About the Item

GASPAR MIRÓ I LLEÓ Spanish, 1849 - 1914 JARDIN DES TUILERIES signed "gmiró" (lower right) oil on canvas 23 x 45-1/2 inches (58.5 x 115.6 cm.) framed: 26 x 49 inches (66 x 124 cm.) PROVENANCE Sotheby´s Arcade New York, Sale June 21 & 22, 2005, lot 112 Spanish Collection, Madrid Gaspar Miró i Lleó was born in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, ​​in a wealthy family. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, ​​together with professors Ramón Martín Alsina and Antonio Caba. After finishing his studies, he moved to Paris in 1886, where he remained for two years. There he had the opportunity to admire the works of the Barbizon masters, whose influence was decisive throughout his production. Impressionism was at its peak. And the city was in all its splendor. All these discoveries were decisive for the artist, who settled in 1901 definitely in the city of the Seine. His paintings focused his interest in capturing the light, the sensations and the transience of the moment, as reflected in this beautiful Avenue des Champs-Élysées, with a beautiful evening light. His characters come and go in the hustle and bustle of life. The perspective of Avenue des Champs-Élysées plastically emphasizes the transformations of the tree line, the architectural monuments and the figures at the mercy of the evolution of the lights and the colors of the instant, giving clear prominence to the movement. The color is stain and shape, explosion of light and mirror of modernity. A new painting for a city that stands as an emblem of the modern.

    By Emilio Grau Sala
    Located in Madrid, ES
    EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 BOULEVARD OF PARIS signed Grau Sala (lower right) oil on canvas 25-1/2 X 32 inches (65 X 81 cm.) framed: 36-1/4 X 42-1/2 inches (92 X 108 cm.) PROVENANCE Sale: Sotheby´s Olympia London, 20 October 2006 Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in the Parés Hall. His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents, in the years 1930-33. Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years. In this work Grau Sala has a loose, subtle brushstroke, in which the color shapes the entire work. The bright and transparent whites that give life to young schoolgirls contrast with the brushstrokes of blacks from the nun who accompanies them. The explosion of greens is refreshing, it surrounds us and transports us to an idyllic place, even if it is a citizen boulevard, which becomes friendly and beautiful. His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum, Tossa de Mar...
