Lot description

Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated.
Visible restorations on the reverse.
José Mª Ucelay's painting is by far the most original of the so-called "Basque School". His highly personal style imbues the reality of his scenes with an atmosphere full of magic, light and colour.
Ucelay was appointed director of Fine Arts in the Basque Country in 1936, and was therefore responsible for safeguarding the Basque pictorial heritage during the Spanish Civil War. After his forced exile in England, where he remained until 1949, he returned to his birthplace, the family farmhouse in Busturia, where from 1969 he confined himself and withdrew from the world, plunged into a period of decadence in which he devoted himself to easel painting until his death in 1979. This work would therefore belong to his last year of production.
81 x 100 cm; 107 x 125.5 cm (frame).
