Rafael Durancamps i Folguera (Sabadell, 1891 - Barcelona, January 4, 1979) was a Spanish painter.
He learned the trade under the orders of Joan Vila Cinca and the influence of Joaquín Mir, with whom he had a friendship since he was young. He visited various museums to imbue himself with the technique of the great masters such as Velázquez or El Greco. In the early years his work shows a colorism where the influences of his teachers are noticeable. During those years he signs the works as R.Durán i Camps.
He exhibited for the first time in 1915 at the Sabadell Academy of Fine Arts, as part of a collective exhibition. His first notable exhibition was two years later, at the Galerias Laietanas. In 1926 he went to live in Paris, where he created his own style, emphasizing still lifes and landscapes. During his stay in Paris he opened an art gallery, known as "La Fenêtre Ouverte". Artists such as Dalí, Cézanne, André Derain, Raoul Dufy, Joan Miró and Picasso exhibited their work in this room. Thanks to the gallery, Durancamps came into contact with Parisian high society.
Back, albeit temporarily, in Sabadell, he was commissioned to paint some murals for the open-air museum of the Spanish Village in Barcelona, on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of 1929. From 1932 he exhibited annually in the Sala Parés, although he maintained his residence usual in Paris until the end of 1939, at which time he returned to Spain at the start of the Second World War. He settled in Barcelona, but lived for periods in Sitges and Cadaqués, among other Catalan towns, and exhibited in Barcelona and Madrid, where he frequently visited the Prado Museum. It was in Madrid where he gave the conference "Lacras de la Pintura Actual", of which a reference book was published at the time, and where he was very critical of avant-garde art and all the isms that dubbed 20th-century art. . His work can be seen in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, as well as other museums and collections in various countries.

Graner, 1925" (lower right) Oil on canvas 20-1/8 X 30 inches (51X 76 cm.) framed: 25-3/4 X 35-3/4 inches (65 X 90.5 cm.) PROVENANCE NEAL AUCTION COMPANY, New Orleans, LA, USA Private Collection, Barcelona Graner paints this work, Moonlit on the river, during his stay in the United States in the last stage of his artistic life, from 1910 to 1928, in full stage of maturity. This artwork reflects the constant search of the artist for the effects of light in his work. This persistent concern for light remains throughout his artistic life, which he learned in his Parisian stage under the influence of the painter Frances Platour. The silver light of the moon and the small lights at distance, which are tiny foci of artificial light, reflecting the river water, forming a chromatic range of greens, ocher and pearly that give a certain mystery to the composition, creating a modern approach to the landscape, by placing the two large trees at the edge of the river in the foreground Luís Graner y Arrufí, Spanish (1863–1929) was a Catalan painter in the Realistic style. He was born in Barcelona, and studied at the Escola de la Llotja from 1883, with Antoni Caba (color/composition) and Benet Mercadé (drawing). During his final year at school, he received a grant to study in Madrid, where he copied and learned from the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado. After that, supported by a fellowship, he moved to Paris and became a member of the Academie des Beaux-Arts. Later, he returned to Barcelona, but continued to travel to cities throughout Europe, including Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf. Influenced by Richard Wagner's concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art), he was motivated to create his own total art experience and organized the "Sala Mercè" (Mercy Hall) in Barcelona's Rambla District. The project involved contributors from every artistic discipline, including the new field of cinematography. The room was decorated by Antoni Gaudí. Other participants included Adrià Gual, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas...Category
