Rafael Zabaleta
He was born in Quesada (Jaén) in 1907. In 1925, he travelled to Madrid
to study at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts. Two years later, he
was named delegate of the National Artistic Treasury. After the Spanish
Civil War, charges were brought against him and he spent a brief period
at a jail in Jaén. During this period, a series of drawings begun three
years earlier on the conflict were seized. Starting from 1940, he began a
new stage of his life and painting, more original and less influenced
by academic painting. Country and mountain themes are abundantly
prominent. During his travels to Paris, Zabaleta met Picasso and other
relevant Spanish painters of the time. In 1960, he exhibited a series of
16 oil paintings and ten drawings at the Spanish pavilion in the Venice
Biennale, his most important exhibition. He died in 1960.
