Federico Tormo Monzó. Dibujo a tinta. 17x24 cm. "Valencia 1- Sabadell 0". Firmado mano. 22-09-1946. Buen estado. Fútbol. Excelente dibujante y caricaturista valenciano. Federico Tormo Monzó nació en Pinoso el 15 de abril de 1890 y falleció en Valencia el 12 de septiembre de 1971. Se trasladó de su patria chica a Valencia a la edad de 17 años, y allí fijó su residencia, teniendo como maestro a D. Ricardo Verde. Aunque ya en el año 1927 obtiene el primer premio de carteles anunciadores de la Feria de Julio, consiguiendo así mismo otros premios en Granada, sus primeros pasos en la ciudad del Turia fueron como dibujante en la sección deportiva del diario “Las Provincias”, entre los años 1931 y 1935, con series dedicadas a caricaturas de futbolistas y boxeadores de renombre, directivos de los clubes valencianos, periodistas, practicantes de otros deportes de moda, como las carreras de galgos. Destacaba por su destreza con el lápiz al tomar sus apuntes en los acontecimientos deportivos, que aparecieron publicados periódicamente. en ocasiones firmó sus dibujos con el seudónimo “Motor”, que aparece en algunas de sus caricaturas. Pero no solo cultivó el tema deportivo, ya que destacó también por sus dibujos relacionados con el arte taurino, caricaturizando a toreros de la talla de Marcial Lalanda, Félix Rodríguez, Vicente Barrera o Domingo Ortega. Personajes de la cultura valenciana, como músicos y literatos, también fueron retratados por Tormo Monzó con su particular trazo. Tras la Guerra Civil, el artista siguió dibujando, pero alternando el arte de la caricatura con el de la pintura, captando el paisaje de las ciudades en las que estuvo, como Granada, Bilbao y Zaragoza, además de Valencia. Destacan las innumerables exposiciones individuales que realizó a lo largo de su vida, tanto en la ciudad del Turia como en otros puntos del país, y tiene diversos cuadros repartidos por el extranjero, obrando uno de ellos en la colección particular de Winston Churchill. La línea del pintor es seguida por su único alumno, José Agustí García, que conoció su obra y compartió su estudio durante más de 25 años.

    Federico Tormo Monzó. Ink drawing. Levante 1- Cartagena 0. 1949. Football. Hand-signed. 17x23 cm. Excellent Valencian draftsman and caricaturist. Federico Tormo Monzó was born in Pinoso on April 15, 1890, and died in Valencia on September 12, 1971. He moved from his hometown to Valencia at the age of 17, where he settled and studied under Ricardo Verde. Although he had already won first prize for posters advertising the July Fair in 1927, and also received other awards in Granada, his first steps in Valencia were as an illustrator for the sports section of the newspaper "Las Provincias" between 1931 and 1935. His series of caricatures featured renowned footballers and boxers, directors of Valencian clubs, journalists, and practitioners of other fashionable sports, such as greyhound racing. He stood out for his skill with the pencil when sketching sporting events, which were published regularly. He sometimes signed his drawings with the pseudonym "Motor," which appears in some of his caricatures. But he didn't limit himself to sports; he also excelled at drawings related to bullfighting, caricaturing bullfighters of the stature of Marcial Lalanda, Félix Rodríguez, Vicente Barrera, and Domingo Ortega. Figures from Valencian culture, such as musicians and writers, were also portrayed by Tormo Monzó in his distinctive style. After the Civil War, the artist continued drawing, alternating between caricature and painting, capturing the landscapes of the cities he visited, such as Granada, Bilbao, and Zaragoza, in addition to Valencia. He held numerous solo exhibitions throughout his life, both in Valencia and elsewhere in Spain, and several of his paintings are held abroad, including one in Winston Churchill's private collection. The painter's style was followed by his only student, José Agustí García, who knew his Artwork and shared his studio for over 25 years.
