JOSEP ARMET PORTANELL (Barcelona, 1843 - 1911). "Couple of folkloric". Oil on canvas. Without signature. With the name engraved on the plate of the frame. Measurements: 24 x 34 cm; 47 x 56 cm (frame). Outstanding painter and lithographer, Armet cultivated the landscape, the genre painting, the portrait and the decorative painting. He began his training at the School of Fine Arts of La Lonja in Barcelona, where he was taught by Ramón Martí Alsina. In the early sixties of the nineteenth century he moved to Rome to further his studies, and there he became friends with Mariano Fortuny. He sent works to national and local exhibitions, being awarded an honorable mention in the National Exhibition of 1864, and a third medal in the edition of 1866. He also exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, starting in 1877. In 1872 he was awarded in the Official Exhibition of Le Havre, in France, and in 1878 he participated in the Universal Exhibition of Paris. In the field of lithography he made in 1866 a series entitled "La juventud pintada por sí misma" (Youth painted by itself) in the line marked by Eusebio Planas, of which the publication was forbidden. As a decorator, it is worth mentioning the paintings he made for the Café del Liceo in Barcelona. At first his language was ascribed to the pattern of the School of Olot, a town to which he had moved in 1870 fleeing from yellow fever, along with the painters Urgell, Caba and others, collaborating actively with his colleagues in the consolidation of the Olot Art Center. For his landscapes he took sketches from life, which he then transferred to oil, sifted by artificial light. His style of these years is inscribed within the Catalan realist landscape painting, with appreciable Roman influences in his technical preciosity. However, during his last years his style evolved in a line that links with the work of Ramon Casas and the first Picasso. He turned his gaze towards street themes, contemporary and featuring ordinary people, and his brushstrokes acquired a greater fluency and gestural sense. Josep Armet is represented in the Prado Museum and in the Provincial Museum of Girona, among other public and private collections.

Schuiten/Original drawing symbolically illustrating a hand held back by barbed wire that manages to get through a wall... a powerful work created for the French newspaper Libération in January 2008 about the situation in Gaza, which is unfortunately still relevant today. India ink, watercolor and grease pencil. Signed. TBE+. Pass included: 58 X 45 cm François Schuiten (1956) was just 16 when his drawings were published for the first time: "Mutation", a short story drawn entirely in bic, appeared in the Belgian edition of Pilote. At the Institut Saint-Luc comics workshop, he met Claude Renard, with whom he produced two albums: Aux médianes de Cymbiola and Le Rail, published by Casterman under the title Métamorphoses. Over the years, he and his brother Luc developed the "Terres creuses" cycle in Métal Hurlant. Since 1982, he has been working with his childhood friend Benoît Peeters on the "Les Cités obscures" series. These albums have been translated into ten languages and won numerous awards. It remains considered one of the major series of recent decades. The album La Fièvre d'Urbicande won the Best Album award at the Angoulême Festival in 1985. In 2002, François Schuiten was awarded the Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angoulême, the ultimate accolade for any cartoonist. He has designed a dozen stamps for the Belgian postal service. He has also designed countless posters, illustrations, serigraphs and lithographs. In 2019, he produced a new album of the adventures of Blake and Mortimer for Dargaud, but on the bangs of the series. A special edition in a style completely different from that of Edgar P. Jacobs, one of his great masters. A Blake et Mortimer à la Schuiten, with the help of Thomas Gunzig on the script (and to a lesser extent Jaco Van Dormael) and the Durieux brothers for their graphic contributions and coloring. In parallel with this project, François Schuiten is part of the ScanPyramids mission led by engineer Mehdi Tayoubi. This is a scientific expedition to Egypt where archaeologists and other specialists descend to the center of Khéops to unravel the mystery of the largest of the pyramids, the only vestige of the Seven Wonders of the World.
