The seven works by Fernando Zóbel (b. Manila, 1924 - d. Rome, 1984), assembled for this exhibition are characteristic evocations of nature and a clear reflection of the meticulous, cerebral and delicate approach that lay behind the artist's unique personal technique. Zóbel was an artist who embodied the relationship between three continents: Asia, with his native island of the Philippines; North America, with the United States, where he trained and embarked upon his artistic career; and Europe, with Spain, where he settled permanently in 1961, as well as Italy and England, where he became established after taking part in the Venice Biennale and exhibiting at the Tate Gallery in 1962.
