Salvador De Regil Art

Mexican, 1914-1968

Salvador de Regil was represented by the famous Julien Levy Gallery in NYC and 1941 had a solo exhibit. When Julien Levy died in 1981 the gallery archives were donated to the Art Institute of Chicago. During World War II, de Regil worked in Texas painting glass eyes for blinded soldiers. After the war, he settled in the Bay Area, where he painted and taught. De Regil designed the popular restaurant and watering hole Tiburon Tommies, which was a favorite of all the artists of the area. He was also associated with The Art League of California (no longer in existence) and at least one catalog has his photo. He participated in their professional continuing education series. There are also records of him in the Museum of Modern Art Department of Painting and Sculpture. He moved to Laguna Beach in the early 1960s. In 1968, he died and was buried in Lake Forest, California. He was married twice and has one daughter. Information provided by Wendy Weigman.

The Petrified Origin oil on canvas painting Antoni Pitxot
By Antoni Pitxot
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: The Petrified Origin Artist: Antoni Pitxot i Soler (1934–2015) Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 25.6 x 31.9 in (65 x 81 cm) Date: 1967 Condition: Unframed Signature: Signed lower right: Pitxot Provenance: Private collection Notes: Early work from Pitxot’s mature period, featuring the symbolic and meticulously rendered stone forms that would define his artistic identity. 📝 Work Description In The Petrified Origin, Antoni Pitxot presents a haunting and timeless vision of a single, eroded rock suspended in a dreamlike, undefined space. The stone, modeled with sculptural precision, appears to float over a subtly reflective surface, devoid of background or narrative context. Its porous texture, cracks, and shadows evoke a fossilized memory — a silent relic of geological time. Painted in 1967, this piece exemplifies Pitxot's unique visual language, developed through his practice of collecting stones along the Costa Brava and transforming them into anthropomorphic and symbolic compositions. The result is both surreal and solemn, an ode to nature’s memory and the enduring presence of the inanimate. 👤 About the Artist Antoni Pitxot i Soler (born in Figueres, 1934 – died in Barcelona, 2015) was a Catalan painter deeply rooted in the surrealist tradition. Coming from an artistic family —his uncle was Ramon Pichot, a friend of Picasso and Dalí— Pitxot trained as a draughtsman and painter from a young age. In the 1960s, he settled in Cadaqués, where he developed his distinct artistic universe. His paintings revolve around stone as a symbol of permanence, transformation, and memory. Pitxot created sculptural assemblages from real coastal stones and later immortalized them in oil on canvas. His works often hint at human figures, ancient myths, and allegories of time. 🎭 Connection with Salvador Dalí Pitxot was not only a close friend of Salvador Dalí but also one of his closest collaborators. Dalí admired his work and invited him to co-design the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres. After Dalí’s death...
