Artist biography:
Carlos Nadal was born in Paris on 24 April 1917. His parents, both of Spanish origin, lived on Rue des Ecoles near Boulevard Saint Michel in the Latin Quarter, a neighbourhood home to intellectuals, students, and artists. From an early age, Nadal was exposed to the work of Maurice Utrillo, Raoul Dufy and Henri Matisse, all of whom became important influences for the artist throughout his career.
Following the family’s return to Barcelona in the 1920’s, Nadal began work as an apprentice at his father’s decorative paint shop. This experience provided him with a practical artistic foundation, and in 1936, Nadal was awarded a scholarship from the Barcelona City Council to study fine arts at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Jorge (currently known as the Facultad de Bellas Artes).
At the time, Spain was a country of unrest, with the Spanish Civil War lasting from 1936 to 1939. After fighting alongside the Republicans on the fronts in Aragon and Tremp, Nadal was taken prisoner. He spent several months at Saint Cyprien concentration camp, escaping only temporarily before he was arrested again. After his release, Nadal returned to Barcelona and remarkably, he was able to return to his fine arts studies.
In 1946, Nadal fulfilled his dream of returning to Paris, after the General Consul of Spain in France issued him a certificate of nationality. Nadal moved into the Spanish College at Boulevard Jourdan 9 in Paris and began his studies in the atelier of Ossip Zadkine. It was here that Nadal met his wife-to-be, Belgian art student Flore Augusta Zoe Joris. Although his academic training took place mainly in Barcelona, it was during his time in France and Belgium that he developed his Fauvist essence.
In 1949, Nadal was offered a US scholarship by the Carnegie Foundation but instead chose to marry Flore, by now a sculptor, moving with her to Brussels. Here, he signed a contract with art dealer Louis Manteau and met the legendary surrealists Paul Delvaux and René Magritte.
Louis Manteau allowed Nadal to use his house on the Cote d'Azur near Villauris, and there Nadal painted many of his Mediterranean works. It was also here that Manteau introduced Nadal to Picasso and the two Spaniards became good friends, sometimes visiting Matisse, who was by now unwell. While his early style mainly reflected was scenes in Spain or Belgium, as he began to travel more extensively, his work often featured modes of transport and leisure scenes.
During the late 1950’s, Nadal received two major commissions; one in 1957 to decorate the Belgian Pavilion at the World Fair in Switzerland and another in 1958 to paint a large continuous mural for the Belgian Congo Transport Company at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels.
By the 1960’s, Nadal was in great demand for exhibitions in Europe, and he had enough money to build his own studio and summer house near Barcelona. After several shows in the provinces, the Harrogate International Festival invited Nadal to hold a retrospective in 1984. An exhibition followed in 1987 at the Solomon Gallery, in London.
Carlos Nadal died on 6 June 1998, at the age of 81.

Carlos Nadal
Carlos Nadal was born in Paris in 1917. Within four years, his family moved to Barcelona.
Nadal’s father owned a commercial design workshop. There he began to work as an apprentice and learned to paint in his early teens. He took art classes at a school on Barcelona’s Calle Caspe. In 1935 Nadal won three awards, including an award from the Watercolors Association of Barcelona, the Mural Composition Count Lavern and the Masriera prize. A year later, Nadal received a scholarship from the Barcelona City Council and because of which he was able to attend the Escola Superior de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi.
Nadal exhibited for the first time in a collective exhibition at the Galeries Dalmau in 1941, and he had his first solo exhibition at La Pinacoteca in Barcelona in 1944. In 1946 the Barcelona City Council again granted him a scholarship to continue his education in Paris at École des Beaux-Arts. In the French capital, he took part in the Autumn Salons.
In 1948 Nadal married the Belgian sculptor Flore Joris and moved to live in Belgium. Here, he stated that he discovered the effects of light on painting and the use of color that would already be a distinctive sign of his work. The influence of Fauvism on Nadal’s paintings was remarkably clear. There was continuous success for the artist in Belgium and he remained very active, exhibiting there as well as in France, Spain, Amsterdam and the United States. His subjects were varied and included beaches, urban landscapes, natural landscapes, seascapes and more.
In 1954 Nadal exhibited with great success at Kunstverein Düsseldorf and at the Royal Academy in London, and won the painting prize at the International SPA Contest. During the same year, he met Pablo Picasso on the Côte d'Azur and began a great friendship with the artist. Nadal’s work can be found in the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, the Royal Museum of Brussels and more.
