José Beulas Recasens (b. 1921)

The painter José Beulas Recasens was born in Santa Coloma de Farnés (Gerona) in 1921. It was there that he began creating works that depicted the local landscape. At an early age, he discovered the historic Olot School of landscape artists, which was located near Santa Coloma and included painters like Mir, Vayreda, Urgell, Soler and Jorba. In the early 1940s, he travelled to the province of Huesca. This was a very significant move for Beulas because the landscape of Huesca was to become one of the essential themes of his work. In 1946, he settled in Huesca, and one year later he travelled to Barcelona to take drawing classes at the Baixas Academy. In 1948, he received a grant from the Huesca Provincial Council, which enabled him to pursue studies at the School of Fine Arts of the San Fernando Academy in Madrid. Beulas was taught by a group of instructors that included Ramón Stolz and Vázquez Díaz, who had a significant influence on him. Among Spanish artists of the time, Beulas also admired Benjamín Palencia and Ortega Muñoz. In 1955, he won a grant from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to attend the Spanish Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. In 1960, he returned to Madrid and became one of the most well-known and sought after painters on the Spanish scene, and his work was exhibited in both Spain and Latin America. Furthermore, Beulas presented his work repeatedly at the Venice Biennial. (cbo)
