Measurements: 50 x 61 cm; 61 x 74 cm (frame). Summer people, bathing suits and umbrellas sparkle in chromatic myriads on the sand. With quick and intuitive brushstroke, Josep Mompou composes a vibrant summer symphony. The hill is outlined under a limpid sky. On it, the castle wall meanders through the bushes. A painter trained in the academy of Joaquín Torres Canosa, he was a member of the Círculo de Sant Lluc. In 1907 he participated in the International Exhibition of Barcelona, and the following year he organized a solo exhibition at the Dalmau Galleries. Between 1910 and 1911 he collaborated with the magazine "Papitu", and in 1917 he participated in the exhibition of Francophile artists at the Dalmau Galleries, where he later held two important individual exhibitions, in 1920 and 1925. Between 1926 and 1934 he lived in Paris and organized several individual exhibitions there, as well as successive exhibitions at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in Madrid in 1946. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions, both in Europe and America, as well as in various salons in Paris and in the Latin American Biennials. In 2009 the Caixa de Cataluña Foundation dedicated a large anthology to him at La Pedrera. He was a member of the Sant Jordi Academy, and is represented at the Reina Sofia National Center, the Museums of Modern Art in Havana, Paris and Barcelona, the Municipal Museum of Tossa de Mar, the Museum of Toledo (Ohio, United States) and the Library of Catalonia, among others.
