FRANCISCO PONS ARNAU Valencia (1886) / Madrid (1955) "The girl with the pitcher", 1928 Oil on canvas Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Bibliography: - Perez Rojas, FJ, From the decline of the great masters to the Valencian artistic youth (1912-1927), exhibition catalogue, Valencia, 2016, cat. 195, p. 82. Exhibitions: - Pons Arnau 1886-1953, exhibition catalogue, Ansorena Gallery, Madrid, 1987, cat. #9; - Perez Rojas, FJ, From the decline of the great masters to the Valencian artistic youth (1912-1927), exhibition catalogue, Valencia, 2016, cat. 195, p. 82. Francisco Pons Arnau was one of Joaquin Sorolla's main disciples, also becoming his son-in-law when he married his daughter Maria de Sorolla. Although landscapes abound in his production, he also cultivated portraiture, developing in this genre a type of work of great sensuality and exquisiteness that links him to Modernism and Art Deco. An example of this is this beautiful canvas of The Wench of the Pitcher, in which the painter demonstrates his interest in the treatment of light and the brightness of colors, achieving transparencies and enamelled surfaces that show the influence of Symbolism. His canvases of female figures, as defined by the chronicles of the time, have a character of “modern worldliness” but, in this case, the chic woman disappears and the protagonist is a young racial woman with a deep and disturbing gaze, much closer to the symbolist aesthetic. As in most of his production, in this work he demonstrates his skill in representing things, their “qualities”, as can be seen in the shiny and enameled texture of the jug that the girl holds, and also the type of lighting. modern “Valencian style”, in which the silhouette of the female model is silhouetted against the whitewashed wall in the background. Measurements: 76 x 70 cm.
