Alice Seymour Hooker Day Jackson (1872-1926), New York, acquired in 1909 at the New York exhibition. Private collection, Massachusetts. Private collection, US. LITERATURE The extraordinary color harmony that Joaquín Sorolla was able to capture in the water in the present work is representative of his understanding of color. The intermingled cobalt, teal, and azure of the water is brilliantly contrasted against both the vibrant warm hued rocks in the foreground and the pinkish tones of the steamer ships’ hulls and the distant Cabo de San Antonio, capturing the vibrance and depth of the composition with an astonishing economy of brushwork. The present work was exhibited by Sorolla in his 1909 exhibition at The Hispanic Society of America in New York, where it was bought by Alice Seymour Hooker Day Jackson, a grandniece of the antislavery novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe and granddaughter of the suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker. We are grateful to Blanca Pons-Sorolla for confirming the authenticity of this work, which is registered as no. BPS 3627 in the third volume of her forthcoming Joaquín Sorolla catalogue raisonné.

Located in Madrid, ES
EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 PLAGE DE TROUVILLE signed Grau Sala (lower left) signed again, located & dated "Grau Sala, Trouville, 1953" on the reverse oil on canvas 15 X 24 inches (38 X 61 cm.) framed: 24-1/2 X 33-3/4 inches (62.5 X 85.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private French Collection 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. Grau Sala lived and absorbed all the avant-garde movements that broke through in Paris, but never adhered to any. Creating your personal style. His pictorial lyricism and naturalism superimposed the evotative and sensitive quality of the image to any other concern. In 1953 Grau Sala spends his first summer in Honfleur becoming one of the most active Honflerian painters. Honfleur forms a coast triangle next to Deauville and Trouville, and in that August of 53, Grau Sala pinto is an elegant beach, which at that time met French and European high society. 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...
