Jose Antonio Fernandez Muro Biography

(b madrid, 1920). argentine painter of spanish birth. he moved to argentina in 1938, studying under the spanish catalan painter vicente puig (1882–1965) and holding his first one-man exhibition in 1944. in 1952 he joined the artistas modernos de la argentina. he took constructivism as his starting-point, preserving its rigour and severity but moving towards a lyrical and highly personal form of abstraction. in the late 1950s he began to create rhythmic patterns of circles on geometric shapes by means of perforated sheets of metallic foil, an impressed effect which he was the first to use in argentina, for example in penetrating black (1962; washington, dc, a. mus. americas).
