Julio Martin Caro Soto - Spanish (Pamplona, 1933 - Madrid, 1968) Painter; classified in the new Spanish figuration that developed in the early 1960s and was a reaction to informalism, already exhausted. Contemporary of Saura, Barjola, Mateos, Medina. Vento and Fraile, is placed like this in the vanguard of abstract expressionism of neogoyista character, to which it is given especially in the last ten years of its life, truncated prematurely by a generalized vasculopathy that painfully conditions its existence. From a family of bullfighter merchants, half Castilian and half Navarre, he had a strong inclination for music and literature. His favorite author was Kafka. In 1953 he left his university studies to enter the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando (Madrid), where he was a student, among others, of Manuel Gutiérrez Navas, Pancho Cossío and Carlos Pascual de Lara, with whom he collaborated in the mural paintings of the Theater Real and to whom he owed his admiration for El Greco. In these years he went to the Prado Museum three times a week and studied carefully not only the Spanish-Cretan painter but the tenebrist Zurbarán and Goya, whose black series had a powerful impact on him. In 1959 he obtained an extraordinary scholarship from the Prince of Viana Institution to expand studies of fresco painting at the Venice School of Fine Arts, with its director and famous muralist Bruno Saetti, who proposed him as an assistant to his chair. This official help was recommended by Daniel Vázquez Díaz. The stylistic evolution of the painter, until now, had been rapid. He began by conceiving his themes in an impressionistic way. He was then attracted to post-impressionism, with an influence of Van Gogh in the chromatic expression and Cézanne in the simplification of volumes and planes, oriented towards cubism that sought at the same time the expressiveness of things, taking from them their substantial intimacy. It was the moment in which he was also interested in Gutierrez Solana's stark painting. The relationship with Saetti, however, was transcendental, because on the one hand he deepened in the techniques of mural painting "to the Venetian", which would make his representations expressively gain, and on the other the strong pathos of the Bolognese painter - who deformed the figure until touching the abstract art - pushed even more to the expressionism, that in those years they were impelling artist like Bacon, Dubuffet and De Kooning. The expressionism of Martín-Caro sought, by the influence of mural painting and Spanish tenebrism, the sculptural suggestion of the figure in space. Hence, it is also considered within spatialism, according to which the form must be projected into space as much as it is within it. A travel fan, they used to inspire his work and conduct deep studies, for example of Italian Renaissance painting and that of Brueghel the Elder, in Vienna. They also served to make himself known in Europe and America, especially in France, Italy, Venezuela and the United States. From the aesthetic point of view, the interest of his painting focuses on the value given to the composition of the figures and the transformation of the color textures, because if at first it uses the thick stain to define the shape, then these are liquefied, their color ranges in gray, white and ocher are cooled, and the pictorial stroke is gestured with vehemence, in the same temperamental progression of the author towards existentialism. He used personal technical procedures. He used the gouache and stamped magnificent lithographs, pictorial in appearance and expressionist stroke. Painter of landscape, portrait and inert nature, it was especially of the human or animal figure, painfully considered. They emphasize their series of peasants, nudes, rams, maternity and human forms. Martín-Caro reached the Madrid City Hall Award (1955), the City of Pamplona (1962) and the Italian Painting Master (1960). His work is preserved in important national and foreign museums and collections. l
