Albert Rafols Casamada
Albert Ràfols-Casamada was born in 1923 in Barcelona. There he began pursuing a career in architecture, which left convinced that he must devote himself exclusively to art. Thanks to a scholarship, he traveled to France in 1950, where he received a big creative boost and where he learned about post-Cubist figurative painting, creating, based on this style, his early works. Painters such as Picasso, Braque and Matisse mark their influence in the work of Ràfols-Casamada and begins to create his first abstract works. In 1955 he decided to return to Barcelona. Already immersed in pure abstraction and firmly settled in Barcelona, Ràfols-Casamada created works like "Cantera" (1958), characterized by the presence of orthogonal forms and structural composition on the canvas created from a soft color yet very bright. Around this time he makes clear the great influence of painters like Rothko and Mondrian. Later in the decade of the '60s, he reaches an oversimplification, both in form and color, coming to rely only on white to create her pieces. Being instructed in American trends, adjusts the pop art and collage to his repertoire, resulting in works such as "La Emoción y la Razón" (1965). Lover of the pedagogy of art, he created in 1964, the first Spanish school of art, Elisava, running it until 1967, year in which he left this school to create another, Eina, secular and focused on the most contemporary trends of the time. In the '70s, his works are characterized by the use of horizontal and vertical planes that maximize the chromatic contrasts, whose tones are bright and sensitive. Works such as "Invernadero" (1982) are the faithful representation of this trend. Albert Ràfols-Casamada has earned throughout his career a great appreciation of his work and his contribution to Spanish art, the proof are the awards given by the Spanish Ministry of Culture (National Plastic Arts Prize in 1980), the Legion Honor of the French Government (1991) or the Visual Arts Award of Catalonia (2003). Ràfols-Casamada died in 2009 in his native Barcelona.

- "Haarlem" Aquatint Etching on PaperBy Johnny FriedlaenderLocated in Soquel, CABold abstract aquatint by Johnny Friedlaender (Polish-French, 1912-1992). Comprised of two main sections, this piece is full of detail and texture. The upper layer is a reddish tan, whereas the bottom layer is a rich brown. Geometrical shapes are arranged such that they almost form mirror images of each other, but vary enough to create interest and a sense of movement. Signed in the lower right corner. Numbered 56/350 in the lower left corner. Includes original certificate of authenticity. Presented in a new cream mat with foamcore backing. Mat size: 42"H x 32"W Paper size: 33.75"H x 24.5"W Johnny Friedlaender was a leading 20th century artist, whose works have been exhibited in Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Japan and the United States. He has been influential upon other notable artists, who were students in his Paris gallery. His preferred medium of aquatint etching is a technically difficult artistic process, of which Friedlaender has been a pioneer. Johnny Gotthard Friedlaender was born in Pless (Silesia) and his early studies were in Breslau under Otto Mueller. In 1936 Friedlaender journeyed to Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Austria, France and Belgium. At the Hague he held a successful exhibition of etchings and watercolours. He fled to Paris in 1937 as a political refugee of the Nazi regime with his young wife, who was an actress. In that year he held an exhibition of his etchings which included the works: L 'Equipe and Matieres et Formes. From 1939 to 1943 he was interned in a series of concentration camps, but survived against poor odds. After freedom in 1944 Friedlaender began a series of twelve etchings entitled Images du Malheur with Sagile as his publisher. In the same year he received a commission to illustrate four books by Freres Tharaud of the French Academy. In 1945 he performed work for several newspapers including Cavalcade and Carrefour. In the year 1947, he produced the work Reves Cosmiques, and in that same year he became a member of the Salon de Mai, which position he held until 1969. In the year 1948 he began a friendship with the painter Nicolas de Stael and held his first exhibition in Copenhagen at Galerie Birch. The following year he showed for the first time in Galerie La Hune in Paris. After living in Paris for 13 years, Friedlaender became a French citizen in 1950. Friedlaender expanded his geographic scope in 1951, and exhibited in Tokyo in a modern art show. In the same year he was a participant in the XI Trienale in Milan, Italy. By 1953 he had produced works for a one-man show at the Museum of Neuchâtel and exhibited at the Galerie Moers in Amsterdam, the II Camino Gallery in Rome, in São Paulo, Brazil and in Paris. He was a participant of the French Italian Art Conference in Turin, Italy that same year. Friedlaender accepted an international art award in 1957, becoming the recipient of the Biennial Kakamura Prize in Tokyo. In 1959 he received a teaching post awarded by UNESCO at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. By 1968, Friedlaender was travelling to Puerto Rico, New York and Washington, D.C. to hold exhibitions. That year he also purchased a home in the Burgundy region of France. 1971 was another year of diverse international travel including shows in Bern, Milan, Paris, Krefeld and again New York. In the latter city he exhibited paintings at the Far Gallery, a venue becoming well known for its patronage of important twentieth century artists. From his atelier in Paris Friedlaender instructed younger artists who themselves went on to become noteworthy, among them Arthur Luiz Piza, Brigitte Coudrain, Rene Carcan...Category
