Oil on canvas Eduardo Pisano

Oil on canvas by Eduardo Pisano (1912-1986) Title: Bullfighting Scene. Year: 1954. Dimensions: 47x55. Framed: 70x80. Spanish-born artist Eduardo Pisano arrived in France in 1939 and later settled in the Montparnasse district. He joined many Spanish artists already in Paris, such as Manuel Angeles Ortiz, Antoni Clavé, and Grau Sala. He also met the surrealist artist Oscar Dominguez. Initially, he received support from Jacques Vidal, a framer of Catalan origin. In 1967, he met André Licoys, an industrialist and collector from Clamart, who, captivated by his paintings, became his patron. Eduardo Pisano's work is characterized by the predominance of color, outlined in black. Very attached to his homeland, which remains a source of inspiration for him, he painted numerous landscapes, scenes of rural life, flamenco dancers, and bullfighters in an ochre palette. His life in Paris is also reflected in his art, through themes from his bohemian life such as nudes and portraits of women. A multidisciplinary artist, he worked in both painting and drawing and also created monotypes. The artist was featured in an exhibition at the Musée des Avelines, the art and history museum of Saint-Cloud, from November 18, 2021, to February 13, 2022.
