BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

He was a painter and a professor of drawing, painting and geometry in Barcelona’s Instituto Maragall de Enseñanza Media and the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge during the first half of the 20th century. He was born in Ayamonte, Huelva (Spain) in 1903 and he studied in the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, where he was the disciple of Gonzalo Bilbao. He admired Velázquez and Zurbarán a lot, and his paintings reflected their influence. He showed a great talent for the arts since a very young age. He devoted himself to both watercolour and oil painting. At the age of 14 he had an studio for himself. He earned his living in Seville by painting watercolours depicting the gardens that he sold to a Gallery without need to bargain. In 1926 he held an exhibition of his works in Toledo. This was the exhibition which opened his way to the rest of individual exhibitions he held allover Spain during his life. He was mostly known for his oil paintings, although he treated all the aspects in the arts, including miniature, lithograph, gouache, etc.

He was always classed as a traditionalist painter, deeply Spanish and win love with his homeland. His best achievements were the depiction of the feminine figure and the nude, for which he was awarded in several occasions. During his youth he obtained a scholarship from Seville’s city hall in order to study in Paris for one year (1926). There, he made contact with the arts students in the Sorbonne and with the famous painters of the time. The influence of this trip to Paris was decisive in his work, and he always remembered that year as one that marked his creative spirit with an indelible mark. In 1933 he married Teresa Marina Bocanegra, the daughter of a wealthy businessman from Malaga, and he settled his residence in Granada until 1935. In January 1935 he moved with his wife to Madrid in order to take part in the examination for a drawing professorship for Secondary schools. He obtained the first position and the was assigned to Barcelona’s Instituto Maragall. At the end of the examination he had the joy to become a father for the first time. His daughter - following the Andalusian tradition- received the name of her two grandmothers: Joaquina-Dolores. 
 

Previously, in Andalusia, González Sáenz had been the Director of Orihuela’s Secondary School, and in Granada he was friends with all the intellectuals of the time, meeting personally Miguel Hernández, García Lorca and Pedro Salinas, who had been his teacher. His interest in the arts did not limit himself to the teaching of drawing and painting and his own artistic production. He always showed a great interest in literature, too. 
 

He was a purist of the language who was constantly making his library grow with the acquisition of new poetry, literature and art works. 
 

In his leisure time, he also liked to writhe stories in prose. When he finished his secondary studies in Seville and before he started his Fine Arts studies, González Sáenz studied Philosophy and letters for one year in Seville’s university, but his love for painting was stronger and he stopped his Letters studies. He had a twin brother, Joaquin, who was his spitting image, and who also followed a career in the arts, guided by the example of his brother Rafael. His pictorial streak was a family tradition for the González Sáenz brothers, as their father Ismael González Silgado was an amateur painter all his life, and he was specialised in hunting still lifes. 
 

He was also a patron of the arts. He was the first to command the building of a theatre in Ayamonte, the village where Rafael and Joaquin were born. In Ayamonte there is today a street dedicated to the González Sáenz brothers. 
 

During his stay in the Faculty of Arts, Rafael González Sáenz he learned to love history and it could be said that it was there that his traditionalist style was born there, and it was extended to the whole of Spain. In Castille he painted typical and rustic scenes from nature of Toledo’s embroiderers. In Andalusia he painted open air markets and compositions with gypsies and fishermen. In Catalonia he revealed all the aspects of the Costa Brava, the Pyrenees and the typical characters of that area. 
 

During the Spanish Civil War he lived in Catalonia and it was then when his second daughter, Lolita, was born. Soon after, the family moved to the Garriga. There, where his daughters took their first steps, Rafael González Sáenz obtained the respect and friendship of the Catalans of the area. From that moment onwards, he had not any more the intention to leave Catalonia, once he came to Barcelona after the war. Soon after he took again the former professor position he had obtained in 1935. 
 

From that moment on, he kept on working hard and his career boomed. He obtained, during the years, a series of painting prizes and teaching awards. In 1950 he was awarded with the third medal in the Exposición Nacional de Madrid. IN 1960 he obtained the 2nd prize of the Castillo de Marbella, and later the 1st prize of the Bienal del Linares with an artwork that went to Berlin’s museum. 
 

In 1942 he made his first trip in a boat in the Mediterranean, with a stopover in Mallorca, Valencia and Alicante. His family accompanied him during this trip, which ended in Malaga, where his third son, Ismael, was born. From that moment on, Rafael González Sáenz established the custom of spending all the summers in Malaga, where he held a yearly exhibition of his paintings. On his return to Barcelona on boat, he intensely prepared his paintings to expose them in Barcelona. In 1946 he obtained in an examination the position of Assistant Professor of Colour and composition in the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes, and after a couple of years he became the secretary of that same school. Soon after he occupied the interim professorship of Geometrical drawing and projections, also in Fine Arts. Finally, in 1961, he obtained this position in Madrid by State Exam. He worked in this position until his death in 1962, two years after the death of his twin brother, Joaquin. 
 

González Sáenz works are kept in private collections allover Spain, and in museums in the whole world, such as the ones in New York, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Málaga, and other. During the last twenty years of his life, he regularly held exhibitions in Andalusia, Barcelona and Madrid. He obtained a great fame as a portraitist and he obtained important commissions for official centres, such as Malaga’s city hall, for which he painted four portraits of the majors, a portrait of Barcelona’s University rector and other personalities for centres in Madrid. When the famous bullfighter Manolete died, the Linares city hall commissioned his portrait to him. 
 

He always signed Rafael G. Sáenz, and he was also known as Sáenz. 
He was the author of textbooks with prints for first, second, third and fifth years of high school. These were the years were drawing was taught. His prints were very popular because of their successful subjects. His students had in him a teacher, a counselor and an ideal friend. He even created lifelong friendships with Catalan painters such as the ill-fated Rogent. The three children of the artist inherited his artistic talent. After his death many Spanish writers and art critics praised him in the national newspapers, and he was exalted both for his works and his personality. 
 

As a finishing touch, in 1982, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of his death, his son Ismael organized in Malaga, with the collaboration of the art gallery Malacke, a tribute exhibition of González Sáenz works. The exhibition was a great artistic success and once again the late painter was exalted by the press, which remembered him with the admiration that it always showed for him.”
