Fauvist Female Nude in Mediterranean Interior, Spanish Modernist Figurative Painting Description Artist: Jordi Curós Ventura (Spanish, 1930–2017) Title: Seated Woman in an Interior Date: Circa 1980 Medium: Acrylic on canvas-covered cardboard. Dimensions: 55 × 46 cm / 21.65 × 18.11 in Signature: Signed by the artist, lower right Style: Fauvism, Modernism, Expressionist Figurative Art Period: Late 20th Century Condition: Good vintage condition Framed: No Original figurative painting by renowned Catalan artist Jordi Curós Ventura, depicting an elegant, partially nude woman seated in a colorful Mediterranean interior. The composition captures a moment of intimacy and quiet contemplation. The female figure, dressed in a loosely draped striped garment, sits beside a table adorned with flowers and a glass of red wine. Her crossed legs, relaxed posture and delicate facial features create an atmosphere of effortless sensuality. Curós combines expressive black outlines, simplified anatomical forms and a vibrant palette of burnt orange, turquoise blue, golden yellow and warm terracotta. The patterned tablecloth, floral arrangement and architectural background contribute to the painting's lively decorative character. Particularly appealing is the contrast between the figure's pale skin and the richly saturated surrounding colors, creating a composition that feels both intimate and visually striking. Born in Olot, Catalonia, Jordi Curós became an important representative of postwar Spanish painting. He studied at the Olot School of Arts and Crafts and developed an international exhibition career, participating in major artistic events including the Hispano-American Biennials. His work evolved from early figuration through abstraction and Informalism before returning to a distinctive figurative language characterized by expressive drawing, Mediterranean light and confident color. Curós exhibited extensively in Barcelona, including at the prestigious Sala Parés, and received scholarships to study in Paris, where he encountered the artistic developments of European modernism. This original painting offers collectors an engaging example of late 20th-century Spanish modernist art, particularly attractive to admirers of colorful figurative compositions, female portraiture and Mediterranean interiors. Artistic Inspiration The painting reflects the expressive freedom of French Fauvism and the decorative sensibility of European modernism. Its bold chromatic contrasts, simplified female figure and intimate domestic setting evoke the artistic atmosphere associated with Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and the wider tradition of modern Mediterranean painting. The relationship between the seated woman, patterned textiles, flowers and architectural surroundings recalls the decorative interiors of Matisse, while the spontaneous brushwork and rhythmic black contours reinforce Curós's individual pictorial identity. The composition balances feminine sensuality with expressive color, transforming an everyday interior into a celebration of Mediterranean light and modern figurative painting.

His artistic training originated both in the Cecilio Pla painting academy, where he met Pancho Cossío, Manuel Ángeles Ortiz or Joaquín Peinado, and in the literary gatherings in Madrid related to ultraism. At this time he made engravings and woodcuts for a large number of magazines such as Horizonte, Cruz y Raya, Index, Revista de Occidente. In 1922 he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. In 1925 he participated in the first exhibition of the Iberian Artists Society. The limited success of this exhibition pushes him to go to Paris. In this city he shared a studio with the Spanish painter Pancho Cossío and also met Picasso and Juan Gris. In 1927 he held his first solo exhibition in Paris. From this moment on, Bores integrates himself into the Parisian artistic environment where he will live practically his entire life. In 1928, his first exhibition in a gallery in the United States, in 1930 he exhibited again, within a group exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the following years, he continued exhibiting in different galleries in Paris, such as the Georges Petit Gallery, the Bernheim Gallery and the Vavin Raspail Gallery. He also participates in several group exhibitions, highlighting the Exhibition of Contemporary Spanish Art...

A bold and expressive harbor scene rendered in a vibrant Fauvist-inspired palette, featuring a gondola-like boat floating on luminous reflective waters beneath an explosive abstract sky. The composition merges figuration and abstraction through energetic brushwork, saturated color contrasts, and dynamic gestural forms. Intense blues, crimson reds, yellows, pinks, and deep blacks create a dramatic visual rhythm while emphasizing the emotional atmosphere over literal representation. Reflections across the water animate the lower half of the composition, balancing the powerful abstract forms above. Influenced by Fauvism, German Expressionism, and postwar gestural painting, the work recalls the expressive freedom of artists such as André Derain, Raoul Dufy, and early abstract expressionist colorists. The painting’s vivid chromatic intensity and strong decorative quality make it particularly striking in contemporary interiors. A compelling modernist harbor composition combining lyrical abstraction, expressionist color, and Mediterranean atmosphere. fauvist painting, expressionist harbor scene, gondola painting...

