About the Item

Work of the Spanish artist GRAU GARRIGA.. Mixed technique and collage on paper Josep Grau-Garriga (San Cugat del Vallés, February 18, 1928 - Angers, August 29, 2011) was a Spanish artist, muralist and one of the renovators of contemporary tapestry, whose work can be found in various museums and institutions.1 2. 3 After training in painting, drawing, sculpture and engraving, in the first years of his artistic activity (1940s) he made some painting and mosaic works in his native land that remained in the hermitage of Sant Medir or in the parish church of Sant Genis. In the 1950s he joined the rug and tapestry company, Casa Aymat de Miquel Samaranch, where an artistic director arrived and he worked with artists such as Joan Miró, Josep Maria Subirachs or Antoni Tàpies. His first individual exhibition of tapestries was held at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona in 19644 and, from that moment on, he continued with multiple exhibitions in European capitals and in the United States. The Casa Aymat, in the Museo del Tapiz Contemporáneo-Casa Aymat, maintains an important part of his work, as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona. In the rest of the world, his work is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and the Rufino Tamayo Museum of International Contemporary Art in Mexico City.

Abstract Spanish Catalan Oil Painting Josep Guinovart from Joan Prats Gallery
By Josep Guinovart Bertrán
Located in Surfside, FL
Josep Guinovart (1927 –2007) was a Spanish Catalan painter most famous for his informalist or abstract expressionist work. In 1941, he began to work as a decorator. Three years later, he started his studies at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de la Llotja (Art School of La Llotja) where he stayed until 1946. He first exhibited his work in 1948 in Galerías Syla in Barcelona. In 1951, he produced his first engravings entitled 'Homage to Federico García Lorca'. Two years later, he was awarded a grant from the French Institute to study in Paris for nine months. Here he discovered the cubist works of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso and travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. On his return to Barcelona and after a period working as an illustrator and set designer, around 1957 he began moving towards abstract art. His work is highly unconventional and usually on a large scale, using a wide range of materials, three-dimensional objects and organic substances such as eggshell, earth and straw. In 1962, he illustrated a book of poetry entitled Posies by Joan Salvat-Papasseit for the Ariel Editorial. He won many accolades for his work throughout the 1970s and 80s, including Spain's National Award for Plastic Arts in 1982. In 1994, a museum foundation dedicated to his art was inaugurated in Agramunt, his mother's birthplace to which he always felt a special attachment. In 2006 he designed the winery Mas Blanch i Jové in La Pobla de Cérvoles (Lleida) and created The Artists' Vineyard, a project intended to mix sculptures and other art works from different artists in the middle of a vineyard. The Artists' Vineyard was inaugurated after his death in 2010 with the unveiling of his sculpture The Countryside Organ: a music instrument, 6 meters height, for the wind to sing the vines. This winery also displays the 10.5 meters work In Vino Veritas...
