Antonio Uria Monzon

1929-1996

Mixed techniques using pencil, ink and pastel measure about 35 X 27 cm and were mounted in modern Dutch style frames 53 X 45 cm with “museum” glasses anti reflections.

Antonio Uria Monzon, a Spanish artist who was first exiled in Paris and then alternated with Ciboure and Agen (his wife’s hometown), developed a very personal universe, with influences reshaped and perfectly assimilated  such as Goya and Picasso. If a part of his work consisted of making hyperrealistic portraits, especially of children, a whole part is his other passion: bullfighting, mainly focused on the movement masterfully maked in watercolor or oil. Here we have another facet of his work, a kind of poetic surrealism that he developed in parallel with the 60s at his death.  See also our “Erection des croix” In partnership with Galerie Lafouresse, we are specialists in paintings on the Basque Country, the Landes and the Bassin d’Arcachon.
