Fermín Arango Barcia (April 9, 1874 – October 5, 1962) was a Spanish-Argentine painter. He produced over sixty works in his career, which were predominantly landscapes. [1] His work has been described as part of Impressionism and Symbolism, and was influenced by French painting. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Born in the Asturian town of Santa Eulalia de Oscos, Arango emigrated to Buenos Aires with his family when he was very young. [2] [5] There he completed his artistic training at the Association for the Promotion of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires. [3] He had his first exhibition there in 1904 at the Witcomb Gallery, where he displayed paintings including El embarcadero del lago, La trancera y puerto Hauret, Nocturno, Idilio, Femme, La toillete, and Paisaje del Sena. [1] [5] [6] During this time, he worked as an illustrator for La Nación and Caras y Caretas (Argentina). [3]
In 1905, he moved to Paris, France, where he was in frequent contact with Pablo Picasso, Ignacio Zuloaga, Juan Gris, Guillaume Apolinaire, and Hermenegildo Camarasa. [2] [3] [5] Between 1910 and 1913, he exhibited paintings several times at the "Autumn Salon" of the Grand Palais. [1] In 1914, his work was exhibited in the salon of La Libre Esthétique in Brussels, in honor of Darío de Regoyos, who had died the previous year. [2] In 1919, he participated in the Exposition of Spanish Painting at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, along with works from several of the aforementioned artists. [1]
