Description: Bilbao: Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao, 2013. 27cm., pbk., 268pp., 194 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Spanish text. Summary: Organized to mark the centenary of the death of the leading Spanish Impressionist, Darío de Regoyos (1857-1913); The Impressionist Adventure is a major retrospective, featuring more than 130 works, among which are oil paintings, pastels, watercolours, drawings and engravings. Together, they give a profound insight into the media Regoyos preferred, his major themes and artistic development. The exhibition also includes original documents that highlight some largely unknown facets of his personality, his professional contacts and his biography in general. Collectively, the landscapes of Regoyos provide us with one of the most innovative episodes in Spanish art of the time, particularly through his highly original use of colour and daring portrayals of atmospheric phenomena and effects of the light. In counterpoint are the etchings and oils showing the most sombre of Spanish cultural traditions, which led Regoyos to the aesthetic of what he called España negra (literally, Black Spain). His friendships and contacts with Belgian and French painters, musicians and writers, and his active role in avant-garde art circles (first in the L’Essor group and later in Les XX) made Regoyos the most international of Spanish painters in the late 19th century. Originally from Asturias, on the north coast of Spain, Darío de Regoyos (Ribadesella, Asturias, 1857–Barcelona, 1913) also had lifelong artistic and family links with the Basque Country, playing a vital role in modernizing Basque painting at the turn of the century.
