Jose
Caballero
Born
in 1918, Huelva
He
abandoned his engineering studies in Madrid in order to
study in Vazquez Diaz school in letter’s studio.
He
was a friend of Federico Garcia Lorca, with whom he shared
a common exhibition of drawings in Huelva. This friendship
had a decisive influence on Caballero’s aesthetic
approach.
Introduced
by Lorca, he frequented the world of poets in
pre-civil-war Madrid. He designed the set for Lorca’s
“Bodas de Sangre” and then joined “La Barraca”
team as scenographer and sometimes as an actor.
This
was the beginning of his surrealist phase that continued
until 1950, in which year he took off towards a style of
abstract painting that combined fermentation of
expressionist tendencies and relics of surrealism.
He
won an international award for his decoration of Geneva
Opera Theatre.
