About the Item

Josep María Morató Aragonés (1923-2006) - Portrait of a young woman - Oil on canvas Oil measurements 61x46 cm. Frameless. Morató Aragonés, Josep María. Reus (Tarragona), 21.V.1923 – Barcelona, ​​5.V.2006. Painter. He was thirteen years old when he had his first contact with the world of art. It was through Ignasi Mallol and Joan Rebull, who came to Cornudella (a town near Reus) with their students in their practical activities that they carried out at the Taller-Escola d'Art de Tarragona. From that meeting he began to paint self-taught. Later he had the opportunity to come into contact with the painter Ivo Pasqual and to learn from him. It was he who advised him to enroll in the School of Fine Arts. The decision to go to Barcelona was reinforced by obtaining the Fortuny Medal of Reus in 1940, in its second edition, for his work Calle de las Eras. He was just beginning his path as a painter and already had a significant award. That same year he had his first exhibition in Reus. The following year he enrolled at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts. The first exhibitions he held, all of them in Reus, had landscape as their theme, and were very well received by local critics. In 1944 he won the Tapiró Medal from the Provincial Council of Tarragona for his painting Landscape. He obtained a travel grant from the R. Amigó-Cuyás Foundation, which allowed him to travel around Spain and, most importantly, visit the Prado Museum, a visit that he took advantage of to make copies of Velázquez and Titian. He had to do his military service, they sent him to Seville, time that he took advantage of to go paint in Ceuta and Tetouan. In 1948 he held his first exhibition in Barcelona at the Pictòria Gallery. It was the beginning of a long career full of individual and group exhibitions and numerous awards. His work, in which the landscape stands out, is characterized by its careful execution, focused on a rigorous composition and an elaborate treatment of color. His other theme was women. His works are well crafted, but they do not have the character of his landscapes; rather, some have a certain mannerism.
