José "Pepe" Puente González was a Spanish painter (1928 in Medina del Campo - 2002 in Madrid) dedicated to bullfighting and Madrids traditional environments, becoming a classic reference in Spanish bullfighting and a classic in the ABC newspaper, in which he illustrated the bullfighting chronicles since 1981 inheriting those that Marín and the master Casero once made. Before that, he had collaborated in the disappeared magazine El Ruedo, where he managed to publish his first cover in 1948.
His name is among the most outstanding artists and poster artists of the 20th century such as Roberto Domingo, Llopis or Reus. His painting reached, through national and international exhibitions, all corners of the planet of the bulls.
Friend of important figures of the bullfighting world such as Vicente Zabala de la Serna, parrita, Pepe Dominguín, Julio Robles, Juan and Ángel Luis Bienvenida, among others, with whom he debated bulls with passion.
He inherited interest in the national holiday from his father, Julián Puente Balsa, who enrolled his son in the School of Fine Arts and Crafts at the age of 12 to perfect the high quality of his bullfighting drawing.
This same interest that José Puente father lived from his father seems to have been transferred to his son José Puente Jerez, already a leading figure in Spanish bullfighting scouting mixing classicism and avant-garde
