Jose Ramon - Quinta feria Internacional del campo

Social themes in art began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions throughout European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso. José Ramon also followed this trend with a poster for a fair that took on an almost political connotation.

José Ramon's artistic production seeks to combine the concreteness and realism of folk-like figures with a mechanomorphic reconstruction of sensible reality. The figures are synthesized through a process of analytical decomposition and reconstruction typical of Cubism. The artist seeks to possess the entire structure of the subjects, considering all possible developments in time and space. Therefore, their forms unfold in a space that is no longer univocal, founded on a single perspectival center, but multidimensional, structured by the overlapping and incidence of planes. The synthesis achieved through Cubist decomposition strongly abstracts these figures, which, combined with their already folk-like character, gives them an expressive force of archaic charm.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, the artist Josè Ramon shows a predisposition for a social art that he displays through a synthetic and expressionist style that finds several affinities with Cubism.
