PALMEIRO MARTINEZ, JOSE
At age eighteen, found work in the workshops of the newspaper "The Sun" and began publishing his first drawings. Later he traveled to Barcelona, and spent some time in the city. Encouraged by his friends and decided to follow his ambitions, he traveled to Paris in 1925, settling in the attic of an old house, near the Sacre Coeur. He met a few days after arriving, the Spanish painter Celso Lagar, and through him, the whole group of the Spanish School of Paris. From the outset made great friends with Lagar, Gines Parra and Oscar Dominguez. His painting covers the figure, the still life, floral themes and landscapes, and it should be included as part of postcubism, highlighting the strength of his drawing and vivid color, which sometimes reaches the border of fauvism without ever losing the concept of elegance and delicacy.
