SANTIAGO RUSIÑOL (1861-1931)"Girona antiga", ca.1908.Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Bibliography:-COLL, Isabel, "Rusiñol". Sabadell: Ausa, 1992 (repr. p. 376). LAPLANA, Josep de C., Santiago Rusiñol. El pintor, l'home. Barcelona: L'Abadia de Montserrat, 1995 (no. 14.9).-LAPLANA, Josep de C., The painting of Santiago Rusiñol. Obra completa. Catàleg sistemàtic. Barcelona: Mediterrània, 2004 (cat. no. 14.1.12, p. 118, repr.).Exhibitions:-1981 - "Pintors de Fama", Sala Parés, Barcelona (cat.núm.18: Girona antiga).-2021 - "Travellers", Sala Parés, Barcelona (cat. no. 18: Girona antiga).Size: 76,5 x 72,5 cm; 89 x 85 cm (frame).The city of Girona and the villages of the region made a deep impression on Santiago Rusiñol. He painted the city from various perspectives, giving priority to its gardens and side views of the cathedral, as in the magnificent painting shown here. The solemn stone architecture and the foliage that meanders between the parapets and grows in groves of pines and cypresses form an autumnal scene of deep emotion. The low evening light subtly toasts the leaves, unfurling wide shades of emerald green to sienna. The cathedral is silhouetted in the distance, culminating a scene. Rusiñol gave pre-eminence to the area of the city walls, or to the old quarter and the old houses on its perimeter. This type of painting was a brilliant correlate of the articles Rusiñol published as a writer (for example, in "Girona de piedra", 1912).A painter, writer and playwright in Catalan, Rusiñol was one of the main ideologists of the Catalan modernist movement. He trained as a disciple of Tomás Moragas and frequented the Centre of Watercolourists, of which he was one of the founders. He made his debut in 1884 at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, together with his friends Ramón Casas and Enric Clarasó. In those years he made a carriage trip around Catalonia with Casas, taking sketches of types and landscapes. The year 1888 marked a turning point in his career, as he began three new activities: he published some writings in "La Vanguardia", took part in the Paris Salon and held his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. The following year, 1889, Rusiñol settled in Paris, in the Montmartre district, with Utrillo, Clarasó and Canudas. He attended the academy of the painter Henri Gervex, and completed his training with Puvis de Chavannes and Carrière. The ruralism he had adopted in Barcelona disappeared and his style evolved towards naturalism. He also came closer to the thematic, but not technical, approaches of the Impressionists, as well as to their desire to capture a fleeting snapshot. In 1890 he established a relationship with Sitges, where he painted some of his first courtyards and gardens, a theme that would define his later style. That same year he held his first exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Casas and Clarasó. In 1890 he returned to Paris with Casas and Utrillo. At this time he concentrated on depicting the entertainment venues of the area, such as the Moulin de la Galette, which featured in many of his paintings. However, in 1893 he left his studio in Montmartre and moved to the Ile Saint-Louis. On his return he exhibited the paintings he produced on this trip in what was to be his first one-man show at the Salle Parés. In 1908 he was awarded the medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. He is represented in the Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Museo Camón Aznar in Zaragoza and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, among others.
