Museo Cruz Herrera

Museo Cruz Herrera, Art museum in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain.

Museo Cruz Herrera occupies Villa San José, a former town hall in La Línea de la Concepción, reopened as a museum on 15 January 2016 after a renovation costing over one million euros. Its four rooms follow the painter's career: "First epoch", "Andalusian", "Arab" and "Anthology", with 110 works shown from 257 held in storage.

José Cruz Herrera died in 1972; his children completed his idea for a museum, adding works they owned to the first collection. It opened on 6 April 1975 in the Casa de la Cultura on Plaza de Fariñas. In January 2016 it moved to Villa San José, a former town hall renovated for over one million euros.

Cruz Herrera painted Andalusian women with dark hair and eyes and thick, very red lips, a type he repeated across many portraits. The rooms also hold still lifes, nudes, landscapes and self-portraits, plus canvases from his years in French Morocco, where he took up the light, colour and subjects of the Arab world. In 1921 he showed forty paintings at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, opened in the presence of the Infanta Isabel de Borbón.

The museum occupies Villa San José, the former town hall, renovated for its reopening on 15 January 2016 at a cost of over one million euros. The 110 works on display are arranged across four rooms following the painter's career, from his first period to the Andalusian, Arab and anthology sections. The building stands in the centre of La Línea de la Concepción, Cruz Herrera's birthplace.

The museum opened in 1975 in the Casa de la Cultura on Plaza de Fariñas, after Cruz Herrera's death in 1972, when his children completed the project and added works they owned to the first collection. Since 15 January 2016 it occupies Villa San José, a former town hall renovated for over a million euros.
