Description

MARTÍ LLAURADÓ MARISCOT (Barcelona, 1903 - 1957). "Girl sleeping". Stone sculpture of Montjuïc. Signed on the left side. Presents marks of use and wear; some chipping. Measurements: 30 x 110 x 45 cm. The sleeping young woman is represented in this sculpture with a veristic intention, seeking in her the beauty that is born not from perfection but from the singularity and fragility of the body at rest. This is a work of quality by Martí Llauradó Mariscot, made with Montjuïc stone, a compact and resistant stone from the mountain of the same name, which has been used over the centuries in important sculptures and constructions in the city of Barcelona, including part of Gaudí's work. The sculptor Martí Llauradó worked during his youth with Joan Borrell and Joan Rebull, from whom he received important influences. In 1929 he made his debut with his first individual exhibition in Barcelona, together with Joan Commeleran. From then on he continued exhibiting his work and taking part in contests, and in 1933 he was awarded in the Exhibition of the Nude of the Artistic Circle of Barcelona. The following year he obtained the first medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid. In the post-war period he obtained other important awards in cities such as Seville (for religious art), Madrid and Barcelona, and was invited to participate in two editions of the Venice Biennale. Llauradó was a leading figure of the young generation of postnoucentisme, and tempered the stylized idealism of the noucentistes with an accentuation of realism. He is currently represented at MACBA.
