Following this advice, Jos\u00e9 began to attend evening classes at the Arts and Crafts School. This was where his artistic vocation truly came alive, particularly under the influence of the History of Art classes (taught by Ricardo Agrasot), as well as his friendship with Bernardo Olmedo, another pupil at the school.<br \/>\nDuring his early youth, then, between the ages of 17 and 20, Guerrero combined his work at the carpenter\u2019s shop with his classes, as well as beginning to paint on his own. He left the Arts and Crafts School after a much talked about confrontation with the teacher Gabriel Morcillo in 1934.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"

The 1936 uprising found him stationed in Ceuta.<br \/>\nJos\u00e9 spent the war on various battlefronts drawing panoramic views, in other words, open spaces. This was something he would later emphasize when reminiscing about the war.

><p>After his discharge in Matar\u00f3 in 1939, Guerrero returned to Granada, but immediately decided to go to Madrid to pick up his art studies once more. He took several jobs to help him save, but what finally allowed him to go to the capital was the sale of a number of paintings to the Duchess of Lesera in 1940.<br \/>\nHe left, then, for Madrid, and began by going to live in his aunt\u2019s house on at number 4, Calle Zurita and he enrolled at the San Fernando Higher School of Fine Arts. Here he was particularly interested by the classes of V\u00e1zquez D\u00edaz and Lafuente Ferrari (History of Art again). His academic record shows five prizes and a first-class honours in Drawing and Colouring and Composition. On the personal side, he developed friendships with Carlos Pascual de Lara, Miguel P\u00e9rez Aguilera, Antonio Lago and Antonio Lorenzo. He found a means of earning his living by painting billboards for a cinema on the Gran V\u00eda and he spent the summers painting in Granada.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-51  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-52  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-bdc0d54633c51ee9859b4c22b6031003\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-bdc0d54633c51ee9859b4c22b6031003{\nheight:22px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-bdc0d54633c51ee9859b4c22b6031003 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-53  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-760e3636b24fbff5c6ba4d99238b6495\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-760e3636b24fbff5c6ba4d99238b6495 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-760e3636b24fbff5c6ba4d99238b6495 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-760e3636b24fbff5c6ba4d99238b6495 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-54  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7.jpg 930w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7-705x495.jpg 705w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7-450x316.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" class='avia_image '  ><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-7-930x630.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Carlos de Lara, Antonio Lago and Bernardo Olmo in Lara\u2019s studio, Madrid, in the mid-1940\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_half  avia-builder-el-56  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>From 1942 to 1946 he lived in the Casa Vel\u00e1zquez of Free France (then on Calle Serrano) thanks to its Director, the Hispanist Maurice Legendre, who was to be great protector as well as a friend. Legendre introduced him to many people, including Juana Mord\u00f3, and also spoke most favourably of his to Gallego Bur\u00edn in 1944. The institution he directed, the Casa Vel\u00e1zquez, gave the painter use of a studio on Calle Padre Dami\u00e1n, which Guerrero decided to share with Antonio Lago. He also had a larger studio at 6, Calle Fernanflor where he painted his larger canvasses. During the se years, Jos\u00e9 moved from billboard painting to teaching drawing, first at the Colegio Santiago Ap\u00f3stol and then at the French Lyc\u00e9e. He was awarded the Pensi\u00f3n Paular to study landscape painting and Hans Bloch, a German expressionist he had met in Granada in 1935, introduced him to Karl Buchholz, who was soon to become one of the first gallery owners to show his work. At the request of Professor Eduardo Chicharro in Madrid, the Diputaci\u00f3n de Granada also awarded him a grant at this time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_section-0cf024e75ba439d71c936cb4397d3071\">\n.avia-section.av-av_section-0cf024e75ba439d71c936cb4397d3071{\nbackground-color:#f4f4f4;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='1945'  class='avia-section av-av_section-0cf024e75ba439d71c936cb4397d3071 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-shadow  avia-builder-el-58  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-318'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-59  el_before_av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-60  el_before_av_heading  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-828dc36ee2334235dd6991a0420392b9\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-828dc36ee2334235dd6991a0420392b9{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-828dc36ee2334235dd6991a0420392b9 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-828dc36ee2334235dd6991a0420392b9 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-828dc36ee2334235dd6991a0420392b9 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-61  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Par\u00eds (1945)<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>On completing his studies in Fine Arts and thanks to a grant from the French government, Guerrero went to Paris in 1945 to study painting in fresco at the \u00c9cole des Beaux Arts. He stayed at the Spanish pavilion at the Cit\u00e9 Universitaire where he coincided with his friend Antonio Lago, among others. It was here he saw at first hand the work of the Spanish painters of the Paris School and the French avant-garde and was especially impressed by Matisse.<\/p>\n<p>He was profoundly influenced by his discovery of contemporary art. He was certain that, from then on, he was going to create such art, but that the vocation he felt could not be realised in Spain. This lead him on a three year-long search in the personal, the professional and the aesthetic, travelling intensely throughout Europe at a crossroads in its history, when the few remaining masters of the most progressive art were hard to approach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

