Expressionist Neofigurative Portrait Oil Painting Catalan Taüll Group School Artist: Jaume Muxart Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 61 × 50 cm (24 × 19.7 in) Signature: Signed lower right Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good condition. Stable paint surface with original impasto visible Origin: Spain Period: Mid-20th century DESCRIPTION Expressive neofigurative portrait by Catalan painter Jaume Muxart, a founding member of the influential Taüll Group and a key figure in the renewal of Spanish postwar painting. The composition presents a frontal stylized head structured through bold chromatic contrasts and gestural brushwork. A strong vertical axis divides the face into two emotional registers, creating psychological intensity while reinforcing the structural rhythm of the composition. The interaction between white tonal fields and passages of cobalt blue, magenta and grey reveals the material sensitivity characteristic of Muxart’s mature neofigurative language. The textured surface preserves the physical presence of the brushstroke and reinforces the expressive tension of the figure. Portraits of this type represent one of the most recognizable directions within the artist’s production and reflect the broader evolution of European postwar figurative expression. This work belongs to the Catalan postwar neofigurative movement associated with artists such as Antoni Tàpies, Modest Cuixart and Josep Guinovart, with whom Muxart shared the experimental environment of the Taüll Group. Its expressive treatment of the human figure also connects with the wider European postwar tradition developed by Jean Dubuffet and Karel Appel, where gesture and material structure replace descriptive realism. Jaume Muxart (Martorell, 1922 – Barcelona, 2019) was a Catalan painter and founding member of the Taüll Group, alongside Antoni Tàpies, Modest Cuixart and Josep Guinovart, one of the most influential collectives in the renewal of Spanish postwar painting. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and later worked in Paris during the formative years of his career. He represented Spain at the São Paulo Biennial and developed an important international exhibition trajectory. Muxart also served as professor and dean at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona and remains recognized as a key figure within Catalan neofigurative painting of the twentieth century.

Wai Ming is a Chinese Asian Modern & Contemporary painter who was born in 1938. In this colorful abstract painting, women are huddled in a circle gambling and betting. Wai Ming's love for art flourished and he developed his drawing techniques without any art education, just painting what he saw. In the 1960s, Ming found representation in Hong Kong and also took the unusual step of opening his own gallery to display his work. His primary interest was to capture images of life in fishing villages, or 'fish-folk', who have retained traditional Chinese culture, his work was at home with the sensibilities of many art buyers in Hong Kong, and so was able to find some initial success. Crossing the ocean in his mid-30s, Wai Ming arrived in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974. There, he experienced initial resistance from galleries and the official art world for a variety of reasons but was ultimately embraced by dealer Jack Swanson...
