JOAQUIM TERRUELLA MATILLA (Barcelona, 1891 - 1957). "Flamenco dance". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 50 x 60 cm; 75 x 84 cm (frame). The flamenco theme with passion Terruella was passionate about flamenco dancing, and this leaves its mark in colorful and energetic paintings like the one we show here. Nephew and follower of Segundo Matilla, Joaquín Terruella was also a disciple of Santiago Rusiñol. With the latter he made a trip to Italy in 1923, as well as spending a season working together in Aranjuez. He also painted in Paris and Palma de Mallorca. He exhibited individually for the first time in the disappeared Goya room in Barcelona, in 1916. From then on he exhibited in Barcelona, especially in the Sala Parés (from 1924), and also showed his impressionist landscapes in galleries in Paris (he exhibited there for the first time in 1922), Madrid, Palma, Saragossa, Bordeaux and Biarritz. From 1928 he will show his work in the Gaspar room in Barcelona, where he will repeat his presence until 1952. In 1956 he held his last exhibition at the Sala Busquets, also in his native city. Since then his work has been present in different collective and anthological exhibitions such as the one held in the Gothsland room in Barcelona in 1985. In 1993, Ángeles Cortina brought together a series of his oil paintings and drawings in her Barcelona gallery. Joaquín Terruella was a fundamentally landscape painter, situated in the wake of impressionism, who reflected the Catalan landscape with delicacy and subtle transparency. Another of his favorite subjects was the world of bullfighting, and in fact he worked as a bullfighting illustrator for the publications "El Día Gráfico" and "La Noche". He also worked on scenes of gypsies and concert cafés. His work is preserved in the MACBA, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Madrid and the Provincial Museum of Lugo.

JOAQUIM TERRUELLA MATILLA (Barcelona, 1891 - 1957). "Beach Scene". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. It has a patch on the back Size: 106 x 140 cm; 135 x 171 cm (frame). Due to the orography of the landscape it is probably a representation of the beach of Llançà, located in the province of Gerona. The aforementioned idyllic landscape was portrayed several times by the artist, as can be seen in the collection of Baroness Carmen Thyssen, who owns the works Playa de LLança and Playa de Port de Llançà, from 1946. The scene shows a technique that is familiar with the aesthetic advances and pictorial proposals that the Impressionists contributed to the history of art, and especially to the way of apprehending the landscape. It is an everyday beach scene with several small figures dressed in brightly coloured costumes and arranged in groups on the seashore. At the beginning of the stretch of water we see several beached boats, and finally a sea where they produce expressive reflections, echoing the luminous atmosphere that dominates the scene. A nephew and follower of Segundo Matilla, Joaquín Terruella was also a disciple of Santiago Rusiñol. He made a trip to Italy with the latter in 1923, as well as spending some time working together in Aranjuez. He also painted in Paris and Palma de Mallorca. He had his first solo exhibition in the now defunct Goya gallery in Barcelona in 1916, and from then on he exhibited his work in other Barcelona galleries, such as the Parés and Gaspar, and also in Paris, Madrid, Palma, Saragossa, Bordeaux and Biarritz. In 1956 he held his last exhibition at the Sala Busquets in Barcelona. Since then his work has been present in various group and anthological exhibitions, such as the one held at the Sala Gothsland in Barcelona in 1985.
