What do you call the picture?

The first picture is called «El locutorio siglo XX", which translates as "Salon of the 20 th century." Name the second I did not find, but most likely it is "The Temptation of St. Anthony". Generally, a network of information about the artist not many. Born in 1922 (Seville), died in 1977. The most expensive of his work was sold for 17.000 EUR in 2006.
