Est: €20,000 - €25,000
JOSÉ MANUEL BROTO GIMENO (Zaragoza, 1949). "The Cross. Paris, 1988. Acrylic and collage on canvas. Signed and dated on the back. With label on the back from the Galeria Maeght in Barcelona. Provenance: Important Spanish Collection. Sizes: 230 x 230 cm. At the end of the eighties, Broto's work is characterised by his preference for large formats, in which he puts diffuse and organic forms in dialogue with geometric elements. In this magnificent painting, the insertion of the cross in a space with no apparent limits (suggesting spiritual immensity) is not only a formal device. It foreshadows, to a certain extent, the series that Broto would dedicate to Saint John of the Cross and Spanish mysticism. Broto's abstraction knows different periods, but in all of them, his attractive compositions are the fruit of a multi-layered, symbolic and plastic work. Textures and colours, concept and imagination were made to transform space into an abyss. Certainly, space becomes abysmal in this painting, magnetising the spectator. An Aragonese painter framed within the new abstraction of the seventies, he is considered one of the most significant figures of contemporary Spanish painting. José Manuel Broto studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Zaragoza, and exhibited his work for the first time in 1968, showing a style in line with constructivism. In 1972 he moved to Barcelona, where he founded the group Trama. However, after the dissolution of the group, Broto moved into a language close to abstract expressionism, incorporating a landscape of primitive nature into his work. He showed these new works in his first solo exhibition in Paris, held in 1984 at the Adrien Maeght gallery. Since 1985 he has lived and worked in Paris. Settled in Paris, he soon overcame the so-called "abstract impressionism" of the early eighties and freed himself from the elements which, after his trip to Italy (1982), were added to his iconographic and chromatic repertoire, giving rise to a series of paintings with a markedly romantic tone. After ten years in the French capital, during which he coincided with other Spanish artists such as Barceló, Campano and Sicilia, he moved to Mallorca. With the use of large formats, the next step in his work is the recovery of an abstraction with a strong chromatic content and the advance in the spatial definition of his canvases, as shown in Capricho (1987) and La misión (1988). He has been awarded the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas (1995), in 1997 he was awarded the ARCO Prize by the Critics' Association, and in 2003 the Aragón Goya Prize for Engraving. In 1995 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca, the FRAC (Midi-Pyrénées, France), the Chase Manhattan Bank Collection in New York, the Juan March Foundation, the Reina Sofía, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Fond National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the Kampo Collection in Tokyo, the Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona, the DOVE Collection in Zurich, the Ateneum in Helsinki, the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation in Amsterdam, the Maeght Collection in France, the La Caixa Collection in Barcelona, the Preussag Collection in Hanover and the IVAM in Valencia.

JOSÉ MANUEL BROTO GIMENO (Zaragoza, 1949). "Hierros", 2000. Acrylic on canvas and wood. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Size: 100 x 100 cm. Aragonese painter framed within the new abstraction of the seventies, being considered as one of the most significant figures of contemporary Spanish painting, José Manuel Broto articulates his plastic language using colour, modulating it in subtle tonal variations that evoke musical symphonies. The artistic influences received throughout his career led him towards an abstraction close to artists such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Sam Francis, based on lyricism and, in some cases, the sublime. The path opened up by Antoni Tàpies, who shunned the conceptual to practise a material art based on the essentiality of painting, was fundamental for him. Thus, in this work, Broto uses an abstract language, based on irregular geometry, free both in its layout and in its textures and colours. The pictorial forms are the fruit of duality, in that they are resolved by means of a thought-out composition and also by experimentation. The result is an image that transcends, indicating to the spectator that we are dealing with forms, ideas or suggestions that go beyond the boundaries of the purely pictorial. José Manuel Broto studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Zaragoza, and exhibited his work for the first time in 1968 (Galdeano gallery), showing a style in line with constructivism. In 1972 he moved to Barcelona, where he founded the group Trama together with Javier Rubio, Xavier Grau and Gonzalo Tena. With this group he presented his work in 1976 at the Maeght gallery in Barcelona, with the support of Antonio Tàpies. Trama also published an art magazine of the same name, of which, however, only two issues appeared (1976-1977). However, after the dissolution of the group, Broto moved towards a language close to abstract expressionism, which incorporated a primitive natural landscape into his work. He showed these new works in his first solo exhibition in Paris, held in 1984 at the Adrien Maeght gallery. The following year he left Barcelona and settled in the French capital, where he spent ten years and coincided with other Spanish artists such as Barceló, Campano and Sicilia. During his Parisian period Broto replaced the romantic themes with more austere and abstract forms, and his work became filled with organic forms related to the ascetic and mystical tradition. In the mid-1980s he returned to Spain, this time settling in Mallorca. Already a mature artist, he practises a neo-abstraction directly linked to the Catalan school of the seventies, influenced in its origins by the aesthetic and plastic principles of the French group Soporte/Superficie, which in 1966 called for a return to painting after the disorder produced by the conceptual movements. From 1998 onwards, his range of themes broadened to include spatial figures, transparencies, atmospheric forms, etc., combined with a colourful treatment and a rigorous structure. Throughout his career, Broto has held numerous exhibitions, and has been awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts (1995), the ARCO Prize of the Critics' Association (1997) and the Aragón Goya Prize for Engraving (2003). In 1995 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca, the FRAC (Midi-Pyrénées, France), the Chase Manhattan Bank Collection in New York, the Juan March Foundation, the Reina Sofía, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Fond National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the Kampo Collection in Tokyo, the Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona, the DOVE Collection in Zurich, the Ateneum in Helsinki, the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation in Amsterdam, the Maeght in France, the La Caixa Collection in Barcelona, the Preussag in Hanover and the IVAM in Valencia.

