• Lot Description
  JULIÁN DE TELLAECHE (Vergara, Gipuzkoa, 1884 - Lima, Peru, 1957). "Ship's prow". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 52.5 x 61.5 cm; 70 x 77 cm (frame). Ships, masts, docks, sails and sailors become the real protagonists of Tellaeche's paintings. With a Cezannian style, in Tellaeche's paintings the brushstroke and the color become independent of the model to express themselves, giving great importance to the pictorial order and the artistic personality. They are variegated compositions, represented with a marked constructive rigor and characterized by an iconographic imaginary close to the sea and its surroundings. Julián de Tellaeche left his job as a sailor to devote himself to painting, thanks to Eduardo Chicharro, who taught him and encouraged him to travel to Paris to complete his training. After being in the French capital, in the Academies Julien and Colarossi, he settled in Lequeitio, beginning to exhibit in 1910 (IV Exhibition of Modern Art of Bilbao), at which time he began his participation in national and international exhibitions in various cities (Barcelona, Brussels, Stockholm, San Sebastian, Madrid, etc.). The Civil War caused him to go into exile in the Parisian capital, moving in 1952 to the city of Lima, where he continued his artistic career and worked as curator of the Peruvian National Artistic Treasury. He never forgot the world of the sea, frequently capturing it in his works. He was also known for his membership in the founding group of the so-called Association of Basque Artists (1911). His work is preserved in private collections (mainly Spanish) and in institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Museo Provincial de Vitoria, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, the BBVA Collection, the Museo de San Telmo in San Sebastián, etc.
