"Barca," Javier Barcáiztegui, is a brilliant draftsman and caricaturist, steeped in the tradition of costumbrismo. With an analogical talent, he believes that the inner portrait of his characters, "their psychology," always precedes the stroke of his pencil.
A contributor to numerous publications—Sábado Gráfico, ABC, Época, Trofeo—he is primarily known for his illustrations for the books and articles of his great friend Alfonso Ussía.
A lover of the countryside and hunting, he manages to capture, with great wit and a great deal of humor, funny moments in his hunting and country drawings. In 2014, he was awarded the Mingote Prize, a master of whom he is a great admirer. This book features a wide selection of drawings he made throughout his life. It is, in short, a fun book that will undoubtedly bring a smile to anyone who picks it up.
