Item Description
Surrealist Desert Scene at Sunrise, or perhaps sunset. The colors are just amazing.
Painter, sketcher, illustrator, ceramist and lawyer, Lucio López-Rey was born in Madrid, Spain, January 19, 1904. At the age of twelve his drawings illustrated the magazine “Charlot”. At the age of 30 was named artistic director of the newspaper Politica and his caricatures reproduced there had great success. His first solo show was in 1935 in Galería de Bellas Artes, Madrid. During the Spanish civil war López-Rey moved to Paris. He executed then many ceramic pieces that “had something of fantastic, a lot of ironic and enriched with an extraordinary decorative brilliance”. In 1939 he established in Copenhagen. The Danish National Museum acquired several of his ceramic artworks. Due to the German invasion to Denmark, he traveled with his wife to Finland and from here to Mexico (1942). In this country, and according to the art critics “his painting is characterized by an imaginative sense closely aligned with reality, whether representing a Mexican landscape, a Parisian scene, a naked female or a religious theme; it has always a sense of tenderness reinforced with an ironical touch… where greens and ocres are emphasized”. He immigrated in 1945 to New York where he had his first individual exhibition in the Bonestell Gallery. In 1946 he exhibited again his works and the New Yorker art critics rewarded him with a prize of US$2,000 granted to the Paintings of the Year.
