Ismael De La Serna

Ismael Gonzalez De La Serna (1898 - 1968) was active/lived in Spain, France, United States.  Ismael De La Serna is known for Cubist and abstract painting-still life, figure, illustration.

Ismael Gonzålez de la Serna was born in 1898 in Granada, Spain.  He began painting and drawing when he was nine years old.  While in school, he became friends with Federico Garcia Lorca, later to become a famous poet.  Indeed, it was De La Serna who in 1918 illustrated Garcia Lorca's first book, Impresiones y Paisajes.

De la Serna pursued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Granada, where he learned the traditional rules of composition, form, and color.  A turning point came in his life in 1917, when he viewed an exhibition of French Impressionists in Madrid. By his own testimony, thereafter he was determined to be a "free" painter, devoted to new forms.

In 1915, at age seventeen, he exhibited for the first time in Granada.  A few years later, upon his second exhibition, the art critic Manuel Robles wrote: "There is no doubt that de la Serna knows color and his spirit penetrates the essence and line of his work."    ...  [Displaying 1000 of 7554 characters.]  Artist bio
