**************************************************************************
Spanish artist José Galvan settled in Paris in 1962 and from this tim
his life became connected with Montmartre for ever. In last tw
centuries shrine of art Montmartre lodged a lot of artists fro
different countries, those who flew their own countries and sough
safety or those who sought romance and colleagues leading world'
artists. From the nineteen century Paris dictated not only fashion, bu
also movements of art. Origin of modernism also can not be disembodie
from France.

But modern art did not touch the most sensitive soul of artist Jos
Galvan. Art impressionism cast a glamour the artist, and he chose thi
mean of artistic expression. As like Masaccio was born with temperamen
of Giotto in next century as artist José Galvan was born wit
temperament of Renoir. Looking at his pictures we feel how strong wer
his feelings to his native country Spain, its harbors, its songs
dancers and showgirls, to Paris and Parisians. Only being i
Montmartre, walking on the ground that was stepped by his favorit
artists was for him supreme happiness. This happiness made him go
dizzy, because this happiness was too large for a human being. Thi
happiness was a reason of his long enough life. It seems inspiratio
never leaves him. In some aspects creative work of José Galvan can b
related with sentimentalism of Spanish artist Murillo and wit
tenderness of young Goya. Yes, art of José Galvan is sweet, sweet t
inconceivable degree, but this sweetness is so true, poetic, sublim
and excused that the author can not be objurgated in any case.

We can compare Galvan's copy of Renoir LES JEUNES FILLES AU PIANO wit
original for the seeing their differences that are the difference
between French impressionism and its variation by Galvan. Galvan i
more monumental, broad brushed. If Renoir concerns more about details
Galvan about the whole of picture. José Galvan paints mixing paints o
palette. Galvan's contrasts of values are less, lights warmer an
softer, motions of figures also softer and more natural, lines pla
greater role. Galvan is a master of wavy vibrating line. Especially i
is seen in drawing below TROIS ETUDES DE NUS. Galvan more spiritual. H
converts prose of Renoir into poetry. Thus we may conclude tha
painting of José Galvan is particular mixture of French impressionis
and Spanish classical art. If Renoir went toword modernity, José Galva
tried to seek eternal valuables.
