Description

LLUÍS CLARAMUNT (Barcelona, 1951 - Zarautz, Gipuzkoa, 2000) Untitled. Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left area. Measurements: 100 x 84 cm; 101 x 85 cm (frame). Painter, draftsman, photographer and engraver of self-taught formation, Lluís Claramunt spent his life between Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Bilbao and Marrakesh, and developed a work influenced by Isidre Nonell and marked by an expressionism in its beginnings, which will gradually disappear until transforming into a minimal calligraphy. Since the seventies he held solo exhibitions in prominent galleries such as Dau al Set in Barcelona, Quatre Gats in Palma de Mallorca, Juana de Aizpuru in Seville or Buades in Madrid, and also participated in Arco (1984, 1988). He also had solo exhibitions in New York, Amsterdam, Graz (Austria) and Lisbon. Likewise, in 2012 his work was shown in the solo exhibition "El viatge vertical", held at the MACBA in Barcelona. He is currently represented in that museum, the Fundació Vila Casas, the La Caixa Collection, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Álava, the Asociación Colección de Arte Contemporáneo de Madrid, the Consejo Superior de Deportes and the Ministerio de Cultura in the same city and the Colección Caja Madrid. Recently Claramunt has exhibited at the prestigious gallery Marc Domenech in Barcelona, who dedicated his exhibition "Luis Claramunt. Años 80" entirely to the artist's work. The exhibition, held in May 2016, featured more than seventy works that demonstrated the artist's predilection for urban spaces, represented through a totally expressionistic palette in which a dynamic and vibrant palette predominates.

RIGALT, GRANELL i CIA. Pair of modernist stained glass windows, ca. 1920. One of them signed. Measurements: 161 x 50 cm. each one. Pair of stained glass windows made in the prestigious Barcelona workshop founded by Antonio Rigalt and the Granell family. The aesthetics and quality of the fin-de-siglo stained glass can be appreciated in the work of the leaded glass, in the thickness and vivid colors of the crystals, as well as in the attractive forms in which they are combined, all the product of a laborious artisan process. The stained glass workshop, formed by members of the Rigalt and Granell families of Barcelona, was in operation from 1890 to 1984. Its precedents are found in the draftsman and glazier Antoni Rigalt i Blanch (1850-1914), raised in an artistic environment, since he was the nephew of the painter and draftsman Lluís Rigalt i Farriols (1814-1894). He trained as a draughtsman at the Llotja school in Barcelona, teaching drawing until 1901. His move to glassmaker did not follow the traditional pattern starting as an apprentice in a workshop, but he did it after his artistic and theoretical training. Related to the most important artists and architects of the time, he was a regular collaborator in the works of the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. From the Rigalt and Granell workshop came some of the most important works of stained glass of Catalan modernism, such as those made for the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Casa Lleó Morera in Barcelona or the Casa Navàs in Reus. They worked on the works of architects Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Enric Sagnier, August Font i Carreras, among others. They also carried out a large number of restorations of medieval stained glass, such as those of the Cathedral of León or the monastery of Santes Creus. The workshop participated in numerous exhibitions, especially in the period under the direction of Antoni Rigalt, in many of which it received awards: the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888; the Exhibition of Fine Arts and Artistic Industries of Barcelona, in 1892, 1896 and 1898; the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1899; the National Exhibition of Art in 1900; the International Exhibition of Art in Barcelona in 1907 and 1911; the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1929; the National Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1947.
