Manuel Capdevila Massana Art
Spanish, 1910-2006
Manuel Capdevila i Massana (Barcelona, December 28, 1910 - April 18, 2006) was a Catalan painter and goldsmith, son of the goldsmith Joaquín Capdevila y Meya and father of the also goldsmith, Joaquim Capdevila y Gaya.
In 1950 he was invited to The 1950 Pittsburgh International contest at the Carnegie Institute, Pennsylvania, where he presented the painting The Priest, which is currently part of the MNAC collection. A year later the Museum of Modern Art in Panama acquired the work Crisantemos.
He was part of the Morera Prize Jury in 1953. Two years later he signed the manifesto that Alexandre Cirici drafted, creating the Institute of Industrial Design, as a member of the IDIB Management Board of Directors.
At the request of Lluís Maria Güell, director of the Massana School, he assumed the creation of the Open Jewelery Classroom in 1959, from where he made students think and reflect on the new possibilities of contemporary jewelry. He establishes contacts with the Kunst Werkschule in Pforzheim, a pioneering school in the sixties for new artistic jewelry. It fosters cultural exchanges between the two pedagogy centers and in 1962 it promotes the Kunst Werkschule jewelery exhibition in Pforzheim from the Massana School.
In 1961 he was invited to participate in the International Exhibition Modern Jewelery, 1890 to 1961, organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London together with the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, held at Goldsmiths'Halls in the same city.
In 1966 he organized in Barcelona, together with Alexandre Cirici Pellicer, Antoni de Moragas and Cesáreo Rodríguez-Aguilera, the exhibition One Hundred Years of Catalan Jewelery, held at the College of Architects of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
This same year he created the Lletra d'Or Award, currently in force. It also creates the Medal of the Spanish Association of Art Critics in order to reward the work of artists. Realizes the medals awarded to Picasso, Miró, Chillida, Ortega Muñoz and Subirachs among others.
However in 1967 in Munich he participates in the Internationalen Handwerkmesse in the exhibition Form und Qualität. The Barcelona Jewelers Circle offers a silver tabernacle for the chapel of the Santísimo of the Montserrat Monastery that is integrated into the altar of the sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs, designed and made by Capdevila and in which his sons, Joaquín and Elisenda participated.to

Artist Bio:
Christine Walters Martin (1895-1982)
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Christine Martin majored in art at Columbia University/Teachers College. She spent summers painting at the Woodstock Art Colony under the tutelage of artists there and continued her art studies at the Art Student's League in New York City. Over the years, her teachers included John Sloan, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Alexander Brook and John McFee. She also studied with Eugene Speicher, who recommended her for Portraits Inc, through which some of his own commissions came. Much later in life, in her 80s, Christine studied watercolor with Zoltan Szabo.
Before marrying attorney George Martin in 1923, she taught art in the New York public schools for several years. During summers in the late 1920s, after having two daughters (Cynthia, 1924-2008, and Joan, 1927-2000), she went to Woodstock with her girls in tow, staying at the Hasbrook farm. In 1930, she and her husband purchased a stone house on Ohayo Mountain Road and lived there seasonally for 25 years. Among her closest artist friends in Woodstock were Emil Ganso, Florence Hardiman, Albert Heckman, Peggy Dodds, Joe Rollo, Henry Mattson, Mary Ellen Early, and Maud and Miska Petersham, along with Juliana Force (Whitney Museum). During many summers in Woodstock, Christine's daughters Cynthia and Joan kept up their serious piano studies under the tutelage of Vladimir Padwa and Inez Carroll.
Known for portraits and landscapes, she was a member of the National Association of Women Artists and the National Arts Club, Gramercy Park, NY. Her work showed at the National Arts Club, Weyhe and Preston Galleries and the National Academy of Design in New York; the Pennsylvania Academy in Philadelphia; the Woodstock Art Association and Rudolf Galleries in Woodstock, Vermont's Dawson Grist Mill Gallery, and South Hampton College, among others. Her portraits, landscapes and still lives hang in hundreds of homes around the world.
