Fermín Arango

Fermín Arango Barcia (April 9, 1874 – October 5, 1962) was a Spanish-Argentine painter. He produced over sixty works in his career, which were predominantly landscapes. His work has been described as part of Impressionism and Symbolism, and was influenced by French painting.

Biography Born in the Asturian town of Santa Eulalia de Oscos, Arango emigrated to Buenos Aires with his family when he was very young. There he completed his artistic training at the Association for the Promotion of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires. He had his first exhibition there in 1904 at the Witcomb Gallery, where he displayed paintings including El embarcadero del lago, La trancera y puerto Hauret, Nocturno, Idilio, Femme, La toillete, and Paisaje del Sena. During this time, he worked as an illustrator for La Nación and Caras y Caretas (Argentina).

Later in life, he retreated from most of his artistic activities and retired to his house in Ham, near Paris. He died there on October 5, 1962. Gallery
