Studying briefly under André Lhote and Ferdinand Leger, Stefan Von Reiswitz settled in
Pedregalejo, in 1957. His leanings towards Cubism and his involvement in Grupo Picasso132
influenced Campbell. Von Reiswitz also became friendly with Armstrong following his
visits to Malaga in the 1960s and 1970s. ‘Two Irish Friends’ represents Armstrong and
Campbell. Forming ‘El Pesebre’ graphic studios in 1969, Reiswitz invited Campbell, Robert
MacDonald and Jorge Lindell to participate in group shows at ‘El Pesebre’ in 1974, Osma
Gallery, Madrid, in 1974, and with ‘Grafica International’ in March and December of 1975.
