Description
ANTONIO ORTIZ ECHAGÜE (Guadalajara, 1883 - Buenos Aires, 1942).
"Portraits of children in the garden".
Oil on canvas. Re-drawn.
Signed in the lower right corner.
Size: 171 x 145 cm; 187 x 161 cm (frame).
The artist of this composition offers us an intimate and personal corner starring the figure of two young people. Nature and the setting share the limelight in equal parts, creating an image charged with lyricism and evocative power which is at the same time the capture of a real, fleeting instant, frozen in time by the painter's art. In this case, the two young women, immersed in a large expanse of vegetation, appear to the viewer as children. However, the way in which each of them is portrayed creates a contrast that shows the candour of childhood and the transition to maturity. The way in which each of them is dressed; one in black and the other in pink confirms this idea, in such a way that it brings a great conceptual depth to a scene that seems to emerge from everyday life.
The brother of the famous photographer José Ortiz Echagüe, he received his first artistic training in Paris, where he remained from 1897, studying at the Académie Julien and later at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in France. He also worked in the studio of Léon Bonnat. In 1901 he went to Rome, where he stayed for a year and shared a studio with Coco Madrazo. In 1903 he won a place to study at the Rome Academy after winning a prize at the exhibition held at the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. In 1907 he travelled to Sardinia and Holland, where he produced period paintings of Sardinian and Dutch themes, which brought him into contact with the Romantic painting of the time. In 1912 he returned to Spain to paint a portrait of Alfonso XII. A year later he travelled to Argentina, where he became known as a portraitist. He held his first one-man exhibition in 1919, and from then on his activity was spread over various countries, such as the United States, Argentina and Holland. In 1933 he moved with his family to La Pampa in Argentina, where he lived for the rest of his life. Academically trained, he had a long career as a portraitist and genre painter. His works abound in cultural allusions, of which the Sardinian, Dutch and Moroccan paintings are the best examples. On occasions he introduced into his painting chromatic solutions close to Iturrino and Fauvism. Antonio Ortiz was awarded third (1904, 1906) and second medals (1910) at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. He won the gold medal at the International Exhibition in Munich in 1909 and the silver medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris in 1921. He was appointed knight of the court of Alfonso XII in 1922, and in 1926 president of the Association of Painters and Sculptors of Madrid. He is currently represented in his house-museum in La Pampa, as well as in various private American and European collections.
