Luis Quintanilla Isasi (12 June 1893 - 16 October 1978) was a Spanish visual artist and one of the most important muralists of the Spanish Republic.[1]
Career
He went to Paris as an aspiring artist in 1912 and met cubist Juan Gris. He returned to neutral Spain after the start of World War I. Back in Paris in the 1920s he met Ernest Hemingway and other modernist artists.[2] In 1934, Hemingway and John Dos Passos organized a show of Quintanilla's art at the Pierre Matisse gallery in New York. [3]
Quintanilla joined the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in 1929. He was imprisoned for eight months in 1934 for revolutionary activities. In 1936 he joined the Republican army in the Spanish Civil War. Following their defeat, Quintanilla went into exile first in New York from January 1939, and then to Paris from October 1958. He returned to Spain after the death of General Franco in 1976. [4]
