Obituary from El Pais.com: The painter and university professor Agustin
Úbeda manchego-Levers Moreno-Romero
died Tuesday November 27 in Madrid, at age
82. Agustin Úbeda was a surrealist
dream heavily loaded, which can be seen within
the so-called Spanish school of Paris, one
that spanned the second and third generations
after the exile after the Civil War. Great
knowledge of art history and a man of broad
culture, Úbeda created a personal
symbology was an expression of lyricism,
irony and tears, always with a mysterious
aura.
Born in Inheritance (Ciudad Real) in 1925,
trained at the School of Fine Arts of San
Fernando, where he studied Diaz Vázquez,
Eugenio Hermoso and Joaquin Valverde, and
graduated from the School of Paris with a
scholarship from the French Institute and
Juan March Foundation. During his years living
in Paris, participated in major exhibitions
that were held in Spain, while collectors
from around the world were buying their works.

Academy
of Doctors, throughout his long
artistic
career he received awards including
the Young
French Painting in 1957, or the
