del Rey has created an abstract, minimalist relief sculpture that is also a dynamic image.
About the artist
Lorenzo Frechilla del Rey studied sculpture at the College of Arts and Crafts in Valladolid under José Luis Medina, Ángel Trapote, and Antonio Vaquero. In 1948, he founded the avant-garde artist group “Pascual Letreros” together with followers of Spanish-American constructivism after Joaquín Torres García, with whom he exhibited until 1954. From 1951, he lived in Madrid, where he was heavily involved in the Círculo de Bellas Artes, an important cultural institution with international appeal. In 1961, he and his wife, the sculptor Teresa Eguíbar, joined the international artist group “Este–Oeste” and traveled with them throughout Europe in the 1960s. In 1978, he took part in the Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium.
His artistic work is characterized by abstraction: while his early sculptures still feature figurative elements, they are already distinguished by independent, non-imitative forms. His abstract works are rhythmic and musical compositions of matter and emptiness. Frechilla del Rey created numerous sculptures for public spaces in Spain and Europe; his works are in major museums and also in the collection of the Spanish royal family. He received several awards for his work and was appointed a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Valladolid in 1988.
GERMAN VERSION
Lorenzo Frechilla Del Rey (1927 Valladolid - 1990 Madrid), Ohne Titel, um 1980. Bronzeelemente auf eine Eisenplatte montiert, 27 cm x 20 cm, unten links Ritzsignatur „Lorenzo Frechilla“, unten rechts als Exemplar Nr. 20/35 ausgewiesen.
- vereinzelte Kratzspuren, sonst in gutem Zustand
- Minimalistische Dynamik -
Vor dem braungefärbten Eisenfond treten die polierten Bronzeformen strahlend in Erscheinung. Dazu trägt auch der Kontrast zwischen dem stumpfen Eisen und der reflektierenden Bronze bei. Die in das Strahlen eingehenden Reflexionen lassen die Bronzeformen wie bewegte, lebende Strukturen erscheinen. Und tatsächlich wirken sie wie etwas organisch Gewachsenes. Sie bilden jedoch keinen durchgehenden Zusammenhang, sondern drei voneinander separierte Elemente, wobei das mittlere zwischen den anderen beiden zu schweben scheint. Dadurch wird ein den braunen Fond miteinbindender, in sich bewegter Spannungsraum erzeugt. Lorenzo Frechilla Del Rey hat hier eine abstrakt-minimalistische Reliefskulptur geschaffen, die zugleich ein dynamisches Bild ist.
zum Künstler
Lorenzo Frechilla del Rey studierte er Bildhauerei am College of Arts and Crafts in Valladolid unter der Leitung von José Luis Medina, Ángel Trapote und Antonio Vaquero. 1948 gründete er gemeinsam mit Anhängern des spanisch-amerikanischen Konstruktivismus nach Joaquín Torres García die avantgardistische Künstlergruppe „Pascual Letreros“, mit der er bis 1954 ausstellte. Ab 1951 lebte er in Madrid, wo er sich intensiv im Círculo de Bellas Artes engagierte, einer bedeutenden kulturellen Institution mit internationaler Ausstrahlung. 1961 schloss er sich zusammen mit seiner Frau, der Bildhauerin Teresa Eguíbar, der internationalen Künstlergruppe „Este–Oeste“ an und reiste mit ihr in den 1960er Jahren durch Europa. 1978 nahm er am Mittelmeer-Skulpturensymposium teil.
Sein künstlerisches Werk ist geprägt von Abstraktion: Während seine frühen Skulpturen noch figurative Elemente aufweisen, zeichnen sie sich bereits durch eigenständige, nicht imitierende Formen aus. Seine abstrakten Arbeiten sind rhythmische und musikalische Kompositionen von Materie und Leere. Frechilla del Rey schuf zahlreiche Skulpturen für den öffentlichen Raum in Spanien und Europa; seine Werke sind in bedeutenden Museen und auch in der Sammlung des spanischen Königshauses. Für sein Schaffen erhielt er mehrere Auszeichnungen und wurde 1988 zum Mitglied der Königlichen Akademie der Schönen Künste in Valladolid ernannt.

- The Appearance of Genius-
This homage to Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler shows the gallerist and art theorist as Pablo Picasso portrayed him in his lithographic portrait of 1957.
As an innovative Parisian gallery owner, Kahnweiler had exclusively represented Picasso since 1911, while Picasso had painted his famous portrait of Kahnweiler the previous year as a major work of Cubism. And it is Picasso who appears at the centre of Irmgard Biernath's image. Here, his face echoes the features of the self-portrait he painted in 1907 in the Prague National Gallery.
His eyes are wide open as he gazes into the distance, surrounded by the works of his artistic vision that have already taken shape. On the right is the bronze "Man with Sheep...
