    Hello, I found a set of 6 charcoal bullfight drawings; pictures are of 3 of the 6 custom framed drawings. They are signed by "J. Ortuño". I was told they are likely Spanish, are likely production pieces for Bullfight Posters from the 1940s-1960s potentially (as they have some small areas of white-out on certain sections of the drawings- difficult to see in the pictures). I have searched for hours on bullfight poster artist from Spain, Mexico & Argentina, for each decade 1920 through 1970- I am unable to find anything related to this artist. Has anyone heard of this artist? Are my searches correct or are there any other searches to try? Thanks for any info you can provide!

      Check if this is the same signature.

      Hi mp.kunst- I came across that same page in my research also. The signature is different- the "J" in the charcoal drawings runs through the "O" . Also the style of artwork looked significantly different to me at least. Thanks for the lead but I think there is a need to continue the search!
