"Mosca Erótica 5 Mouche Érotique" (Erotic Fly)Mixed media on paper. Signed and dated in 1967 in Cadaqués. On the back, signed again, dated 1967 in Cadaqués, and titled "Mosca Erótica 5 Mouche Érotique". On the back, there are two labels from art gallery exhibitions in Barcelona in 1987 and 1994.44 x 61 cm.Joan Ponç was a renowned Catalan painter who stands out as one of the artists that is most representative of the early postwar avant-garde movements. His creations are characterised by a visually impactful style, featuring a highly distinctive creative imagination. He played a key role in fostering initiatives like the embryonic magazine "Algol" in 1946. Ponç was also one of the founders, alongside Brossa and Tàpies, among others, of the Dau al Set group, which grew up around a magazine of the same name of which he was the director. He was on friendly terms with Dalí and Miró.After his first solo exhibition at the Arte de Bilbao Hall in 1946, he showcased his work in numerous European galleries. He exhibited at Staempfli in New York (1966) and the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo, Brazil, where he resided from 1953 to 1962, having fled the Franco dictatorship.The MACBA, which holds numerous paintings, drawings, engravings, and other graphic materials by the master in its collection, notes in its artist profile that "his painting constitutes a fascinating universe populated by unique beings, ranging from grotesque and diabolical to tortured and premonitory, enabling him to explore the darkest realms of the human psyche."For further information, narrated in the first person and with a touch of irony, we recommend reading Joan Ponç's autobiography, available for download on the official website of the Associació Joan Ponç.Reference bibliography:- Associació Joan Ponç.

"Peasant Woman on Horseback"Oil on canvas. Signed.On the back some patches can be seen which are the result of some minor restoration.77,5 x 55,5 cm.Carlos Vázquez Úbeda was a prominent Spanish painter, illustrator, and poster artist, renowned for his creations in the genres of costumbrismo (depicting local customs) and landscape.This "Hijo predilecto" (Favorite Son) of Ciudad Real was a disciple of the landscape artist Carlos Haes, whom he met at the National School of San Fernando in Madrid, and the portrait painter Léon Bonnat, following the classes he received in Paris, where he resided between 1889 and 1898.As reported by the Prado Museum, he "regularly sent his works to national and foreign competitions," winning numerous awards and decorations. Highlights of these are the first place medal he received at the Exhibition of Fine Arts and Artistic Industries of Barcelona in 1898, the first place medal in 1910 from the National School of Fine Arts in Madrid for "El torero herido" (The Wounded Bullfighter), one of his most well-known paintings, currently kept in the Prado (inv. P006803). He also received the prestigious gold medal in 1913 at the Salon de Paris for "Luna de miel en Anso" (Honeymoon in Anso), now housed in The Hispanic Museum (inv. A307).Another painting to highlight is "Recolección de higos chumbos en Granada" (Harvesting Prickly Pears in Granada) (c. 1901, inv. P006307), where he employs a contrapuntal perspective, which is similar to that of the painting we have here. Reference bibliography:- Museo del Prado.

"Moulin Rouge"Original lithographic poster. Plate signed. Printer Chaix. (Encres Lorilleux. Rue Bergère, 20. Paris. 19.008.97.)81 x 58.8 cm.The Carnavalet Museum - Histoire de Paris has another, larger-format copy of this poster, dated 1897, with inventory number AFF1939. Like this one, it is also signed in the plate: "ROEDEL" and printed by Chaix.The poster we have here retains the unprinted part reserved for the specific announcement of events and their dates.Auguste Roedel was a French poster artist, designer, illustrator, and caricaturist who, at the age of just 20, began frequenting bars and cabarets and designing posters. In 1885, he was the first to represent the famous cancan dancer La Goulue. He worked as a caricaturist for newspapers such as "Le Courrier français" or "L'Estampe moderne," and four of his creations were reproduced in "Les Maîtres de l'affiche," a monthly publication which was in existence between 1895 and 1900 and which aimed to showcase the most beautiful posters by leading French and foreign artists of the time. The magazine was created by the poster master Jules Chéret, with whom Roedel had worked since 1890, and who was the artistic director of the press that printed this poster: Imprimerie Chaix. Starting in 1895, he also became the official poster artist for the Moulin Rouge.He was the director of the magazine "La Vache enragée," launched by his friend and collaborator Adolphe Léon Willette. He died suddenly in 1900 due to absinthe abuse.