Through Parsons, Guerrero met several of the most outstanding painters of the time, with some of whom he was to form a close friendship (Steinberg, Rothko and Lindner, first, then Motherwell and later Kline). He learned engraving technique with Stanley William Hayter at the prestigious Atelier 17. He also met the Garc\u00eda Lorca family and other exiled Spanish intellectuals. He also became friendly with James Johnson Sweeney, the Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, who showed great interest in his mural work.

Indeed, as the culmination to the social recognition he was beginning to enjoy and in return for his already solidly established artistic career, the Graham Foundation awarded him a prestigious grant to take part in a joint project for architects, painters and philosophers \u201cto see how the city of Chicago might be remodelled\u201d (other awardees were Wilfredo Lam, Chillida and Mies van der Rohe). However, the very day he was notified of the award, he was told of the death of his friend Carlos Pascual de Lara. In mourning, therefore, he went to Chicago to find, apart from the attention merited by such an ambitious programme, long working days in which he forced himself to struggle on, although his state of mind finally took the toll.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-106  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-107  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-108  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-0a2a9479e1186477950a9aa6cb232668\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-0a2a9479e1186477950a9aa6cb232668 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-0a2a9479e1186477950a9aa6cb232668 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-0a2a9479e1186477950a9aa6cb232668 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-109  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13.jpg 930w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13-705x531.jpg 705w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13-450x339.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" class='avia_image '  ><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-13-930x630.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Guerrero, Nueva York, 1958.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_half  avia-builder-el-111  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>After so many years, when he was finally beginning to see the fruits of all his labour, his inner life collapsed and he was obliged to undergo psychoanalysis.

In 1965, he returned with his family to Spain, where they stayed for three years at 50, Paseo de la Habana, Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"

in Spain, the Guerreros bought a house in Cuenca, at the time one of the most important centres for contemporary art. As with so many other artists of his generation, this took place thanks to the intervention of Gustavo Torner. The Spanish Museum of Abstract Art was about to open and the Cuenca group wanted to concentrate in the city the most dynamic part of the most dynamic art of the moment. In Cuenca, apart from Torner, Jos\u00e9 became friendly with Fernando Z\u00f3bel, Gerardo Rueda and Manolo Millares and met up again with Eusebio Sempere. He was present at the inauguration of the Museum, whose collection then contained his <em>Barrera con Rojo<\/em> and <em>Ocre y Rojo Sombr\u00edo<\/em>. In 1967 Juana Mord\u00f3 published his <em>Six Engravings<\/em> folder, with a text written by Jorge Guill\u00e9n for his painter friend.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-5ba6de4b9ffa97561ff6d0158ae5a65a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-124  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-125  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a6de236e6c183bbbd700292deacd2b52 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-126  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-e85fb521f5d7a3f5543abadbf3041232\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e85fb521f5d7a3f5543abadbf3041232 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e85fb521f5d7a3f5543abadbf3041232 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-e85fb521f5d7a3f5543abadbf3041232 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-127  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15.jpg 930w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15-768x610.jpg 768w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15-705x560.jpg 705w, https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15-450x358.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" class='avia_image '  ><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image- avia-img-lazy-loading-not- avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Biografia-15.jpg\" alt='' title=''   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>The Guerrero family with Z\u00f3bel, Rueda and Torner, among others, in Torner\u2019s studio in Cuenca, 1966.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_half  avia-builder-el-129  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>During their mid-1960\u2019s stay in Spain, the Guerreros also bought a house in Nerja.

