Rafael Pérez Giménez Barradas (4 January 1890, in Montevideo – 12 February 1929, in Montevideo), was an Uruguayan modernist painter and graphic artist who worked in Spain. == Biography == His parents were immigrants from Spain. His older sister, Carmen, was a pianist and composer. His younger brother, Antonio, was a poet who wrote under the name Antonio de Ignacios. He absorbed an interest in art from his father at an early age and was almost entirely self-taught. Magazine illustrations constituted his first professional work and, in 1912, he had his first exhibition, together with Guillermo Laborde.〔 In 1913, he was invited to travel to Europe with a friend who had won a government grant to study singing at La Scala in Milan. While there, he came into contact with the Futurist movement and spent some time in Paris, where he was exposed to the latest trends in art. As a result, he developed his own variation on Cubism, which he called "Vibrationism".〔(Brief biography ) @ Arte España.〕 The following year, he went to Barcelona, where he associated with a group of young Catalonian poets led by Joan Salvat-Papasseit. He stayed only a short time, then started for Madrid on foot, but got only as far as Aragón, where he was overcome by fatigue and hunger and taken in by a peasant couple. In 1915, he married their daughter Pilar in Zaragoza. Later that year, he held his first solo exhibition there. The following year, he returned to Barcelona with his new wife and reunited with his mother, who had moved back to Spain to be with them. While there, he became acquainted with his fellow Uruguayan painter, Joaquín Torres García,〔(Brief biography ) @ Biografías y Vidas.〕 who had been living in Spain since 1891. Torres was apparently impressed by Barradas' Vibrationism and incorporated some of its elements into his own "Constructive Universalism". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rafael Barradas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
