Artist biography:

Mariano P. Navarro was one of the most devoted painters of this Municipal Exhibition Hall, showing here his progress in studying the Burgos landscape in December 1947, an exhibition in which he also contributed a sample of decorative panels inspired by ancient Chinese art, and, after this occasion, he once again delighted Burgos audiences in November 1959 and June 1961. Until 1964, the artistic scene in the city was similar to that of the previous period. The Exhibition Hall set up in the lower floors of the abandoned Principal Theatre constituted the incipient solution granted since 1946 by the municipal authorities. However, even though this venue had been prepared on a provisional basis, in the early 1960s it remained the only space in the city where Burgos artists could make their work known to their fellow citizens. In November 1959, after having been closed for a period, the Municipal Hall reopened with an exhibition by the already veteran Catalan painter, settled in Burgos, Mariano P. Navarro. In this show one could see how the artist’s consolidated body of work “did not stray from his path,” reappearing with his traditional landscapes and with some classical-style compositions, whose success was assured in the city, which would be confirmed again by the presence of a large audience, this same Hall in June 1961.