MIGUEL ORTIZ BERROCAL (Villanueva de Algaidas, Málaga, 1933 - Antequera, Málaga, 2006)."Mini David", c.1960.Nickel-plated bronze and bronze bath on the genitals. Serial No. 6521.Provenance: Private Collection of Luis García Berlanga.Signed on the right arm.Measurements: 13,7 x 5 cm.Round sculpture made up of numerous pieces in nickel-plated bronze, which are joined together creating a piece of figurative aesthetics, where the artist has grouped a set of angular shapes. The piece represents a male torso whose title refers to the biblical character David, who defeated the giant Goliath. In addition to being a shepherd, David could play the harp. So he went to serve King Saul, who at that time was fighting against the Philistines. There he confronted the giant Goliath, whom he killed with a stone thrown from his sling. The stone hit him in the forehead and Goliath fell to the ground. With the giant's sword, David cut off his head.Berrocal began his training at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid, where he was a pupil of Ángel Ferrant. He then went on to the San Fernando School of Fine Arts, where he was a pupil of Ramón Stolz. He complemented his training with work as a draughtsman in the studio of the architect Casto Fernández Shaw and as an assistant to several architects in Rome between 1952 and 1954. During his stay in Paris in 1955, he finally decided to devote himself to sculpture. His early works show the influence of Chillida, while at the same time denoting his preference for articulated and detachable forms in bronze. The difficulty involved in making each of his sculptures led him to decide to produce them in series. With this idea in mind, he produced two hundred copies of the sculpture "Maria de la O", for which he received the prize for sculpture at the Paris Biennale and which was later acquired by the MOMA in New York. In 1966 he settled permanently in Verona, and from 1968 he alternated his work between monumental and small-scale works. Together with several gallery owners, he founded the Società Multicétera, the first industry of small sculptures. He has exhibited in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United States, received the gold medal of the Bronze of Padua, the Grand Prize of Honour at the Brazil Biennial, and was named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government. He has sculptures in public places in Korea, Bordeaux, Denmark and Switzerland, as well as in various places in Spain. He is represented in the Museums of Modern Art in New York and Paris, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, the Juan March Foundation in Madrid, the National Gallery in Rome and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

Papaioannou, Yannis Spyropoulos - Monograph, Yannis and Zoe Spyropoulos Foundation, Athens 2010, no. 480, 370 (listed), p. 220 (illustrated).A powerful mixture of simplicity and sophistication and a wise conciliation between gestural brushwork and sturdy compositional structure, this captivating work offers a commanding display of technical discipline and intuitive expression. Planes, surfaces and textures are meticulously analysed by dark structural outlines, while intense counterbalancing forces and energetic shapes are articulated into a serene and robust geometrical structure set in motion by circular gestural marks that endow the composition with an improvised yet coherent inner rhythm.1 'The Greek scenery with its architecture of masonry fences, arches, courtyards and dry stone walls, observed from afar as outlined geometrical shapes, constituted the onset of visual stimulation before becoming a painterly proposal.'2This beautiful canvas also reflects Spyropoulos' deep interest in Byzantine art. Professor C. Christou notes: 'The golden-yellow colour that comes to dominate the work of Spyropoulos by 1960 and which in essence reflects nothing more than the presence of sunlight, or rather Greek light, is something he finds around and within himself, in the past from which he hails and the present where he belongs. It reveals the influence of the Byzantine icon painting he grew up with and his familiarity with the Greek light under which he lives, while at the same time his work expresses the intricate nature of modern artistic creation.'3Yiannis Spyropoulos was the first Greek painter who, while residing permanently in Greece, managed to attain an illustrious international career, highlighted by his participation in the 1960 Venice Biennale, where he was awarded the UNESCO prize. His works, which represent the most advanced and mature aspect of Greek abstraction, have been included in prestigious private collections around the globe and exhibited at important European and American museums of modern art.41 See E.

Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika (Greek, 1906-1994)Palette landscape signé 'Ghika' (en bas à gauche); signé et porte le cachet (en bas à droite)acrylique sur papier contrecollé sur toile44.5 x 76cm (17 1/2 x 29 15/16in).Peint vers 1957-1961.signed (lower left); signed and stamped (lower right) acrylic on paper laid on canvasFootnotes:LittératureK.C. Valkana, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghika, His Painting Oeuvre, Benaki Museum, Athens 2011, no. 253, p. 291 (catalogued and illustrated).Across twisted diagonals and tangled verticals fall the shapes of acanthuses, thistles and thorns, while the crooked stone walls that inform so much of the Greek landscape, seem to thrive on the rugged terrain.1 Both the natural and the manmade environment are in a state of perpetual becoming, constantly expanding and contacting, so that the whole composition is immersed in a perpetually changing and revived atmosphere. As the schematic undulations of the landscape ascend in petrified waves, the pictorial space shrinks and the horizontal tilts into the vertical, echoing the Byzantine backgrounds that tend to unfold upwards instead of receding in depth. 1 See P.
