Girl Portrait

Additional Information

Born and raised in Spain, José Arpa y Perea traveled and studied throughout Europe and Africa, where his brush encountered an array of subjects. His artwork hit American soil before he did in 1893 at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Arpa arrived on the continent not long after, where he explored Mexico, Arizona and, famously, Texas. It was in the Lone Star State where he met Robert and Julian Onderdonk, among others, and fell in love with the Texas landscape and its people. He settled in the San Antonio area and was the director of the San Antonio Art School.
