Tribute to María Moreno in the Art Gallery Against Oblivion in Boadilla de Rioseco

Home Tribute Video Text TRIBUTE TO MARÍA MORENO A María Moreno Play Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Embed Video Link Copied The painter María Moreno (May 14, 1933, Madrid) passed away in Madrid on the morning of February 17, 2020 at the age of 86. Trained at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid (1954-59), she became a drawing teacher herself during the 1960s. Task that she would leave to devote herself to her artistic creation. She shared her formative years and early career with a group of artists dedicated to depicting reality, with whom she created bonds of friendship that have been lasting over time. Among these Madrid Realists, a name used by critics, were Isabel Quintanilla, Esperanza Parada, Amalia Avia, Francisco and Julio López, as well as her life partner, Antonio López. With him she has shared her artistic concerns, sharing mutual and indispensable support for the progress of their careers. The admiration between them has been a constant. They formed a family with two daughters, María and Carmen, of which María Moreno has been a fundamental pillar. Although her individual exhibitions have not been as numerous as the group shows, due, in part, to the fact that it was not a possibility that she contemplated with great interest; they have been essential for her work to be known and admired by both national and international collectors. To her artistic side we must add that of artistic management, which has been essential for the realization of different creative projects of the couple; including what is one of the most important films on the international film scene dedicated to artistic creation: The Quince Tree Sun , by Víctor Erice. María took over the executive production and, thanks to her determination, the filming of the tape was completed. She was an artist of great sensitivity, who knew not only how to capture reality, but also how to add her emotion and sensitive gaze. She dedicated her talent to paint and draw those subjects that most seduced her, such as the bright landscapes of La Mancha and Madrid, but also her home and garden, as well as flowers and some brilliant still lifes; leaving works of great personal imprint. Her approach to colour and light was progressive, but once she opened her work to light, she would no longer abandoned it. ​ BHC

BIO María Moreno (Madrid,1933-2020) ​ From a young age, she felt a strong sense of vocation for the arts and an interest in literature and music, which provided her with a rich inner world. ​ She trained at the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, which she entered in 1954 to study Fine Arts, specializing in painting. This period marked her for life, not only professionally but also personally. There she met her friends and fellow artists Antonio López, Isabel Quintanilla, Amalia Avia, Julio and Francisco Hernandez López and Lucio Muñoz (who soon shifted from figuration to abstraction, although he never abandoned the bond with the group). The work of these artists has been labelled with different names: Madrilenian realism, Madrilenian figuration, or Realists artists of Madrid, among others. ​ María Moreno married Antonio López in 1961 and began a long creative career. Although both have sometimes felt an interest in the same motifs, which they have approached from closeness and observation of reality, working from nature, each of them has developed their work individually, achieving their own style and vision. ​ Since the seventies of the last century, the work of María Moreno began to be exhibited and became part of several international collections. The exhibitions held since in Germany and the UK dedicated to the group of artists who devoted themselves to the New Figuration in Madrid at the time had a great impact. ​ Her solo exhibitions have been less numerous but have had a major impact on the knowledge of her work by national and international collectors. In 1973 she exhibited at the gallery of Ernst Wuthenow in Frankfurt, who also organized several relevant shows dedicated to the Spanish realism practiced by María and some of her colleagues. In 1990, the Parisian gallery owner Claude Bernard convinced the painter to exhibit in his gallery almost all the paintings and drawings made during those years; achieving a brilliant exhibition with which it obtained an important recognition. ​ In recent years, her work has been part of several group shows, being especially significant the one held in 1991 at the Royal Academy of Madrid, Otra realidad. Compañeros en Madrid (Another Reality. Partners in Madrid), as well as the recent Realistas de Madrid (Realists of Madrid) held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (February-May 2016). The first was key in the understanding of the Madrilenian figuration that emerged in the fifties within the context of the art that was done by other contemporaries and colleagues; while the latter has offered the opportunity to put the work of these artists into perspective after having developed lengthy careers. ​ The subjects of her works, which are always intimately linked to her and her living space, encompass landscapes, in which Madrid has a prominent place, but also of La Mancha; portraits of people from her environment from her first years; interiors, which have been present since the beginning of her career; a few still lifes; gardens and flowers, for which she developed a special predilection from the nineties. In addition to numerous private collections, her work is held by the following public collections: Fundació Sorigué, Lérida; Artium, Vitoria; Museum of Contemporary Art of Toledo; Iberdrola Collection, Bilbao; Colección BBVA, Madrid; Kupferstichkabinett, Kunsthalle, Hamburg. ​ She died on February 17, 2020 in Madrid at age 86. ​ Beatriz Hidalgo Caldas CONTACT Email : estudioantoniolopez@gmail.com ​ NOTICE : This is an email of the studio team for professional purposes, only for technical and work issues.