In all there were 54 canvasses, including some of those painted in the early 1940\u2019s. The selection was the work of Miguel \u00c1ngel Revilla and Miguel Rodr\u00edguez-Acosta and the catalogue contained a text by an old friend \u2013 Miguel Olmedo.

While preparing for this one-man show he travelled to Granada during the Corpus Christi festivals and met with a group of young admirers from the city to talk about his life.

Guerrero travelled to New York and from there to his daughter Lisa\u2019s house in Barcelona, where he died on December 23. Following both logic and his express desire, his family scattered his ashes under an Andalusian olive tree, in the open. After Guerrero\u2019s death, Francisco Rivas sketched the following character portrait of him in an obituary significantly entitled <em>Pink Shirt and Blue Tie<\/em>: \u201che had a frank smile, an

><p>In 1988 the Plastic Arts Committee of the Diputaci\u00f3n de Granada told Jos\u00e9 Guerrero of its interest in setting up in Granada a permanent exhibition of part of his personal collection. The Town Hall invited the artist to visit the Colegio de Ni\u00f1as Nobles, a building that was initially considered to hold the Jos\u00e9 Guerrero Centre of the Diputaci\u00f3n de Granada. During the visit both parts continued to show their mutual interest in the project, but the advanced state of the painter\u2019s illness prevented any further progress.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the Diputaci\u00f3n continued to take an interest in promoting the presence of Jos\u00e9 Guerrero in the province of Granada, as shown by the organization of an anthological exhibition of his work in the Palacio de los Condes de Gabia and the acquisition of two of his works: <em>S\u00faplica<\/em> and <em>Brecha de V\u00edznar III<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>After the artist\u2019s death in December 1991, his family finally accepted the plan and the Cultural Department of the Diputaci\u00f3n de Granada began serious work on the project in 1992. Its relevance was officially recognized when, on 14<sup>th<\/sup> May 1993, the Diputaci\u00f3n formally accepted the offer of the painter\u2019s heirs, acknowledging its enormous patrimonial value.<\/p>\n<p>Since in the meanwhile the Colegio de Ni\u00f1as Nobles had been ceded to the Euro-Arabic University, a change of building was proposed to and accepted by the family. The new site chosen was the Patria Building, that had to be rehabilitated for the purpose and had already been awarded a grant by the Ministry of Education.<\/p>\n<p>In 1995, the rehabilitation project was awarded to the architect Antonio Jim\u00e9nez Torrecillas under the supervision of Gustavo Torner and the design of the museum itself to Yolanda Romero G\u00f3mez. A committee of experts on his work (Juan Manuel Bonet, Mar\u00eda de Corral, Jos\u00e9 M\u00aa Rueda, Eduardo Quesada and Yolanda Romero) in collaboration with his heirs proceeded to make a selection of work, consisting of 40 large-format oils on canvas from different periods of his career and illustrating the main lines of his development. The collection also contains pieces on paper and the artist\u2019s personal archive, consisting of his correspondence, personal writings and varied material both published and unpublished.<\/p>\n<p>This legacy initially took the form of a fixed term deposit for ten years, on conclusion of which, in 2015, both parties agreed to maintain the aims, operation and line of work of the Jos\u00e9 Guerrero Centre by means of a new loan of use contract.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_20'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-318'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":7002,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-318","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/318"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/318\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7002"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroguerrero.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
