Manuel José (1931) - Niños jugando al toro ante la barbería

Beautiful composition of figures in motion by the vibrant painter Manuel José, showcasing one of the Madrid-born author's specialty themes: Andalusian, bullfighting, and flamenco scenes. The coloristic development he embraced since his self-taught training evidences his mastery of drawing and the essential grasp of the popular subject, always geared toward the movement of the figures that continually populate his paintings. Born in 1931, his career developed between Madrid and Andalusia between the 1950s and the 1980s.
