LLUÍS LLEÓ (Barcelona, 1961). "Morpho's dream", New York, 2017. Mixed media on paper. Signed and dated in the lower margin. Measurements: 100 x 80 cm; 115 x 91 cm (frame). Lluís Lleó lives and works, currently between the intensely cosmopolitan city of New York and the small village of Rupiá, in Baix Empordà. His work, of an eminently abstract character, presents important links with conceptualism and European informalism, as can be seen in the piece we now present, where the title, the written word, is an integral part of the work, which is characterized, on the other hand, by its gestural, material character, and by its chromatic containment. Lluís Lleó began his exhibition career in 1988, and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions of international scope. He has also participated in some of the most important art fairs on the international scene. His work is held in museums and collections such as the Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, the Perez Art Museum Miami, the collection of the Fundació La Caixa, the Collection Fank for International Settlements in Basel, the Maison Particuliere in Brussels, the World Trade Center in Barcelona, the Fundació Godia in Barcelona and the Nagoya Art Museum in Japan.

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 He collected several unpublished drawings under the title "Dibujos de Serra" (1973), with a prologue by Santos Torroella.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.

RAMÓN CAPMANY MONTANER (Canet de Mar, 1899 - Barcelona, 1992). "Female portrait". Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left corner. Measurements: 73 x 60 cm; 87,5 x 74,5 cm (frame). Painter, engraver and bibliophile, he was a disciple of Francesc Labarta in the School of the Fish Market of Barcelona. As a painter he was mainly dedicated to landscapes (especially of old Barcelona and Montseny), with a naturalistic style, faithful to nature, detailed and with fine strokes. He had important individual and collective exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, Munich and London, among other European cities. His awards include the Travelling Exhibition in New York (1926), an exhibition that brought him international fame, and the gold medal in the competition "Barcelona seen by its artists" (1931). He exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés, and was a member of the group Los Evolucionistas until 1923. He also collaborated in many of the bibliophile editions of the publishing house Montaner y Simón, a prominent company to which the artist was linked by family ties, always using etching, generally in color. He is represented in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona.

EULALIA FÁBREGAS DE SENTMENAT (Barcelona, 1900 - 1992). "Female nude". White marble. Stand in green marble. Signed on the right side. Presents marks of use and wear; stains of having been exposed outdoors. Slight chipping on the pedestal. Measurements: 110 x 75 x 63 cm. Eulalia Fábregas de Sentmenat developed a genuinely Mediterranean sculpture, and this is notably expressed in this seated figure: a female nude of essential lines, almost apollonian and idealized, but that at the same time transmits a naturalistic character, without any pomposity, thanks to the natural gesture that the young woman adopts when sitting with her legs folded and tilted, one hand on the slab and the other on the lower part of the right leg. The young woman assumes the aura of a Greek goddess, but also of a carnal woman. She exudes both dignity and grace. The modeling is perfect and gives the anatomy a warm carnality. Eulàlia Fàbregas Jacas, better known by her married name as Eulàlia Fàbregas de Sentmenat was a Catalan sculptor. She started sculpting at the age of 50, following the death of her son in a car accident. She trained then with the sculptor Rosa Martínez Brau, and in 1964 she exhibited for the first time in the Sala Parés in Barcelona. With a figurative tendency, she devoted herself especially to the female nude, generally in large format pieces - massive but elegant, harmonious and serene figures - and also made religious images. Most of his works are in Barcelona, among them: "Mediterrània", in the Royal Palace of Pedralbes (1962); Serenity, in Cervantes Park (1964); Female Nude, in the Gardens of Joan Maragall (1965); To Francesc Matheu, in Avenida Diagonal 696, in front of the University School of Business Studies (1968); and Women in the Cascade, in the Gardens of Joan Maragall (1970). He also has several works in Esplugues de Llobregat, especially in Can Sentmenat: Despertar, Eva, Juventud, Diana, Maternidad -in Can Vidalet Park-, Alba -in Carretera de Cornellà-, Bailarinas, Sin nombre I y II and Diosa mediterránea; as well as La Mujer del Parque -in Pou d'en Fèlix Park- or Alegoría a las víctimas de las guerras -in Ca n'Hospital Park.
