Timeline

1926

Manolo Millares (17 January 1926 – 14 August 1972) was a Spanish painter.

1945

Millares, one of the most important Spanish painters of the postwar period 1945, is renowned for his Spectacular collages created using a burlap sack.

The burlap, sometimes colorless, was stretched, the pieces roughly sewn together to create tears and voids.

His vital and body painting, in dark tones, black, white and red, splashed and flowed on the surface.

1948

Self-taught as an artist, Millares was introduced to Surrealism in 1948.

1953

In 1953, he moved to Madrid and became an abstract painter.

Made for the first time in 1953, the jute fabrics are deeply rooted in the prehistory of the Canary Islands, in particular that of the natives, the Guanches.

The embalmed corpses of this pre-Hispanic people were known to him thanks to the vast exhibitions housed at the Museo Canario de Las Palmas.

Millares is associated with the informal movement, which has emphasized gestural experimentation and political engagement, and is seen as largely responsible for the revival of modern Spanish art.

He developed his own visual language inspired by the pre-Hispanic people, whose organic forms painted on the walls of the caves he reconciled with the automatism of the surrealists.

Millares therefore combined tradition and direct expression, prehistory and contemporary symbolism in an extremely individual way.

1957

In 1957, Millares along with other artists founded the avant-garde group El Paso (The Step) in Madrid.

The members of El Paso at the time of signing the manifesto and in their first exhibitions as a group were the painters Rafael Canogar, Luis Feito, Juana Francés, Manolo Millares, Manuel Rivera, Antonio Suárez, Antonio Saura and the sculptor Pablo Serrano.

After showing his work in San Pablo in 1957, Millares' work was introduced to the United States in 1958.

The 1957 Ateneo de Madrid exhibition of his jute canvases and his registration for the Venice Biennale the same year earned him international recognition and the galleries Pierre Matisse and Daniel Cordier signed agreements with him in 1959.

1959

He participated in the exhibition European Art Today: 35 Painters and Sculptors at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, in 1959, and in Before Picasso: After Miró at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (1960).

Millares' work has been included in group exhibitions in the United States throughout his life.

1960

He attained an international reputation by the early 1960s, and had a solo show at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York in 1961.

In 1960, Millares presented his first solo exhibition at the Pierre Matisse Galerie, New York.

1964

In Spain his work was represented since 1964 by the Galeriá Juana Mordó.

1970

In 1970 he produced a film about his life and work, filmed by his wife Elvireta Escobio, which showed paintings interspersed with images of war, fascism and desolate landscapes.

1971

One of the last exhibitions before his death in 1972 and with over 40 paintings and gouaches a comprehensive overview took place from September 24 to November 4, 1971 in the Gallery of Margarete Lauter in Mannheim in collaboration with Juana Mordó.

The paintings from Millares's last creative years were finally on view in his last exhibition during his lifetime from November 23, 1971 to January 9, 1972 in the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
