Description

IMELDO CORRAL GONZÁLEZ (Ferrol, 1889 - 1976). "Reflections in the sea", Galicia. Oil on cardboard. Signed and located in the lower right corner. Titled on the back. It presents faults and damages in the pictorial layer. Measurements: 24 x 28,5 cm. Imeldo Corral decides to devote himself to painting due to his precarious health, which prevents him from doing any work that requires physical effort. Thus, he enters the School of Arts and Crafts of Ferrol at the age of eighteen, although after studying only one course he is forced to leave the school due to illness. Then he moved to Madrid, where he worked in oil, pastel and watercolor, and worked as a copyist at the Prado Museum. It was in this city where he took part in his first exhibition, a group exhibition of Galician painters held in 1912 at the Centro Gallego in Madrid, where he sent more than thirty paintings and fifty sketches, mainly landscapes and seascapes of Ferrol, as well as a self-portrait. In 1917 he took part in an exhibition in La Coruña, together with painters of the stature of Ribas, Germán Taibo, González del Blanco, Manuel Abelenda, etc. In 1918 he exhibits again in the same city on the occasion of the homage to the violinist Manolo Quiroga, and that same year he presents his first individual exhibition in Madrid, where he shows a varied group of landscapes. In 1923 he held an exhibition in Santiago, which was a success and a great social event. That same year he also exhibited in La Coruña. In 1928 he held an exhibition in Madrid, at the Palacio del Retiro, and in the following years he continued his exhibitions in Galicia, León and Barcelona. He will also show his works in Buenos Aires, in the Galician Center of the Argentine capital. Imeldo Corral received the Medal of Artistic Merit from the City Council of Ferrol, already very ill, on January 7, 1976. He was a full member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes del Rosario, of La Coruña, and honorary member of the Sociedad Artística Ferrolana. Considered one of the best Galician painters of his time, Corral developed a style centered on the poetics of color, and knew how to capture perfectly the changing light of Galician mornings and sunsets. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of La Coruña, Pontevedra and Vigo, the Municipal Bello Piñeiro and the Royal Galician Academy of Fine Arts.

COCTEAU Jean (1889-1963) - MADELINE-JOLLY workshop "Médiévale" (Medieval) Tulip-shaped vase in pink clay with light brown oxide pencil strokes. White, green, yellow and red enamels. Signature "Jean Cocteau" incised in the enamel around the foot. Under the base, monogram and "59". In its box. Created in 1958 (Edition of 50, our proof hors commerce). Height 29 cm x Diam. 14 cm Jean Cocteau met Marie-Madeleine Jolly and Philippe Madeline in 1957. From then on, he worked with MADELINE-JOLLY potteries in VILLEFRANCHE-SUR-MER, until his death in 1963. Thanks to this cooperation, over 300 ceramics, poem-objects and jewelry pieces were produced. The "Prince Frivole" went so far as to say: "Pottery saved my life! It saves me from using ink, which has become too dangerous, because everything we write is systematically distorted by those who read it (...) Picasso told me that if I put a ceramic in the kiln, I was lost. But I've always enjoyed getting lost". Cocteau, a champion of the line, was to emphasize a clean, uncluttered line. Philippe Madeline said of the versatile artist: "How can you not be captivated by his well-balanced graphics, rigorous without being geometric, tender without being overbearing? This vase reflects the concern for total art inherent in the 20th century, with artists wishing to irrigate all facets of art, both pictorial and decorative. Provenance: According to family tradition, this vase was an internal gift to the workshop.

