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.
