RICARDO OPISSO I SALA (Tarragona, 1880 - Barcelona, 1966). "Day at the beach". Colored pencils on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 26 x 35 cm; 40,5 x 48,5 cm (frame). Opisso was a painter, draftsman and cartoonist. In his youth he participated in the modernist environment of Barcelona, and in fact in 1894 he began to work as an apprentice with Antoni Gaudí in the works of the Sagrada Familia. Two years later, backed by the architect, he became a member of the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc, with whom he would later exhibit in the Sala Parés. He was linked to the group Els Quatre Gats, together with Ramón Casas, Manuel Hugué, Isidre Nonell and Pablo Picasso, among others. In 1901 he made a trip to Paris, where Picasso and Hugué were already there. He worked as an illustrator in publications such as "Cu-cut!" and "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", signing drawings oriented to political satire, in a style close to art nouveau. In 1907 he took part in the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona, and received a third class medal. Due to the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Opisso abandoned political satire and his drawings approached the costumbrista theme, specializing in popular scenes. His works of this period are characterized by presenting motley crowds in popular Barcelona scenes. After having exhibited several times in succession at the Sala Parés, he held his first individual exhibition in 1935, at the Syra galleries in Barcelona. During the post-war period he continued to exhibit in various galleries in Barcelona, and reaped great success with both critics and the public. In 1953 he received the recognition of his hometown in the IV Art Fair of Tarragona. During his early years, apart from his surname, Opisso also used to sign his work with an "O" for Opisso, which contains the "R" of his name. Most of his work is preserved in the Opisso Museum in Barcelona, but it is also present in the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg. As for exhibitions, the one held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in 2004, under the title "Catalan painting, from naturalism to noucentisme", in which his work "Carnival" was exhibited, stands out. Likewise, the Saló del Tinell (1979), the Palau de la Virreina (1980), the Salón Náutico Internacional de Barcelona (1973), the Fundació La Caixa (1988, 2004, 2008) and the Caixa Tarragona (2003) have dedicated anthological exhibitions to him.

BALDOMERO GILI ROIG (Lleida, 1873 - Barcelona, 1927). "Garden with sculpture of Venus". Oil on canvas. With sketch on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Provenance: Heirs of the painter (personal collection). Never exhibited. The frame has very slight flaws. Measurements: 61 x 79 cm; 79 x 96 cm (frame). Painter, draftsman and illustrator, Baldomero Gili Roig stood out fundamentally as a landscape painter, although he also cultivated the decorative painting. He began his artistic training in Irún (Guipúzcoa), and then continued at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and at the Special School of Painting in Madrid, where he was a disciple of Alejo Vera. Finally he completed his studies in Munich, and later in Rome thanks to a scholarship from the Diputación de Lleida. In 1924 he moved to Buenos Aires, where he continued his career with great success, dedicated to both easel painting and illustration. On his return to Spain, he settled permanently in Barcelona, where he was several times president of the Real Círculo Artístico. He collaborated with "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", as well as illustrating a "Roman Missal" and several literary works. He submitted his works to numerous exhibitions, and in the National Exhibitions he obtained honorable mention in 1895, 1897 and 1904, as well as a second medal in 1904. The same award was granted to him at the Athens Exposition of 1903 and at the International Exposition of Barcelona in 1911; five years later he obtained the first medal at the Universal Exposition of Panama. As a decorator, his frescoes in the pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano in Guadalajara stand out. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the Jaime Morera Museum in Lleida and the Fine Arts Museums of Valencia, Badajoz and La Rioja, among others.

RICARDO OPISSO I SALA (Tarragona, 1880 - Barcelona, 1966). "Toulouse-Lautrec at the café". Pencil on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. The paper shows traces of old stickers. Size: 15 x 11 cm; 30 x 27 cm (frame). Opisso was a painter, draughtsman and cartoonist. In his youth he took part in the modernist environment of Barcelona, and in fact in 1894 he began to work as an apprentice with Antoni Gaudí in the works of the Sagrada Familia. Two years later, backed by the architect, he became a member of the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc, with whom he would later exhibit at the Sala Parés. He was linked to the group Els Quatre Gats, together with Ramon Casas, Manuel Hugué, Isidre Nonell and Pablo Picasso, among others. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century he made a trip to Paris, where Picasso and Hugué were already there. Throughout his career Opisso worked as an illustrator in publications such as "Cu-cut!" and "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", signing drawings aimed at political satire, in a style close to Art Nouveau. In 1907 he took part in the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona and was awarded a third-class medal. Due to the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Opisso abandoned political satire and his drawings moved towards genre themes, specialising in popular scenes. His works from this period are characterised by the presentation of motley crowds of people in popular Barcelona settings. After exhibiting several times in succession at the Sala Parés, he held his first solo exhibition in 1935 at the Syra galleries in Barcelona. During the post-war period he continued to exhibit in various galleries in Barcelona, and reaped considerable success with both critics and the public. In 1953 he received recognition from his hometown at the 4th Tarragona Art Fair. Most of his work is kept in the Opisso Museum in Barcelona, but it is also present in the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg. In terms of exhibitions, the one held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in 2004 under the title "Catalan Painting, from Naturalism to Noucentisme", in which his work "Carnival" was exhibited, is particularly noteworthy.
