José Hernández (5 January 1944 – 20 November 2013) was a Spanish painter and plastic artist.
Born in Tangier, Morocco, in 1944, he made his first exhibition in Tanger "Librairie des Colonnes" (1962).
Emilio Sanz [es] commented: "During these spooky visits in phantasmagoric environments, I was accompanied by the very young painter José Hernández from Tangier, who was daydreaming at the age of 17 and drew angry cats."
His illustrations and engravings of works by James Joyce and Arthur Rimbaud, Federico García Lorca, Franz Kafka, Ernesto Sabato, Juan Rulfo, Luis Buñuel, José Miguel Ullán, Juan de Jaúregui and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer[2] are well known.
[3] Friend of Carlos Saura, he appeared with his colleagues Pablo Runyan and Luís Buñuel in Weeping for a Bandit, playing the boy.
