EUGENIO GRANELL (A Coruña, 1912 - Madrid, 2001).
"Hunter, 1945.
Oil on panel.
Signed and dated in the lower right corner.
Size: 23 x 30 cm; 32 x 43 cm (frame).
In the work presented here Granell shows a notable reduction of compositional elements, prioritising the figures, dispensing with the scenographies of previous periods, constructing the characters from masses of flat and intense colours. These resources enhance the monumentality of the figures and increase their symbolic and morphological description. Another characteristic element of this work is the use of the colour black as a contour line that generates forms.
A painter, watercolourist, engraver and sculptor, Eugenio Fernández Granell spent his childhood in Santiago de Compostela, a city that would largely influence his plastic work. Initially inclined towards music, in 1928 he moved to Madrid to study violin at the Escuela Superior de Música. In the capital he frequented intellectual circles linked to Marxism, and finally joined the Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista (Marxist Unification Workers' Party) in 1935. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Republican army, and also edited "El combatiente rojo", his party's newspaper. However, after the end of the war, he was persecuted both by the new regime and by his communist comrades for being a Trotskyist. He went into exile in France in 1939, and after passing through several concentration camps, he left for South America. He settled in the Dominican Republic, where he joined the Symphony Orchestra as first violin. However, when the Trujillo dictatorship hardened, Fernández Granell left the country to settle in Guatemala, where he taught at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas. When the Guatemalan revolution broke out in 1950, he had to flee again for fear of Stalinist persecution, and this time he arrived with his family in Puerto Rico, where the painter took up the chair of Art History in the Faculty of Humanities. However, despite this continuous wandering, Fernández Granell continued his artistic work, holding exhibitions and publishing books of short stories and poetry. In 1956 he met Marcel Duchamp, who flattered his plastic and poetic art and reinforced his surrealist activity. That same year he moved to New York, where he settled permanently. Professor of Spanish Literature at Brooklyn College in the city, during this period he obtained a doctorate in Sociology from the New School for Social Research, with the thesis "Picasso's Guernica. The end of a Spanish era" (1967). Fernández Granell remained in New York until 1985, when, after retiring, he returned to Spain with his wife, settling in Madrid. Already widely recognised, he was awarded important prizes such as the Gold Medal for Fine Arts. In 1995, the foundation that bears his name was established in Santiago de Compostela, which today houses most of his artistic production.
