Artist Info: Born on 31 October 1929: Luis Feito López, Spanish painter, active also in France and the US. — He studied at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in his native Madrid (1950–1954) and held his first one-man exhibition in 1952, at the Galería Buchholz in Madrid, showing both figurative and abstract paintings. His later work, however, was entirely abstract. In 1953 he went to Paris on a French Government grant, making it his home in 1957 after exhibiting there with great success in 1955 but still visiting Madrid frequently. Along with other Spanish practitioners of Art informel, he helped found El Paso in 1957, taking part in all the group’s activities until its dissolution in 1960. The most characteristic feature of Feito’s early work, for example Painting No. 460A (1963, 115x89cm), was his dramatic division of the chromatic field into two sections.
