About the Artist:
Carlos Alonso-Pérez (1881 - 1914) was born into a family of artists in Saragossa, a city with a rich historical and cultural background. Influenced by his surroundings, which included the legacy of artists like Francisco Goya, Alonso-Pérez embarked on a creative journey characterized by light-hearted genre scenes and a blend of historical and contemporary elements.
Having received artistic instruction from his father, Mariano, who was also a painter, Alonso-Pérez developed a style that often featured flirtatious encounters and scenes of daily life. His compositions, inspired by the rococo revival and the influence of painters like Mariano Fortuny, exude a sense of playfulness and satirical wit. He successfully experimented with blending eighteenth-century fashion with late nineteenth-century settings, creating a unique visual language that resonated with his audience.
The allure of Paris drew Alonso-Pérez, leading to his participation in the Paris Salon in 1901. His paintings often depicted lively gatherings, interactions, and flirtations, echoing Impressionist approaches to color and light. The artist's keen observation and experimentation with style and subject matter set him apart, and his works found appreciation among collectors and audiences, both in Europe and beyond.
Alonso-Pérez's artistic endeavors extended beyond painting, encompassing tapestry designs and print publications, which further showcased his versatile creativity. His print work, published in journals like Wilhelm Spemann's Vom Fels zum Meer, catered to a middle-class audience who enjoyed scenes of romance, rendezvous, and leisure.
Unfortunately, Alonso-Pérez's life was cut short, and he passed away in 1914 at the age of 33. Despite his relatively brief artistic career, his contributions to the art world left a lasting impact, with his works continuing to enchant viewers with their captivating narratives and vibrant compositions.
