José María López Mezquita was a fundamental author of the Spanish figurative school of the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, being a very precocious author. Through this work, drawings made from the age of 8 to 16 are presented, where he shows examples of popular architecture, some are typologies of buildings that no longer exist, representing a documentary collection of incredible historical and study value. A review of his youthful works and his relationship with the popular, as a starting point for an honesty of style that is difficult to match. Works that are a compendium of the popular construction that was part of those environments in which he began his development as a person and as a painter, as well as an interesting contrast with the evolution of his style that he reflected over time, in views of cities such as Granada, Paris, Madrid or New York.
