About the Item

Pedro Pruna Ocerans (1904-1977) - Two drawings - Ink drawing Two framed drawings, all of them signed and dated. Frame measures 23x28 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.
