Catalogue of Paintings by Ignacio Zuloaga Exhibited by the Hispanic Society of America, March 21 to April 11, 1909

This catalogue was originally compiled to accompany the first major solo exhibition of Spanish painter Ignacio Zuloaga in the United States, hosted by the Hispanic Society of America in New York in 1909. Archer M. Huntington, the founder of the Society, was a devoted admirer of Zuloaga’s work and played a central role in introducing the artist’s dramatic, moody depictions of Spanish life to an American audience, positioning him as a leading figure of the Generation of '98.

The 2018 edition published by Franklin Classics serves as a scholarly reproduction of these historical exhibition records. The original documents provided a detailed inventory and contextual framing for Zuloaga’s canvases, which were celebrated for their dark, visceral realism and romanticized austerity. By preserving the typography and structure of the initial catalogue, this modern reprint offers researchers and art historians a window into the institutional efforts to elevate Spanish realism in the early twentieth-century American art market.
