José Garcia Tella (1906-1983) is a Spanish painter born in Madrid, initially passionate about cinema and theatre.
A Republican soldier during the Spanish Civil War, his involvement led him to exile in France in 1939.
Deported, a resistance fighter, he began painting late in 1948 following his traumas.
Attached to Art Brut, his powerful work attracted the collector Henri-Pierre Roché, who acquired 165 of his oils.
