Vicente Cutanda y Toraya (1850, Cella or Madrid - 1925, Toledo) was a Spanish painter and watercolorist. He is best known for historical scenes and social realist depictions of the lives of working people. One of his favorite places to find subjects for those works was in the Basque country of Biscay.
He was the only child of Vicente Cutanda y Jarauta , a noted botanist. Throughout most of his childhood, he suffered from a nervous disorder that affected his eyesight. He originally studied architecture, but quit to study painting at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. [1] There, he was influenced by the works of Eduardo Rosales.
When he first arrived in Toledo, he received a number of commissions for religious paintings. In 1884, he became a Professor of Drawing at the Sociedad Cooperativa de Obreros de Toledo (Co-operative Workers' Society) and was able to marry his childhood sweetheart, Luisa Salazar.
Through his long-standing friendship with the painter, Ricardo Arredondo Calmache, he was led to abandon his preference for works in the style of Rosales and turned to social realism. [1] This tendency was heightened by a stay in Italy, at the Regio Instituto delle Belle Arte de Roma, supported by a hard-won scholarship. It was fully confirmed when Rerum novarum , a Papal encyclical on the condition of the working classes, was issued in 1891.
At the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1887, he had been awarded a Third Class prize for his painting, "At the Feet of the Savior". Five years later, he was honored with a First Class prize for "A Workers' Strike in Vizcaya", his first major work in social realist style. [1]
In 1900, he was named a Professor of Drawing at the Instituto General y Técnico de Segovia. From 1903 to 1904, he was Director of the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Logroño (School of Arts and Crafts). When he returned to Toledo, he became the Professor of "Special studies of drawing and decorative composition" at the Escuela Superior de Artes Industriales.
He later became a corresponding member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes y Ciencias Históricas de Toledo . He was also active on the Monuments Commission and did restorative work. [1] During the last three decades of his life, he provided illustrations for magazines such as La Ilustración Artística and Blanco y Negro .

Generación de la Ruptura is the name given by art critic Teresa del Conde to the generation of Mexican artists against the established Mexican School of Painting, more commonly called Mexican muralism post World War II. It began with the criticisms of José Luis Cuevas in the early 1950s, followed by others who thought the established art had become dogmatic, formulaic and nationalistic and the artists too deferential to the government. This new generation of artists was not bound by a particular artistic style but was more interested in personal rather than social issues and influenced by a number of international trends in art such as Abstract expressionism. Early reaction to them was strong and negative but by the end of the 1950s, they had succeeded in having their art shown in the major venues of Mexico. The Generación de la Ruptura had influence on other arts in Mexico, such as literature but it did not end the production of murals in Mexico with social and nationalist purposes.
