José Bello
José Bello Lasierra (called Pepín Bello ; born May 13, 1904 in Huesca , Aragon , † January 11, 2008 in Madrid ) was a Spanish intellectual .
Bello, son of the engineer Severino Bello Poëysuan, grew up around his parents' friends Joaquín Costa , Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Francisco Giner de los Ríos . At the age of eleven he was able to enroll in the Madrid artist grant “ Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid ”, where he met Salvador Dalí , Luis Buñuel , Federico García Lorca and Rafael Alberti . He was considered the last survivor of the " Generación del 27 ".
Bello, who had studied medicine, was first and foremost an intellectual who greatly influenced his creative contemporaries. He did not publish much himself and painted some pictures, which is why he was seen as an “artist without works”. He was best known as an organizer of art events. During the Franco regime, among other things, he was part of the management of the hydropower plant in the province of Huesca , ran a tannery in Burgos and a drive- in cinema in Madrid. None of the deals were ultimately successful.
