The Spanish painter José Beulas has spent a lifetime recording the landscape of Aragon in north-east Spain. His is an arid world of wintry skies and baked earth where the paint seems encrusted on to the canvas, yet the works display a warm affection that can only come from familiarity with a place. In the 1990s he donated many of his own works and his collection of 20th century Spanish art to the province, but the government had nowhere to display it. Finally he donated his own property on the outskirts of Huesca, set up the Beulas Foundation in 1999 and approached Madrid architect Rafael Moneo to design the foundation's home.
