DESCRIPTION
Spanish school; 20th century.
Untitled.
Oil on canvas.
Presents damages in the frame.
Measurements. 45 x 38 cm; 50 x 41 cm (frame).
This portrait of blonde girl, with blue eyes and green background resolved with a vibrant brushstroke, is inscribed in one of the lines of the Spanish painting of the 20th century: the renovation of the portrait through the direct expression and the technical freedom. The figure emerges with freshness, without academic rigidity, constructed by means of loose touches that prioritize impression and atmosphere over minute detail. The green background, barely structured, is not intended to describe a real space, but to intensify the luminous presence of the face.
The child portrait had a particular relevance in 20th century Spanish painting, as it allowed many artists to explore new forms of sensibility. Childhood, understood as a territory of innocence, offered an ideal field for experimenting with psychological expression and formal freedom.
