OSCAR DOMÍNGUEZ PALAZÓN (La Laguna, Tenerife, 1906 - Paris, 1957). "Nature morte aux fruits", 1945. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. With label of the Sala Parés on the back. Attached certificate issued by Ana Mª Vázquez de Parga. Measurements: 30 x 40,5 cm; 58 x 68 cm (frame). Still life of Óscar Domínguez, belonging to his maturity stage. With boldness, the Canary painter reduces the world to a puzzle of cut fragments, reduced to elementary forms and applications of color by planes. Thus, plates and fountains are reduced to circles and ovals, on which cherries and rounded oranges rest. The window is a rectangle that holds a solid section of sea and a piece of sky. A curtain falls with vertical lines like stakes. The cleanness of the forms is enhanced by the use of a thick black line. It is worth mentioning that the work is certified by Ana Vázquez de Parga, who has made a great study of the works of Oscar Domínguez, highlighting her participation as curator of the exhibition "Oscar Domínguez 1926-1957, a retrospective". Domínguez belonged to the Generation of 1927, and invented the decalcomania, a pictorial technique that consists of applying black gouache on a piece of paper, which is placed on top of another sheet on which a light pressure is exerted, to finally peel off both papers before they dry. In 1927, on family business, Domínguez traveled to Paris for the first time. He returned the following year and came into contact with the surrealist movement, and especially with its central figure, André Breton. This group would mark his career until he was expelled for approaching Picasso's painting. He made his individual debut in 1933, at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. In 1935 he participated in the Surrealist Exhibition of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where he signed the manifesto "Du temps que les surréalistes aviaient raison". Also important are his surrealist objects, some of which he exhibited in Paris, at the Exposition Surréaliste d'Objets de la Galerie Charles Ratton in 1936. Because of the Civil War he went into exile in France, spending practically the rest of his days in the capital. The artist lived the last years of his life as a prisoner of madness after suffering from acromegaly, a degenerative disease that deformed his physique and made his skull grow extraordinarily. On New Year's Eve 1957 he committed suicide in Paris, completely drunk, opening his veins in the bathroom of a party given by his friend, the Viscountess of Noaffles. Domínguez is today considered one of the world's greatest exponents of the Spanish historical avant-garde that developed in Paris during the first decades of the 20th century. In general, the figures and objects that make up his surrealist works contain magical, mechanistic and sexual references, many of them set in the Canary Islands landscape despite the fact that he lived most of his life in Paris. The most important contribution that Óscar Domínguez made to surrealism was the invention of decalcomania or decalcomania, a technique in which psychic automatism played an absolute leading role. This procedure had a magnificent acceptance among the surrealists who quickly adopted it and later influenced abstract expressionist painting. Decalcomania consists of introducing liquid black gouache between two sheets of paper by pressing them in an uncontrolled way. Another of his contributions to the surrealist movement was the theory of the petrification of time through which he began to introduce crystallized forms and structures of angular networks in his compositions. There are petrifactions of this style in the paintings of René Magritte.

Historisch bedeutendes Miniaturportrait-Emsemble der persischen Herrscherfamilie des 19. Jahrhunderts - Height: 15.7 cm. Width: 11.5 cm. Probably after the Anglo-Persian peace treaty of 1857. Enclosed CITES document, valid for commercial purposes in the EU. Miniature ensemble, symmetrically composed on an oval ivory ground. Shown are four pairs of Persian dignitaries - or the Shah's family. The miniature portraits, which are also oval, surround a central picture depicting a throne room; the Shah is seated here in an elevated position, with a large group of dignitaries in oriental dress on either side. A golden arch spans the throne, with two peacocks above it, identifying this seat of power as the Persian peacock throne. Among those gathered, a figure in European uniform stands out on the left, wearing white trousers with boots, a blue skirt, a red sash and a black tricorn hat. This is probably an English officer or envoy, possibly the person for whom the miniature was commissioned, perhaps as a farewell gift from the Persian court. It could also be a gift from the sitter to the court. The painting style shows the tradition of Persian miniature painting, but in any case the hand of a European miniature painter. The faces are captured with incredible delicacy, above all with photographic accuracy and individual liveliness. The portrait above probably depicts the Shah, headdress in the form of a mitre, holding a staff. The other portraits possibly show the sons or their wives, the men in courtly dress, according to the tradition of earlier miniatures with a flower in their hand, the ladies richly adorned in a correspondingly courtly manner. Although the figures have not yet been identified, the portrait ensemble is historically extremely important for the history of Persia in the 19th century, possibly created after the Peace of Paris in 1857, which ended the British-Persian War. Miniature painting on ivory, with the use of gold painting. Covered by slightly curved cut crystal glass. A.R. (14023114) (11)
