MODEST CUIXART I TÀPIES (Barcelona, 1925 - Palafrugell, Girona, 2007). "Secrot", 1992. Acrylic and material on canvas. Work reproduced full page in "Modest cuixart, Human Surgery", Girona Art Museum, 2006, p. 83. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 92 x 73 cm; 95 x 76 cm (frame). Work reproduced full page in "Modest cuixart, Cirugía Humana", Museo de Arte de Girona, 2006, p. 83. The choice to highlight this work in the catalog was the artist's choice. Dark colors generate a dense and intriguing atmosphere. However, Cuixart balances both the concept and the composition through various points of color through which he manages to completely capture the viewer's attention, focusing and directing it through the geometric element. Establishing a visual journey that runs through the entire pictorial surface. As the Modest Cuixart Foundation points out "The last stage corresponds to the 90s and is characterized by a return to the sobriety of his best times through an introspection in the subterranean and atavistic nature that demonstrates a great maturity, technical and conceptual". In this particular case the presence of the human figure indicates those first moments of transition between two artistic stages. Cuixart initially studied medicine, but soon abandoned his studies to devote himself to painting, and entered the Academia Libre de Pintura in Barcelona. In 1948 he participated in the foundation of the group Dau al Set, together with Brossa, Ponç, Tàpies and Tharrats, among others. Concerned with the plastic value of the sign, his work has from the beginning a strong kinship with surrealism, as well as a great sensitivity to the expressive power of color. Towards 1955 he immersed himself in material informalism, which led him to use the "grattage" in works with a certain orientalist flavour. In 1959 he won first prize at the São Paulo Biennial and exhibited at the Documenta in Kassel, and the following year he took part in an exhibition of Spanish avant-garde works at the Tate Gallery in London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Cuixart introduces collage in his work in 1962, which will gradually lead him towards pop-art. Enriched by all these experiences, he returns again to flat painting, reaching a very personal critical realism, which synthesizes expressionism with dramatically transformed figuration, always valuing the chromatic qualities. In the seventies he exhibited in numerous national and international capitals, such as Paris, Madrid, São Paulo, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Basel, Barcelona and Milan, among others. In the following decade, Cuixart gradually freed his painting from its aggressive aspects to give it a more lyrical tone. In addition, he participates in a group exhibition at the UNESCO Palace in Paris, receives the Cross of St. George of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and the Cross of Isabella the Catholic. In 1988, he holds an anthological exhibition in Japan, in the cities of Kobe and Tokyo. He continues to work with exuberant colors and shapes, and reincorporates a more material figuration to his work. In 1998 the foundation that bears his name was created in Palafrugell, and the following year he was awarded the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts by the Ministry of Culture. He is represented in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Tate Gallery in London, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Madrid, Barcelona and Saint-Etienne (France), the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Grabado Español Contemporáneo in Marbella, the Museo de Arte de la Universidad de São Paulo, the Museo de Arte Abstracto in Cuenca and the Museo del Ampurdán, among many others.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueres, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Christ in perspective". 1972. Ink on offset paper. Signed, dated and dedicated. Measurements: 32 x 40 cm; 55 x 82 cm (frame). Original drawing on paper that Dalí made in 1972, twenty years later than his painting "Christ of St. John of the Cross", where the crucified is also seen foreshortened, from a zenithal point of view. Dalí explores in these versions ways of suggesting the celestial contemplation of Jesus' suffering, assuming the point of view of angels or a divine entity. In the 1951 painting, the title referred to the 16th century Spanish mystic and poet known for his writings on the union of the soul with God through spiritual love. The choice of this title suggests a connection between Dalí's vision of crucifixion and deep spirituality. In the 1970s, Dalí, who was always moved by a deep spirituality, resumed his plastic reflections on themes of faith, redemption, the afterlife and the divine nature. Painter and sculptor, Salvador Dalí was one of the leading exponents of the surrealist movement. His work greatly influenced the course of surrealism during the twenties and thirties, being acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, an essential combination of the real with the imaginary. Most of his production is gathered in the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) or the Dalí Universe in London.

SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueres, Girona, 1904 - 1989). "Montaigne's Essays illustrated by Salvador Dalí", 2006. Book of selected texts with 37 drawings and book of studies. Enclosed 15 numbered plates with stamp of the Gala Dalí Foundation.

This work reveals the drawings made by Salvador Dalí to illustrate the work of the French thinker Michel de Montaigne. An important figure of the 16th century, he was the first to use the term Essay to describe a series of writings in which he reflected on the world in which he lived. Dalí, captivated by the French nobleman, selected and illustrated 21 chapters of his work, where Montaigne's values, thoughts and philosophy are compiled. In the book of Essays, bound in copper-colored silk, Dalí offers us his particular vision and ideas on the selected texts through 37 drawings. A collection of 15 plates -in Indian ink and watercolor- are presented in an elegant folder, all of them numbered and with the seal of the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation, which guarantees the facsimile reproduction. The work is complemented by a book of studies that allows us to delve deeper into the work of Montaigne and Dalí, and takes us into the creation of this new literary genre. An indispensable analysis with a clear and concise language that brings the reader closer to the artist's illustrations, thus allowing us to enjoy this jewel of collecting.
