"I was born in the United States, but without a doubt, my work - it's the influence of my trips to Europe.
In Rome, I was particularly impressed with the traditional marble sculpture, Mikelangelo, Dontatello and Bernini.
I was sure that eventually I will work with the stone. However, over the next few years, I was drawn to the warmth and unpredictability of the tree.
I was fascinated, and my choice was made. I hope you enjoy. "

I have been painting for over 30 years and still enjoy every moment. I was born in Murwillumbah, South Wales, Australia, and spent his youth between Brunswick and Chillingham in the beautiful valley of the Tweed. He graduated from the University with a bit of knowledge about the history and economy. Painting fascinated me about the same time as I started working, and it was more challenging and useful way forward. Next was a trip around the world ......... the world looks great! The years flew ..... and now published several books on art, my work is known in the USA, UK, Asia, I hope that you like my happy picture. - Robert Hagan

Pink bird in the haze of dawn in the sky clouds bloom bouquets
Sun leaves yellow coach ... Gives a golden summer holiday joy.

It's early in the morning,
sun whispering with clouds;
speaking, what happened to him over the edge of the earth.
And sassy sky
covered with blue flowers -
boundless, inconceivable,
affirms life latitude.
Wind wings stroking the grass,
sticks to the body space.
Going down to the feet of blooming fields.
On the porch of gold,
paradise apple trees vast kingdom.
poured honey
flavors of sunny days.

After World War I, Jose de Togores returned to Paris and very close contact with Picasso, Braque, Soutune, Pascin, Modigliani, and Max Jacob, signed a contract with the art dealer Daniel Kahnweiler until 1931. This will be his period of symbolism and experimental painting. Under the leadership of Kahnweiler artist is a huge success. He began to exhibit his paintings in several European cities, and pays special attention to the naked women with a poetic charm in painting.

In 1939 he returned to Spain, a great authority in painting, still continuing to work. During the Second World War, many works have disappeared, some into the hands of dealers and collectors, which led to a drop in popularity of the artist, and had personal crises that affected a variety of styles in the works. After his final return to Barcelona, Togores exhibits sala Pares. In recent years, exhibitions have been held with the support of Antonia Berchthold and the artist's widow, to help revive its place in the art that the artist held in European painting in the twenties. A car accident put an end to the life of Jose de Togores, it was June 17, 1970.
