Oteiza, Jorge de (Spanish sculptor, 1908-2003)
|
Note: A Basque artist and theorist; Oteiza began working seriously as a sculptor after leaving his studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Madrid around 1935, though his artistic activity can be traced to the late 1920s. He was influenced by trends in Expressionism and Cubism early in his career. During the Spanish Civil War he moved to South America; travelling to Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Peru, and worked as a writer and as a teacher. In Buenos Aires he taught at the Escuela Nacional de Cerámica and later functioned as official supervisor of ceramic studies in Colombia. In 1944 he outlined a theory of "objective aesthetics," and gave many lectures during this period advocating radical experimentation in the arts. Oteiza returned to Spain in 1950, finding that most artists of his generation had fled the country or been killed in the war. He is credited with founding Spain's modern sculptural trend almost singlehandedly. His work proved influential to members of Equipo 57, and to Eduardo Chillida, Andreu Alfaro, Txomin Badiola, Pello Irazu, and Juan Luis Moraza. He is thought to be the most important art theorist to have worked in Spain during the Franco period. He abandoned sculpture in 1958 due to frustration reconciling his own theories with sculptural practice. He turned to urban development and theory from this time on, and addressed aesthetics from a Basque point of view. In 1969 he founded the Escuela de Deva in Guipúzcoa. His 1963 book "How Much Longer?...An Interpretation of the Basque Soul" is considered his most important written work. The Bilbao Museum of Fine Arts holds the most complete collection of his sculpture. Spanish sculptor. |