European school; 19th century. "Hawk over barnyard". Oil on canvas. It presents faults in the frame. Measurements: 66 x 107 cm; 94 x 123 cm (frame). This type of painting starring animals became popular during the 19th century, due to the change in the collectors who requested a less regal painting that reflected themes of a lighter tone. In this particular case, a hawk stands over a flock of birds and rabbits, reflecting the artist's great skill in capturing the animals, which are treated aesthetically from a truthful and realistic perspective. Francisco Hohenleiter (Cadiz, 1889 - Seville, 1968) began his training in Puerto de Santa Maria, and in 1918 he moved to Seville, settling permanently in the city. An elegant, colourful painter, he soon became a leading figure in mural decoration and, above all, in posters, magazine illustration and book illustration. His works combine influences from different styles such as modernism, genre painting and romanticism. Through his posters in the 1920s he reinvented Holy Week in Seville, with works based on the use of colour and decorative lines. As a painter he focused on portraiture, landscape and the depiction of popular types, mainly majos, as well as genre scenes. He also produced nudes, church interiors and still lifes. Throughout his career he showed his work in various Spanish cities and also in Paris, with an outstanding exhibition at the Charpentier gallery in 1932. Francisco Hohenleiter's painting is rooted in that of Jiménez Aranda and García Ramos and is inspired by Goya and Alenza. He became the glosador of romantic Seville, the portraitist of the Andalusia set to music by Albéniz. His work is currently scattered all over Andalusia: murals, posters, hand programmes, etc. Today he is represented in various museums and private collections.

LAURIE SIMMONS (Long Island, New York, 1949). "Plaid living room". The instant decorator Series, 2004. Flex print. Edition 3/5. Work reproduced on the artist's website. Presents certificate of authenticity, exhibition labels and signature on the back. Provenance: Distrito Cuatro Gallery (Madrid). Measurements: 76,2 x 96,5 cm; 84,1 x 104,1 cm (frame). "Plaid living Room" (2004) belongs to the Instant Decorator series, which was initiated by Simmons in 2001, with the intention of materializing his research around a book on interior decoration published in 1976. This publication had different templates of domestic interiors, which allowed the reader to decorate rooms with fabric swatches and different paintings. By rescuing this "Do it by yourself" idea, the author constructed an image that echoes the aesthetics of collage, where different independent elements coexist, forming a set of great visual expressiveness. Through a domestic interior in which an elegantly dressed woman lies on the carpet, the author poses to the viewer an uncertainty about who this character is, and what she represents. The protagonist is surrounded by luxuries, and looks at the viewer suggestively, but she is alone, and her pose and dress invite her to be represented as just another piece of furniture, as an object of consumption. This representation of the woman, reflecting on her role in the social environment, was one of the first themes explored by Laurie Simmons in her works. In which she related the space of the home with the feminine, like other artists such as Martha Rosler, or Barbara Kruger, who used similar themes and techniques to the one presented here. Laurie Simmons grew up in Long Island, in an era of economic expansion that marked the beginning of material prosperity, but also gave rise to a state of conformity, characteristics that are very recurrent in the themes explored by the artist. Her career stands out for its versatility, as she works as an artist, photographer and filmmaker. After graduating from Tyler School of Art in the late 1960s and settling in New York City, Simmons began to develop her artistic side. In 1972, Simmons discovered a vintage dollhouse in the attic of a toy store in Liberty, New York, so she began making compositions with dolls, which she subsequently photographed and intervened. Most of his works make a statement about traditional gender roles, questioning them and criticizing the objectification of the person, especially women. Simmons is part of the important artistic group, The Pictures Generation, a name given to a group of artists who rose to fame in the 1970s, and which includes world-renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger and Louise Lawler. Much of Simmons' work, like that of the aforementioned artists, is rooted in the role of women and their integration with their environment and society. In a March 2014 interview, Simmons stated, "When I picked up a camera with a group of other women, I'm not going to say it was a radical act, but we were certainly doing it in a kind of defiance or reaction to, a male-dominated world of painting." Today her work is in important collections both private and public, examples include the Queen Sofia Art Center, the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. Work reproduced on the artist's website. Presents certificate of authenticity, exhibition labels and signature on the back. Provenance: Distrito Cuatro Gallery (Madrid). Gallery Distrito Cuatro (Madrid).
