About the Item

Pedro Pruna Ocerans (1904-1977) - Four drawings - Ink drawing Four framed drawings, ane of them signed and dated. Frame measures 26x29 cm. Pere Pruna Ocerans (Barcelona, ​​1904-1977) was a Catalan figurative painter and illustrator. In 1920, at just 17 years old and with hardly any academic training, he traveled to Paris. Sebastián Sunyer provided her with a letter to introduce herself to Pablo Picasso, who was back to order in his classicist period, a style that Pruna would adopt from then on. Under Picasso's protection, he very soon entered the intellectual and artistic circles of the Parisian avant-garde. In 1924 he exhibited with Apel·les Fenosa at the Percier gallery, prefacing the Max Jacob catalogue. This stage was perhaps the most stimulating of his career and for it he is included in the so-called "School of Paris", having enjoyed esteem in the French capital thanks to his delicate painting, which connects very directly with the Picasso of the stage. neoclassical. He was also a set designer and costume designer for Sergei Diagilev's Ballets Russes and in 1928 he won the 2nd prize from the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. Although Pere Pruna was the author of paintings such as Allegory of the Republic, at the outbreak of the Spanish civil war, the sight of the burning of churches and convents, without any respect for the works of art that were destroyed indiscriminately, led him to enlist in the army. Francoist. Until then he had exhibited successfully in Chicago, New York, Amsterdam, among other places. In 1936 and 1938 he did so at the Venice Biennale. After the war, back in Barcelona, ​​he perpetuated his placid and refined style from the Sala Parés in Barcelona. He made wall paintings and other large-format paintings with religious themes, remaining faithful to his style, although, at the same time as he made delicate nudes, he made experimental works with collages and introducing other elements; others disassociating the colors of the background with the figure sgraffito on top. Perhaps his most original contribution is the use of virgin wax to make carnations (but without following the usual encaustic technique). Pruna's figuration is characterized by its stylized and diaphanous line, and is in tune with the return to order after the rupture that the avant-garde represented. This makes it possible to compare his art with European currents of the time, such as the Italian "plastic values" (Cabeza de escayola y tulipán, 1929). Pruna's interest focused on portraiture and especially on the female figure, in the form of nudes and mythologically inspired scenes. A clear example of this last facet is his series of illustrations from 1946 for an edition of the book Amor y Psique, a fifteenth-century adaptation of a story by Apuleius. Pruna also painted some still lifes.

Paris modernist scene mixed media drawimg
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Joan Cardona Lladós (1877-1957) - Modernist Paris scene - Mixed media (charcoal and white wax). Drawing measurements 40x29 cm. Frame measurements 66x54 cm. He was born in Barcelona on June 30, 1877, he was registered with the name of Juan Bautista José Pedro. His parents Josep Cardona i Farré (Sant Salvador, 1852-Barcelona, ​​?) and Maria Lladós i Vidal (Isona, 1855-Barcelona, ​​1935) came from Sant Salvador de Toló and Isona, respectively, two towns very close to Tremp, in the Pallars Jussà region, close to the Lleida Pyrenees. The Cardona Lladós family was of humble origins, linked to the rural and peasant world. José Cardona and María Lladós married around 1876, when they were twenty-five and twenty-one years old respectively. The couple decided to improve their precarious situation by moving to live in Barcelona. In 1877 Joan Cardona was born in the family home, at 62 Mediana de San Pedro Street, in the Ribera neighborhood of Barcelona and very close to the Rec Comtal. Joan Cardona was the firstborn of three brothers. When he was six years old, his sister Consuelo was born (1883) and later his younger sister, María (1888), was born. Josep Cardona i Farré was a day laborer and lived at least until the birth of his third daughter, María, in 1888. Her death, for reasons unknown to us, would occur shortly after. After the death of Josep Cardona, León Farré i Duró (Isona, 1867-Barcelona, ​​1932) became part of the family nucleus with his mother María Lladós, who took care of the child Cardona and his sisters Consuelo and María. Farré learned to play the guitar and was the most extraordinary disciple of the composer and guitarist Francesc Tàrrega i Eixea (Vila-real, 1852-Barcelona, ​​1909). Joan Cardona had in her stepfather the man who instilled in her a special musical and artistic sensitivity. The young Cardona took classes at the Academia Baixas, inaugurated in 1892 by the painter Joan Baixas i Carreter and installed on Carrer del Pi, a private center where a good batch of leading Catalan Modernisme artists were trained. Cardona married Clemencia Parade Cazabat at the beginning of the century. Daughter of Carles Parade and Amara Cazabat, she was born in 1870 in Bagnères de Bigorre...

Duchándome Nude, Series. Set of 4 Watercolors on archival paper.
By Celso José Castro Daza
Located in Miami Beach, FL
Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, and others are sketches of moments he documents. Throughout his artistic career, Castro has exalted the figure and genitality of the Latin American man, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestionable patriarchal and phallocentric order. The majority of those portrayed are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos about corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on numerous occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo...
