The naturalistic longing in Anselmo Guinea

Mikel Lertxundi Galiana

PhD in Philosophy and Humanities and independent art curator

In the late 1880s, the contact with the novel aesthetic and compositional concepts that Adolfo Guiard brought from his sojourn in Paris spurred a conversion in Anselmo Guinea’s art, which laid the groundwork for his prosperity in the Roman market. His friend’s suggestions, along with his first journey to Paris in 1892, shaped his shift towards naturalism.

Amidst gypsies, bullfighters and poets. Figures and models in the works of Ignacio Zuloaga

Javier Novo González

Coordinator of Conservation and Research at the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum

Ignacio Zuloaga’s artistic career took off thanks to his unvarnished depiction of popular, worldly figures from his era in different roles: figures from the worlds of bullfighting or the Church, poets, witches and prostitutes. With all these models, the artist sparked many controversies in Spain while garnering major success internationally.
