JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Tertulia de viejos pescadores" (Old fishermen's gathering). 1943. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. With label of the Sala Parés. Measurements: 81 x 100 cm; 98 x 117 cm (frame). Togores converts here an everyday and anecdotal subject into an almost magical moment thanks to his ability to endow the elderly with such psychic depth that makes them endearing and close. A melancholic aura envelops the scene. Born into a well-to-do and cultured family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet. At the age of eighteen he was already an important artist in Barcelona, and in 1913 he was commissioned to decorate the chapel of Anna Girona in Poblet. With a scholarship from the city council of Barcelona, he moved to Paris to study, where he became acquainted with the painting of Cézanne, who would be a decisive influence on his work from then on. In 1917 he meets Picasso, and comes into contact with cubist theories and circles. In the 1920s he began his relationship with the gallery owner Kahnweiler, who would later become Picasso's dealer. He worked exclusively with him between 1921 and 1931, when his painting went through its most experimental period, approaching automatism and surrealism. Under Kahnweiler's guidance he became an enormously successful artist. In 1932 his painting takes a new turn, a return to figuration. He moves to Barcelona and works with a new dealer, Francesc Cambó. During this period he painted many portraits of the most important people in Catalan society, and became one of the most sought-after painters of the time. During the Civil War he moved to France, but returned in 1939, where he continued to work, without having lost any of his prestige. His work is present in the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional del Arte de Cataluña, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museo de Arte de Sabadell, the Städtisches Gelsenkirchen Museum (Germany), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Palacio Nacional de Montjuic and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), among others.

FRANCESC SERRA CASTELLET (Barcelona, 1912 - Tossa, Girona, 1976). "Female nude". Oil on tablex. Presents sketch on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 60 x 83 cm; 74 x 97 cm (frame). Painter and draftsman, Francesc Serra spent his youth in Granollers, Barcelona. Although he passed fleetingly through the School of La Lonja in Barcelona, he is basically a self-taught author. He had his first exhibition in 1932, at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and participated in the Salones de Primavera between 1934 and 1936. In 1936 and 1937 he was a special guest of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, United States. He continued to hold individual exhibitions in Barcelona, mainly at the Sala Gaspar. A great admirer of Degas, he was especially influenced by his favorite theme, the feminine. Sporadically he also tackled other themes, such as the urban landscape, of which the series of Paris, presented in 1951, is worth mentioning. Likewise, with his portraits of the lead mine he approached the sensitive realism of Ingres. He won several awards, including the Sant Jordi of Barcelona (1953) and the first medals at the National Exhibitions of Madrid (1957) and Barcelona (1960). He collected several unpublished drawings under the title "Dibujos de Serra" (1973), with a prologue by Santos Torroella. Determined defender of realism in art and of traditional figuration against the avant-garde, he published the essay "La aventura del arte contemporáneo" (1953), with a prologue by Rafael Benet. He is represented in the Museums of Modern Art of Madrid and Barcelona and in the Museums of Fine Arts of l'Empordà and Sabadell.

Signed, dated and titled on the back. With Sala Parés label on the back. Measurements: 54 x 65 cm; 56 x 67 cm (frame).

In 1969 he was appointed professor of painting at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, and during these years he held exhibitions in Cali and Mexico City. As a set designer, he has worked on Xavier Montsalvatge's "Una voz en off" and Joan Oliver's "Bestiario". He has also worked in engraving, monotype and drawing. In 2001 he received the Sant Jordi Cross from the Generalitat de Catalunya, in recognition of his artistic career. Francesc Todó is currently represented at MACBA.
