Biography
The Spanish cubist painter, Joaquín Ruiz-Peinado Vallejo, known as Joaquín Peinado, was born in Ronda and died in Paris. In 1915 he joined the Higher School of Commerce in Seville, where he remained until 1918. That same year, he abandoned his business studies to join the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, where he was the student of Julio Romero de Torres and Cecilio Plá. In 1923 he traveled to Paris, where he met and became friends with Picasso and Luis Buñuel, among other members of the Spanish colony, later called the "Spanish School of Paris". He studied at the Académie Ranson, the Académie Calarossi and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, thus discovering cubist painting which would subsequently mark his work. After participating in various exhibitions, he traveled to Amsterdam in 1926 where he worked on the sets for Manuel de Falla's work El retablo de maese Pedro, which his friend Buñuel directed. In 1927 he won the painting prize from the Malaga Council and returned to Spain where he participated as an illustrator in several magazines, such as Litoral de Málaga or La Gaceta Literaria de Madrid. He participates in major group exhibitions on avant-garde painting: The Exhibition of Paintings and Sculptures by Spaniards residing in Paris in Madrid and the Regional Exhibition of Modern Art in Granada. His republican ideas led him to participate, from Paris, in propaganda tasks with the government of the Second Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War. He remained in Paris during practically the entire Second World War, and in 1946 he participated, as a delegate of the Section of Spanish painters of the School of Paris, in the international exhibition organized by Unesco and will be present, with Francisco Bores, Óscar Domínguez, Ginés Parra, José Palmeiro and Pablo Picasso, at the exhibition celebrated in the National Gallery in Prague entitled “Art of Republican Spain; Artists of the School of Paris”. After traveling and exhibiting in several American countries, he returned to Spain in 1969 where he was named a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo de Málaga. He died in Paris at the age of 76. Ronda, his hometown, had the Joaquín Peinado Museum built. Peinado's works are held in several museums around the world.
