JOSEP BARTOLÍ (Barcelona, 1910-New York, 1995). "Abstract", ca. 1946. Oil on panel. Signed in the lower margin. Provenance: Estate of Irena Urdang de Tours (art dealer and Holocaust survivor). Measurements: 14 x 9,5 cm; 26,5 x 22 cm (frame). Every plot of Josep Bartolí's life could have been extracted from a gripping novel. His drawings of denunciation would echo his time in concentration camps, from whose death he ended up escaping by jumping off a train. But he also experimented with abstraction, especially while in New York and Mexico. This painting ("Abstract") was probably made in New York in 1946, the year he met Frida Kalho and they fell in love, as evidenced by the love letters they wrote to each other (25 passionate letters from Fridha are preserved). The Mexican painter was in the U.S. city recovering from spinal surgery. Later, they continued their romance in Mexico. Stylistically, "Abstraction" is close to the postulates of abstract expressionism, as the artist frequented the circle of Pollock and Rothko in those years. Painter, draftsman and set designer. A disciple of Salvador Alarma and Tastàs, he collaborated with various publications (La Humanidad, La Opinión, La Esquella de la Torratxa...) as a political cartoonist. At a very young age he began to work as a cartoonist in the press and became involved in trade unionism in Barcelona at the time. Between 1933 and 1934 he presented an exhibition of drawings in Barcelona that was very successful. He was one of the organizers of the Sindicato de Dibujantes de Cataluña and of the UGT. leader in 1936. Towards the end of the Spanish Civil War he went into exile in France. Arrested by the Gestapo, he was sent to the Dachau camp, but on the way he escaped by jumping off the train and, after a long journey, he arrived in Mexico. There he resumed his pictorial activity, came into contact with the environment of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, of whom he was a lover, and participated in the founding of the Prisse gallery. In the United States he was the first cartoonist of Hollyday magazine, standing out as one of the most sought-after cartoonists of the time, he made sets for historical films in Hollywood and was part of the 10th Street group, along with Willem de Kooning, Kline, Pollock and Rothko. In 1973 he received the Mark Rothko Award for Fine Arts.3 Among his illustrated books are Caliban (1971), The black man in America (1975) and Campos de concentración (Mexico, 1943; Madrid, Spain, 2006). This last title, based on texts by the Catalan journalist Molins i Fábrega, collects his extensive documentary series of pen drawings about his experience in the concentration camps.

JOSEP ROCA SASTRE (Terrassa, 1928 - Barcelona, 1997). "From Lucas Cranach", 1953. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, titled and dated on the back. With Oriol Galeria d'Art label on the back. Measurements: 100 x 80 cm; 105 x 86 cm (frame). The one now being auctioned is an early work of the painter Josep Roca Sastre, corresponding to a stage prior to the realization of his intimate interior scenes. The canvas is a metaphysical version of the work "The Three Graces" by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a panel painted by the master in 1531 and now kept in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Trained in Barcelona, in the sixties Roca began to develop a personal, independent style and created his own language. His proposal focused on recovering the look of the close and the everyday, the familiar. He exhibited for forty years in the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and also showed his work in other Spanish cities, as well as in the United States. In 1966 he was awarded the Sant Jordi prize by the Diputació de Barcelona, and two years later the medal of honor at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1980 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, and in 1993 he was awarded the Quadern Prize of the Fundació Amics de les Arts i de les Lletres de Sabadell. Roca Sastre developed a figurative style of intimate themes, applying a personal and subjective look to his interior scenes as well as to his urban and natural landscapes. Since his death, retrospectives of Josep Roca's work have been held at La Pedrera and the Muncunill (Terrassa), Oriol (Barcelona) and Juan Oliver Maneu (Palma de Mallorca) galleries. His work is preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
