HIS MASTER'S VOICE: EL PERRO QUE BUSCABA A SU DUEÑO EN EL GRAMÓFONO

Nipper, un pequeño perro perdiguero inglés escucha ensimismado la voz que sale con fuerza de un viejo fonógrafo. Parece que desde el otro lado de ese extraño aparato cilíndrico le habla su amo, que había fallecido tiempo atrás.  El animal no quiere apartarse del lugar de donde procede la voz de quien durante años lo cuidó con cariño desmedido.  La idea de que su dueño puede regresar lo hace mantenerse completamente estático mientras las palabras vuelan por el aire de la habitación.


Esta tierna historia, que corrobora la vieja idea de que el perro es el mejor amigo del hombre es real y tiene otro personaje más, el pintor inglés Francis Barraud, que con sus pinceles compuso la imagen de la mascota de su difunto hermano Mark escuchando las grabaciones de voz que éste había realizado con el fonógrafo.

Barraud consideró que la imagen de Nipper prácticamente introduciendo la cabeza en el fonógrafo en busca de su dueño podría ser un buen reclamo publicitario e intentó vender la obra a varias empresas. A finales de 1899  la Gramophone Company adquirió los derechos del cuadro con la condición de que cambiara el fonógrafo original por un gramófono como los fabricados por la empresa.

En América, la Victor Talking Machine Company adquirió los derechos de la obra y comenzó a utilizarla como imagen corporativa. Pronto, y gracias a una intensa campaña de marketing, la pintura de Nipper junto al gramófono fue popularizándose en todo el Mundo y pasó a ser conocida como His Master’s voice. Finalmente, los derechos de la obra fueron dividiéndose entre varias empresas musicales. Hoy, el nombre HMV (siglas de His Master’s Voice) es utilizado por una gran cadena de tiendas de música que opera en varios países.


Francis Barraud era hijo y sobrino de pintores con cierto renombre en Inglaterra y se había formado en buenas escuelas de arte británicas. Sin embargo, el cuadro de Nipper lo convirtió en uno de esos artistas que tan sólo son recordados por uno de sus trabajos. De hecho al final de su vida pasó a ser un esclavo de su célebre pintura y para ganar dinero tuvo que hacer decenas de reproducciones de Nipper escuchando la voz de su amo a través del gramófono. Para conocer algo más sobre su obra se puede visitar esta pequeña galería.

    El inicio de la carrera de la pintura suele marcar el resto de la trayectoria artística, en el caso del pintor español Gabino Amaya Cacho su pasión por la pintura lo llevo a hacer grandes obras como Las Tres Gracias y La Tempestad , ambas clasificadas como obras manieristas de alta calidad, Sin embargo este clase de obras quedaron en el pasado, en el tiempo en el que se hizo merecedor de premios como lo son el Accésit Asociación Barrio de Salamanca en 1995 y el Premio Villa de Leganés en Madrid, así como de hacerse ganador de los Primeros Premios de Pintura de la Fundación Caldeiro entre 1970 y 1975.
