Emilio Greco Paintings

Italian, 1913-1995
Emilio Greco, (born Oct. 11, 1913, Catania, Italy—died April 5, 1995, Rome), Italian sculptor of bronze and marble figurative works, primarily female nudes and portraits. At the age of 13, Greco was apprenticed to a stonemason, and he later studied at the Academy of Art in Palermo. Though he began exhibiting in Rome in 1943, he was not well-established until after World War II. His first solo exhibition was held in 1946, and in 1948 he became a teaching assistant at the Artistic Secondary School in Rome. His subject matter varied little throughout his career. In their refined, elongated forms and assertive balance, his sculpted figures reflect the Mannerist tradition in Italian art (e.g., Bather No. 2, 1956–57). The expressive, luminous surface treatment in some pieces, however, strikes a clear parallel with the work of Giacomo Manzù and Marino Marini. He designed one of the bronze doors of the Cathedral at Orvieto (1961–64) and the monument to Pope John XXIII in Saint Peter’s (1965–67). In 1974 a Greco Garden, dedicated to his works, was opened at the Open Air Museum, Hakone, Japan. In 1991 a group of Greco’s works, donated by the artist to the city of Orvieto, was placed on permanent exposition at the Palazzo Soliano. Source: "Emilio Greco," Encyclopedia Britannica, 2017

Located in Sitges, Barcelona

Artist: Pascual Bueno Ferrer (b. 1930) Title: Pensamiento “Nena” (verso inscription) Date: circa 1975 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 81 × 65 cm (31.9 × 25.6 in) Signature: Signed lower right Inscription: Titled and dated on reverse Style: Post-Impressionist Figurative Condition: Good overall condition. Stable paint layer and firm canvas. Minor age wear consistent with period. Frame: Unframed Location: Sitges, Spain Category: Paintings Subcategory: Portraits Materials: Oil, Canvas Color Palette: Soft neutrals, warm cream, muted green, earth tones Orientation: Vertical A large mid-century Spanish female portrait executed in oil on canvas, circa 1975. The composition captures a young woman standing by a window, immersed in quiet introspection. Soft, diffused light enters from the left, gently modeling the figure and enhancing the delicate tonal transitions in her face and dress. The restrained palette of warm creams, muted greens and earthy browns creates a serene, romantic atmosphere. The loose, atmospheric brushwork situates the painting within a post-impressionist figurative tradition, emphasizing mood over strict realism. With its generous scale (81 × 65 cm / 31.9 × 25.6 in), the piece offers strong decorative presence while maintaining an intimate emotional tone. An elegant and affordable example of Spanish mid-20th-century figurative painting, ideal for collectors or refined interior settings. Pascual Bueno Ferrer (b. 1930) is a Catalan painter trained at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. His career includes exhibitions in Spain and abroad, with a body of work centered on portraiture, landscape and still life. His painting combines expressive color with a lyrical, figurative sensibility characteristic of postwar Spanish art.