Original Fauvist French Riviera Beach Scene Mediterranean Seascape Painting Artist: Unknown Period: Circa 2000 Medium: Acrylic on laid paper mounted on board Dimensions: 35 × 25 cm / 13.78 × 9.84 in Framing: Unframed Signature: Unsigned Style: Fauvist / Modern / Mediterranean Subject: French beach, Mediterranean seascape, sailing boats and figures Condition: Good vintage condition, with minor age-related wear consistent with the period. DESCRIPTION Original French Fauvist-inspired Mediterranean beach scene, circa 2000, depicting a lively coastal resort viewed from an elevated terrace. The composition opens onto an intensely blue sea animated by sailing boats, while small figures, parasols, beach cabins and a French flag populate the shoreline below. Café tables and chairs in the foreground introduce the atmosphere of a classic French seaside promenade. The painting is particularly appealing for its vivid palette, simplified forms and spontaneous treatment of space. Brilliant turquoise and cobalt blues contrast with warm ochre, coral and terracotta tones, creating the joyful visual rhythm associated with French Mediterranean modernism. Stylistically, the work recalls the celebrated coastal imagery of Raoul Dufy and Jean Dufy, particularly their views of beaches, regattas, promenades and fashionable seaside resorts. Its bright chromatic contrasts and playful Mediterranean atmosphere also invite comparison with the work of Carlos Nadal, whose paintings transformed beaches, cafés, harbours and leisure scenes into exuberant celebrations of color. Rather than pursuing strict realism, the anonymous artist uses flattened perspective, expressive brushwork and deliberately simplified figures to capture the sensation and energy of a summer day on the French coast. The elevated viewpoint is especially effective, allowing the eye to travel from the café terrace through the busy beach and finally toward the deep blue horizon and sailing boats. A highly decorative original work that would fit naturally within a collection of French Fauvist painting, Mediterranean Modernism, French Riviera art, coastal paintings, nautical art or colorful European modern paintings. Unframed. ARTISTIC INSPIRATION The composition belongs to the long tradition of modern artists fascinated by the Mediterranean coast and the French Riviera. Its brilliant blues, recreational seaside subject and deliberately simplified drawing evoke the visual world developed by Raoul Dufy and Jean Dufy, while the saturated palette and animated holiday atmosphere relate closely to the Mediterranean paintings of Carlos Nadal. These references are stylistic and contextual only; the painting is presented as an anonymous original work. French Riviera painting...

Emilio Grau Sala (1911–1975) Deauville Sunset, 1972 Oil on canvas 60 × 73 cm (23.62 × 28.74 in) Frame: 73 × 86 cm (28.74 × 33.86 in) A luminous and atmospheric coastal scene painted in 1972 during the artist’s mature Paris period. This refined Normandy composition captures the delicate light of Deauville at sunset. Subtle tonal transitions, elegant brushwork and shimmering reflections across wet sand create a serene yet sophisticated atmosphere characteristic of Grau Sala’s late style. After settling in Paris in 1936, Grau Sala became associated with the School of Paris, developing a distinctive figurative language influenced by Impressionism and Fauvism while maintaining his own balance of harmony and chromatic restraint. His French coastal works from this mature period are among the most sought-after examples of his oeuvre. Signed and dated. Frame included. Excellent overall condition. A refined mid-20th-century School of Paris coastal painting, ideal for collectors and elevated interior environments. Son of cartoonist Juan Grau Miró, he was born in Barcelona in 1911. Although he attended the School of Fine Arts, his training is considered largely self-taught. His first exhibition takes place in 1930, at the "Badriñas Gallery" in the same city. At the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936), Grau Sala left Spain with his wife, also a painter Ángeles Santos...
