Gerardo Rueda
(Madrid, 1926-1996)
Author's artworks
20th Century Spanish
This highly influential Madrid-born painter, sculptor and engraver was instrumental in the foundation of the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca, along with Gustavo Torner (1925) and Fernando Zóbel (1924-1984).
He combined studies in Law with his training in Fine Arts. After an initial phase copying Cubist works and making still-life collages, Rueda soon felt drawn to abstraction which he embraced with a monochromatic approach.
In the 1960s his work was included in the exhibition
Before Picasso, After Miró
held at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and has also been seen in major solo and group shows in Bilbao, Madrid, Seville, Verona and Manila, among others.
