RAMÓN GAYA POMÉS, (Murcia, 1910- Valencia, 2005). "Nude", 1946. Ink on paper. Presents restorations on the paper. Signed and dated in the lower right area, Measurements: 10 x 26 cm; 24 x 39 cm (frame). The initial formation of the painter and writer Ramón Gaya came from the hand of the friends of his father Pedro Flores and Luis Garay, and thanks to the library of his father, lithographer. He abandoned formal education to devote himself to painting and, thanks to a scholarship, he moved to Madrid in 1927, where he visited the Prado Museum and met Juan Ramón Jiménez and most of the members of the Generation of 1927. In Paris, he exhibits for the first time and, despite his success, he returns after a few months, disappointed by avant-garde painting, which he ends up rejecting. In the Spanish capital he collaborates with the Pedagogical Missions and makes several copies of paintings from the Prado Museum for the People's Museum, and later travels around Spain with this project. After a series of events during the Civil War (apart from the personal side, he founded the magazine "Hora de España", of which he would be the only cartoonist), he went to Mexico, exiled until 1952, when he decided to return to Europe and spend a year traveling around Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome, and then returned to Mexico. In 1956 he settled in the Italian capital, where he met again with the great masters. In 1960 he finally returned to Spain: he visited the Prado Museum in Madrid and some friends organized an exhibition for him. During this decade he made several trips to Spain, in addition to setting up his studio in Barcelona, and also to Europe. His work could be seen in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Paris..., and his work has been recognized with outstanding mentions: Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1985, opening of a museum dedicated to his work in Murcia in 1990, National Prize of Plastic Arts in 1997, etc. His creations are kept in important private collections (in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Rome, Paris, Murcia...) and outstanding institutions, apart from the one dedicated exclusively to his figure, such as the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo Collection, the Museum of Fine Arts in Murcia.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Albi 1864 - 1901 Saint-André-du-Bois, attributed Mademoiselle Lander Watercolour on paper 19.5 x 14 cm, with frame 57.5 x 47.5 cm Monogrammed lower right This work depicts the French actress and entertainer Marcelle Lender (1861-1926), who was portrayed several times by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It is said that the painter and graphic artist went to the operetta Chilpéric twenty times in 1895 to see her. Here you can see a glimpse of the actress as she leans down towards the audience during a song. Her incredible stage presence is rendered dynamically by the colourful contours. During his time as a bohemian, Toulouse-Lautrec selected motifs from the entertainment venues of Paris, which gave lithography a boost as a graphic technique. He depicted central personalities and urban scenes of the Belle Époque, focussing on individual people, sometimes in a caricature-like manner, thus demonstrating his self-perception as a portraitist. His colour lithographs, in which he skilfully used colour accents, have a high recognition value. This could be a preparatory drawing for the well-known lithograph "Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, en buste" by Toulouse-Lautrec, which was published in the German magazine PAN (Volume I, No. 3, October 1895), one of the most important art journals of the late 19th century. Eight plates were used, one plate per colour, although this was technically difficult to implement. Prints can be found in numerous important collections, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (inv. no. 49.55.163) or the Museum of Modern Art (inv. no. 149.1946). Literature: Jean Adhémar, Toulouse-Lautrec. His Complete Lithographs and Drypoints, New York 1965, cat. no. 131. Adriani Götz, Toulouse-Lautrec. Das gesamte graphische Werk. Bildstudien und Gemälde, Dumont 2005, WVZ no. 115 b. Wolfgang Wittrock, Toulouse-Lautrec. The Complete Prints, London 1985, cat. no. 99.
