About the artist: Jerry Opper was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 5, 1924. He moved to Los Angeles with his family in 1933. After graduating from Hollywood High School, he worked in movie studios and attended art classes at Chouinard Art Institute. In May 1942, Opper was drafted into the army and was then able to study at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center while his outfit was stationed in Colorado. Later he was sent to Guam and was discharged in December 1945. Opper returned to Chouinard and his work in movie studios until 1947, when he moved to San Francisco. He enrolled as a full-time student at the California School of Fine Arts (now SFAI) and received his diploma in June of 1950. In 1948, Opper met his wife Gertrud Ruth Friedmann, daughter of artist Gustav Friedmann, whose works are also in the Lost Art Salon collection. It was love at first sight and a few weeks after their first encounter at the Black Cat in San Francisco's North Beach, they got married and enjoyed a passionate, life-long romance. Shortly after he finished school, Opper worked briefly as a decorator’s assistant and then started his career as a commercial artist, working for several firms such as Fibreboard, Beatrix Food and Precision. Working full-time and dedicating himself to having a rich family life occupied most of Opper's time, but he continued to be creative. He was above all a family man with the pride of having raised two exceptional daughters, Erika and Jody. Year after year, Opper would painstakingly craft their Halloween costumes...

Spanish Flamenco Dancer Guitarist Scene Pastel Drawing Mid Century Barcelona Artist: Alfredo Opisso Cardona (1907–1980) Title: Jota Medium: Pastel on paper Date: circa 1965 Signature: Signed lower right Condition: Very good condition Frame: Framed Dimensions (artwork): 46 × 36 cm (18.12 × 14.18 in) Dimensions (frame): 65 × 55 cm (25.6 × 21.65 in) DESCRIPTION Elegant mid-century pastel composition depicting a traditional Spanish dance scene with guitarist and dancer in stylized folkloric costume, executed circa 1965 by Barcelona artist Alfredo Opisso Cardona. The work combines refined draftsmanship with soft chromatic transitions characteristic of the Opisso family’s contribution to twentieth-century Catalan figurative drawing. The balanced interaction between gesture and costume detail creates a lyrical interpretation of Spanish musical culture aligned with the decorative figurative tradition developed in Barcelona during the mid-century period. Its intimate scale and original frame make the piece especially suitable for collectors of Mediterranean figurative drawing and refined European interior compositions. ARTIST BIO Alfredo Opisso Cardona (Barcelona, 1907–1980) belonged to the well-known Opisso family of Catalan artists and developed a career centered on figurative drawing, illustration and pastel compositions inspired by everyday life and Spanish cultural themes. His work continues the Barcelona draftsmanship tradition associated with early twentieth-century modern Catalan illustration and refined social scene painting. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / INSPIRATION This composition reflects the Barcelona figurative drawing tradition developed around the legacy of Ricard Opisso and the broader Catalan illustration movement connected to early twentieth-century modernisme and noucentisme culture. The theatrical gesture and costume treatment resonate with Spanish dance imagery explored by artists such as Ignacio Zuloaga and Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa, while the refined pastel handling connects with European salon drawing traditions associated with artists working between illustration, costume studies and decorative figurative composition across the School of Paris environment. Spanish dancer painting...
