In our hand, the original raised drawing of the House of the Rojos in “A Fistful of Dollars” by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood, and shot under the original title of “Ray the Magnificent.”
With the great Jose Luis Galicia, loved and admired, preparing the conference about his career as a production designer, art director, decorator, costume designer and decorator. By the way, that in "A Fistful of Dollars" had the courage to stop filming, removing the doors and windows of the decor, for non-payment of the producers.
Jose Luis Galicia, probably the last living friend of Pablo Ruiz Picasso, is also a prestigious painter who has exhibited in important museums and galleries in New York, Paris or London, with numerous paintings currently in the National Museum Queen Sofia, and author of the paintings of the ceilings of the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid.
Galicia appears accredited as a decorator/art director in one hundred and ninety-seven films, plus those he made as a builder with Jaime Perez Cubero. From "The Revenge of the Fox" to "The Young Picasso", going through "Varietes", "Condemned to Live", "The French Orchard", "The Man of Rio Malo" or "The Crimes of Morgue Street". He is responsible, together with Cubero, for the construction and decoration of the first stable western town in Spain, the one of Hoyo de Manzanares, as well as the ranch of "The Falcon and the Dam" in La Pedriza.
In the Dehesa of Navalvillar de Colmenar Viejo, the Cubero-Galicia tandem built and decorated the great Confederate Fort for "Before Death Comes", and several ranches, the one of "Seven guns for the McGregor", the one of "The Mark of Cain", or the one of "Oilers", of which you can still see the large brick fireplace, currently last remains of the decorations.
