MIGUEL VILLÀ BASSOLS (Barcelona, 1901 - Masnou, 1988). Untitled. Oil on canvas. It has an informative label on the back. The canvas has a visible tear on the front. Signed on the back. Measurements: 27 x 41 cm; 44 x 58 cm (frame). After finishing his formation in the School of Fine Arts of La Lonja of Barcelona, Villà initiates a long series of trips for Europe and America, in the course of which he realizes his first individual exhibition, in Bogota. Settling in Paris in 1922, he participates in the Salons d'Automne and the Salons des Indépendants. Back in Spain he settled in Masnou. He exhibited at the Sala Parés in 1929, and participated in the Spring Exhibitions of Barcelona in 1933, 1934 and 1935. In addition, he was one of the painters protected by Joan Merli. During the post-war period he organized individual exhibitions in the Syra Galleries in Barcelona (1949 and 1951), and participated in the Barcelona Exhibition of 1951. He was awarded in the First Hispano-American Biennial of Art, celebrated in Madrid in 1951, and participated in the Third (Barcelona, 1955). Chosen by D'Ors, he participated in some of the Salones de los Once in Madrid, where he also had several solo exhibitions. He also exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1977 and 1985 two anthological exhibitions were dedicated to him. In 1985 he was awarded the Sant Jordi Cross by the Generalitat de Catalunya. His painting, of a sober constructivism focused on landscapes (usually Catalan or Ibizan), interiors and still lifes, is characterized by its great material density and its matte coloring. His style synthesizes the rigor and classicism of noucentisme with the realism of the 1917 generation. He is represented in the Basque Museum of Contemporary Art and in the Museum of the Abbey of Montserrat, as well as in important private collections. It has a tear in the canvas visible on the obverse.
