JAUME PITARCH (Barcelona, 1963). "Entropía de Jackson".2009. Mixed media (collage on cardboard". Provenance: Gallery dels Àngels of Barcelona. Measurements: 77 x 107 cm. This piece was part of an exhibition of the same name by Jaume Pitarch at the Àngels Barcelona gallery, in which the theme of time was treated from a new perspective both as a concept and as a plastic development. As the press release read: "Pitarch transforms mundane objects and work rituals into instruments for critical reflection. Frequently, his work consists of obstinate actions that lead to apparently absurd, unproductive, invisible or unimaginable results. This absurdity is not, however, self-indulgent: it questions the identity, socializing, and behavioral relations between man and his material production. For Pitarch, this is simply the consequence of the angst of a man lost in a web of constantly mutating social structures to which he derives all his energy in a failed attempt to belong, "to insert himself into them". The theme of time (time as that which constantly leaves us out of the game) is therefore a constant in his work. A Virilian time that is sometimes alluded to, stopped or converted into an invisible ally called process". Currently based in Barcelona, Jaume Pitarch studied Fine Arts at the Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. His language is based on the decontextualization of man-made elements, which he dismantles and reconstructs in a completely different way, stripping them of their original meaning and value. Throughout his career as an artist, Jaume Pitarch has held numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally, highlighting: Àngels Barcelona (2013, 2009, 2004,1997); Galería Fúcares, Madrid (2013, 2008); Spencer Brownstone Gallery, New York (2013, 2009, 2006) or in Galerija Vartai, Lithuania, 2011. Likewise, his work has been selected for group exhibitions in international galleries and institutions. His work is part of public and private collections such as the MACBA collection, the Vila Casas Foundation, the La Caixa collection, Artium, the Bergé collection, the Patio Herreriano Museum or the collection of the Royal College of Art in London, among others.

Estim. 8 000 - 9 000 EUR

APELES MESTRES OÑÓS (Barcelona, 1854 - 1936). "Peace and progress". Oil on canvas. Signed and titled in the lower right corner. Measurements: 75 x 102 cm; 94 x 220 cm (frame). The painting that we show has a great artistic, documentary and historiographic value. The Catalan painter Apeles Mestres displays here his particular mastery to compose a multitudinous and celebratory scene, a popular celebration before an anecdotal but significant event, the inauguration of the Monument to Peace that was erected at the end of what would be the Ramblas de Santa Monica, in Barcelona, in the year 1876. It was erected in the place now occupied by the monument to Columbus. The city council wanted to celebrate peace in a symbolic way, after the third and bloody Carlist war. Antoni Rovira i Trias was in charge of the monument, presided over by a female allegory flanked by lions on a staircase. Flags of Spain and Catalonia coexist in harmony. Men and women with barratinas dance sardanas, others carry bundles of straw. They are probably going to light a bonfire in honor of peace. In the distance, boats can be seen approaching the port and, on the other side, several chimneys are smoking. Children are running around. One is doing the vertical on his hands and his friends are singing. A group of men are waving flags. The anecdote is juicy and immense. A blue sky, without a cloud, enhances the colors of popular joy. Writer, cartoonist, painter, cartoonist and musician, Apelles Mestres was invested in 1908 with the title of Mestre en Gai Saber. He was also decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor of the French government (1920) and with the Gold Medal of the city of Barcelona. Apeles Mestresa (Barcelona, October 29, 1854-Barcelona, July 19, 1936) was a Spanish writer and cartoonist, notable figure of Catalan literature and precursor of the comic strip. Mestres, a multifaceted artist who cultivated poetry, music and theater, collaborated with cartoons in the periodical press of the time in addition to being a prolific illustrator of books. Progressive and linked to republicanism at certain stages of his life, he opposed the most conservative sectors of the Catalan literary scene, of which Mestres is considered a notable figure.
