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.

CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Sensitive creations", 1972. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner; titled and dated on the back. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm; 154 x 154 cm (frame). In this colorful and vibrant canvas, Tarrassó displays his usual skill to express hedonistic sensations through a unique chromatic and formal symphony. A large house and a palm tree occupy the center of a landscape that, despite being abstract, leads us to imagine a splendorous meadow bathed in bright light. With his palette dominated by glaucous and mauve tones, in contrast with warm yellow and earthy tones, he succeeds in provoking an emotional response in the viewer. Enveloping brushstrokes are entangled with each other to suggest cottony clouds, dense bushes and wooded landscapes. Using a swift and intuitive stroke, he explores the concomitances between colors of Fauve heritage, textures and emotions. Known simply as Tarrassó, he studied at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic scene at the time. He was above all a brilliant landscape painter, with a style characterized by its violent and vivid colors, very luminous. He followed in the footsteps of the great Catalan landscape painters, especially Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact that Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated the still life and the Catalan and Majorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928, at the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona. Since then his exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao followed one after the other. In 1935 he visited Mallorca for the first time, and from 1940 he had a studio there, specifically in Palma, where he lived for long periods and developed most of his artistic production. After the Civil War, during the forties, Tarrassó took part in several National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in their editions of 1942, 1943 and 1950, and held many personal exhibitions in Barcelona, in galleries such as Augusta, Layetanas, Ars, etc., among them the one he held of Pyrenean landscapes in 1948, and the one of large canvases of Mallorcan landscapes that he presented in 1949. Although the landscape was always the center of his production, Tarrassó also made works such as the mural decoration of the church of Santa Maria de Badalona. In Mallorca he also carried out a singular undertaking, planting his easel in the Caves of Campanet to capture the stalactites and stalagmites of its stony cavities, developing a series of works that he presented at the Galerías Costa de Palma in October 1948. Throughout his career Tarrassó was awarded the Pollença Prize at the 1st International Painting Competition in 1962; the Santiago Rusiñol Prize in 1972; and the medals obtained in various editions of the Autumn Salons of Palma de Mallorca: first prize in 1967 and 1973, and honorary prize in 1970. Tarrassó's work is characterized by the great personality of his coloring. His obsession for chromatism determines a deeply sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. He is represented in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Artistic Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma.
