BIOGRAFIA DE JOSEP NAVARRO VIVES Pintor español de Barcelona perteneciente a la generación de los 50. Estudió en la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Barcelona a mediados de la década de los años 40. Más tarde completará su formación académica en París y Londres, hecho que le proporcionó el contacto con los movimientos de vanguardia de posguerra. Trabajó dentro del informalismo matérico, exploró en el campo de la abstracción geométrica y el cinetismo formando parte del Grupo de Trabajo MENTE. Años más tarde volvió al mundo de la figuración. Durante los últimos, la creación de Josep Navarro continúa gravitando entre la abstracción y la figuración. Nace en Francia, en Castelsarrasin (1931), una localidad situada en el Tarn-et-Garonne, muy cerca de Moissac y Montauban donde pasa los primeros años de su infancia hasta que se traslada, con parte de su familia, a Barcelona donde al poco tiempo estallará la Guerra Civil Española. En Barcelona se matriculó a los 14 años en la Escuela de Artes y Oficios. Pronto entra como aprendiz en una casa de imágenes religiosas, conocida como Casa Reixac, donde aprende el oficio de restauración, la técnica de la policromía, y sobre todo el arte de dorar. En ese entorno conocerá a Lluis M. Saumells Panadés y Ramón Sabi. En 1952 ingresa en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi de Barcelona. Durante el segundo curso, conoce al pintor Joan Serra, con quien descubrirá el Ampurdán y la Costa Brava. Gana el primer premio en la Exposición de pinturas universitarias y obtiene una beca que le ayuda a seguir estudiando, y participar en exposiciones colectivas en Barcelona y Madrid. Su estancia en Madrid le permitirá visitar con frecuencia el Museo del Prado, estudiando a los grandes maestros como Velázquez, Zurbarán, El Greco, Tiziano, etc. En 1957, obtiene una beca para completar su formación en París, asistiendo a los cursos de l’École des Beaux Arts y de l’Accadémie de la Grande Chaumière. En la capital francesa entra en contacto con un panorama artístico e intelectual distinto, que le abre las puertas a nuevas ideas. Durante su estancia en París recibe el encargo de la restauración de algunas de las salas del Elysée, trabajo muy reconocido por lo que es felicitado personalmente por el Presidente Monsieur Cothy. Más tarde realizará otra importante restauración: la de la oficina del Ministro de la Marina y finalmente el palco presidencial del Palais Garnier. Terminada su estancia en París, obtiene una nueva beca para ir a Londres donde se matricula en el Sant Martin’s School of Art (Londres). En Londres empieza a participar en algunas exposiciones colectivas e individuales y además obtiene el primer premio en la competición de carteles publicitarios del Ferrocarril Británico. En estos años de viajes entre París y Londres, Josep Navarro comienza a investigar dentro del informalismo matérico, corriente artística dominante en la Europa de mediados de siglo. En 1963, Josep Navarro regresa a Barcelona y entra en contacto con la Escuela de Barcelona, con Tàpies al frente. En esta época, Josep Navarro inicia su etapa informalista. Esta exploración matérica en la obra de Josep Navarro marcará la década de 1959 a 1969. El trabajo con texturas y materia va consolidando un lenguaje propio que desembocará en la inclusión de algunos elementos figurativos que marcarán el inicio del período marcado por la serie “Puertas”. La serie “Puertas”, es un trabajo basado en las puertas de Barcelona. En esta serie Josep Navarro establece una recuperación de la forma basada en la materia. Utiliza pigmentos naturales, mezclándolos entre sí para lograr el efecto del hierro, y de la madera. Estas puertas serán el elemento de transición entre su etapa informalista y su evolución hacia la abstracción geométrica. En 1970 se incorpora a los campos de trabajo del grupo MENTE (Muestra Española de Nuevas Tendencias Estéticas) impulsado principalmente por Daniel Giralt-Miracle y Joan Mas...
