Description
APEL.LES FENOSA FLORENSA (Barcelona, 1899 - Paris, 1988).
"Jeunes filles à la lessive", 1933.
Patinated terracotta plaque.
Work included in the catalogue of the Fundació Apel.les Fenosa: cat.no. 0145 ("Jeunes filles à la lessive". Provenance: Palmira Fenosa Coll.: Carlota Rotger, La Floresta).
Size: 30 x 9 x 7 cm.
Two girls enjoy their nakedness while hanging up their clothes and lying in the sun, recreating the joie de vivre of Mediterranean roots, which Apel.les Fenosa adopted for sculpture, modernising canons and language.
Trained with Enric Casanovas, Fenosa travelled to Paris for the first time in 1921. There he held a solo exhibition in 1925, which was presented by Max Jacob. Returning to Barcelona in 1929, he held exhibitions at the Sala Parés in 1930, 1933 and 1936. At the end of the Civil War he moved back to Paris in 1939, where he definitively integrated into his artistic life. There he met great intellectuals of the time such as Theóphile Briand, Cocteau, Paul Éluard, Colette, Henri Michaux, Supervielle, Genet and Tzara, and even had a notorious romance with Coco Chanel. During these years his art discovered a vegetal world, populated by flaming female figures, which retain the fresh imprint of the artist's fingers. His works are daughters of the earth, from which they emerge, the fruit of imagination, with all their wild and natural character. He had repeated solo exhibitions at the Parisian galleries Zborowsky and Jacques Dubourg, as well as at the Hanover Gallery in London (1954), the Paul Rosenberg Gallery in New York (1960 and 1961), in Tokyo (1966 and 1981) and Madrid (1967 and 1976), among other cities. He also took part in major group exhibitions such as the Salons de Mai and de Jeune Sculpture in Paris, the Antwerp Biennale, the International Exhibition of the Musée Rodin, the Carrara Biennale, the Contemporary French Sculpture Exhibition of the Ecole de Paris, the Petit Bronze, etc. In 1980 the Musée Rodin devoted an anthological exhibition to him. He also worked in portraiture, painting friends and colleagues. In France he made several monuments, such as the Oradour-sur-Glane monument and the sphinx emblem of the Conseil Constitutionnel in Paris. He is currently represented in the foundation that bears his name in El Vendrell (Tarragona), the Patio Herreriano Museum in Valladolid, the National Library in Madrid, the Rodin Museum in Paris and the Palau de la Virreina in Barcelona, among others.
