About the Item

JOAQUÍN PALLARÉS ALLUSTANTE Spanish, 1853 - 1935 PORTE SAINT - DENIS signed "J. Pallares" (lower left) oil on canvas 10-1/2 x 15-3/4 inches (26.5 x 40 cm.) framed: 18-3/4 x 24-1/4 inches (47.5 x 61.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collection, Madrid Joaquín Pallarés Allustante (Zaragoza, March 5, 1853 - Zaragoza, May 17, 1935) was a Spanish painter. He trained initially in the Fine Arts Schools of Zaragoza and Madrid, then in Paris and, by the years of 1881, in Rome. On his return he was appointed, in 1886, professor of «Drawing of the Old» of the School of Fine Arts of Zaragoza and curator of the Museum of Antiquities, charges he resigned in 1897 to move to Paris, apparently hired by the dealer Goupil, for those who had to make an abundant pictorial production that will provide healthy income. By 1906 he returned to Spain, initially settling in Barcelona and later, in his old age, he will reside in Zaragoza. Pallarés' painting covers almost all genres; from the portrait and mural compositions of a religious or decorative nature - as in the large canvas attached to the cruising vault of the church of Santa Engracia, or in one of the panels of the Main Theater of Zaragoza -, to the landscape and, mostly, genre scenes of eighteenth-century setting, in small-format paintings, following the tableautin fashion, in full success in Europe during the last quarter of the 19th century. Precisely with these themes and technique, the art and style of Pallarés are defined, which will end up in the last years of his life with economic success and an evident demonstration of virtuosity. The keys that explain his permanent dedication to this type of painting are in his initial apprenticeship in Madrid next to Vicente Palmaroli, a connoisseur and cultivator of the Fortuny style, in the subsequent connection to the dealer Goupil, main promoter of the works of Fortuny, and in the same artistic environment that Pallarés lived opportunely during his stays in Paris and Rome. It can be affirmed that it has been among the Aragonese painters the most qualified representative of «fortunyism» as a pictorial style, whose main quality resides in the bright color that Pallarés applies with tiny and delicate brushstrokes. Maturity work of Joaquín Pallarés, from his second stay in Paris in full artistic and commercial success. Executed with a bright color that Pallarés applies with tiny and delicate brushstrokes. It has a magnificent composition, since despite being a not too large picture, it has a great perspective on all the monuments and buildings that form this famous Paris square. From the source there are several diagonals that make up the painting, where figures pass through; a mother and her little daughter, the florist with her flower car, walking couples, etc. And horse cars in the future and daily hustle and bustle of urban life, giving clear prominence to the movement.

(lower right) oil on canvas 19-3/4 x 25-1/2 inches (50 x 64.5 cm.) framed: 27-3/4 x 33-3/8 inches (70 x 84.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collector, Madrid An elegant night view of the Parisian Republic Square, with amazing light effects that catch us. This work executed based on brushstrokes of long and safe strokes that make the forms vibrate with vivid color. Parisian nightlife is trapped in this corner of Paris. The monumental sculpture that symbolizes freedom and that presides over the square serves as a reference behind the tram between a light chiaroscuro. Meanwhile, the effervecent and lively life of the cafes that surround it vibrate strongly with its bright lights. Èdouard León Cortés (1882–1969) was a French post-impressionist artist of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting" because of his diverse Paris cityscapes in a variety of weather and night settings. Cortes was born on August 6, 1882, in Lagny-sur-Marne, about twenty miles east of Paris. His father, Antonio Cortés, had been a painter for the Spanish Royal...

"Boulevard of Paris", 20th Century oil on canvas by Spanish artist E. Grau Sala
By Emilio Grau Sala
Located in Madrid, ES
EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 BOULEVARD OF PARIS signed Grau Sala (lower right) oil on canvas 25-1/2 X 32 inches (65 X 81 cm.) framed: 36-1/4 X 42-1/2 inches (92 X 108 cm.) PROVENANCE Sale: Sotheby´s Olympia London, 20 October 2006 Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in the Parés Hall. His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents, in the years 1930-33. Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years. In this work Grau Sala has a loose, subtle brushstroke, in which the color shapes the entire work. The bright and transparent whites that give life to young schoolgirls contrast with the brushstrokes of blacks from the nun who accompanies them. The explosion of greens is refreshing, it surrounds us and transports us to an idyllic place, even if it is a citizen boulevard, which becomes friendly and beautiful. His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum, Tossa de Mar...