JOSÉ MANUEL BROTO (Zaragoza, 1949). Untitled, 1986. Acrylic on canvas. Signed, dated and located (Paris) on the back. Size: 95 x 130 cm; 97 x 132 cm (frame).

JOSÉ MANUEL BROTO (Zaragoza, 1949). Untitled, 1980. Oil on canvas. With slight restorations. Signed and dated on the back. Size: 195 x 130 cm; 199 x 133 cm (frame). The eighties is an important period in Broto's artistic career, as he abandoned acrylic painting for oil painting, thus exploring all the expressive possibilities of colour through compositions that often start from chance. An example of this is this piece, which is closely related in terms of technique and chromatic range to the painting entitled "Vistas", also from 1980 and currently in the collection of the Fundación Suñol. With an image of a gestural nature, the author does not limit himself to a composition, but goes further, indicating to the spectator that it is about forms, ideas or suggestions that go beyond the frontiers of the purely pictorial, a gestural stroke associated with colour as a plastic value of substance. During the eighties, Broto's work was characterised by his preference for large formats, in which he puts diffuse and organic forms in dialogue with geometric elements, as can be seen in this work where different elements seem to cohabit in an indeterminate and inconcrete space. An Aragonese painter framed within the new abstraction of the seventies, he is considered one of the most significant figures of contemporary Spanish painting. José Manuel Broto studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Zaragoza, and exhibited his work for the first time in 1968, showing a style in line with constructivism. In 1972 he moved to Barcelona, where he founded the group Trama. However, after the dissolution of the group, Broto moved into a language close to abstract expressionism, incorporating a landscape of primitive nature into his work. He showed these new works in his first solo exhibition in Paris, held in 1984 at the Adrien Maeght gallery. Since 1985 he has lived and worked in Paris. Settled in Paris, he soon overcame the so-called "abstract impressionism" of the early eighties and freed himself from the elements which, after his trip to Italy (1982), were added to his iconographic and chromatic repertoire, giving rise to a series of paintings with a markedly romantic tone. After ten years in the French capital, during which he coincided with other Spanish artists such as Barceló, Campano and Sicilia, he moved to Mallorca. With the use of large formats, the next step in his work is the recovery of an abstraction with a strong chromatic content and the advance in the spatial definition of his canvases, as shown in Capricho (1987) and La misión (1988). He has been awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts (1995), in 1997 he was awarded the ARCO Prize by the Critics' Association, and in 2003 the Aragón Goya Prize for Engraving. In 1995 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him. He is currently represented in the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca, the FRAC (Midi-Pyrénées, France), the Chase Manhattan Bank Collection in New York, the Juan March Foundation, the Reina Sofía, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Fond National d'Art Contemporain in Paris, the Kampo Collection in Tokyo, the Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona, the DOVE Collection in Zurich, the Ateneum in Helsinki, the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation in Amsterdam, the Maeght in France, the La Caixa Collection in Barcelona, the Preussag in Hanover and the IVAM in Valencia.

Est: €8,000 - €9,000
JOSÉ MANUEL BROTO GIMENO (Zaragoza, 1949). "Hierros", 2000. Acrylic on canvas and wood. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Size: 100 x 100 cm. Aragonese painter framed within the new abstraction of the seventies, being considered as one of the most significant figures of contemporary Spanish painting, José Manuel Broto articulates his plastic language using colour, modulating it in subtle tonal variations that evoke musical symphonies. The artistic influences received throughout his career led him towards an abstraction close to artists such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Sam Francis, based on lyricism and, in some cases, the sublime. The path opened up by Antoni Tàpies, who shunned the conceptual to practise a material art based on the essentiality of painting, was fundamental for him. Thus, in this work, Broto uses an abstract language, based on irregular geometry, free both in its layout and in its textures and colours. The pictorial forms are the fruit of duality, in that they are resolved by means of a thought-out composition and also by experimentation. The result is an image that transcends, indicating to the spectator that we are dealing with forms, ideas or suggestions that go beyond the boundaries of the purely pictorial. José Manuel Broto studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Zaragoza, and exhibited his work for the first time in 1968 (Galdeano gallery), showing a style in line with constructivism. In 1972 he moved to Barcelona, where he founded the group Trama together with Javier Rubio, Xavier Grau and Gonzalo Tena. With this group he presented his work in 1976 at the Maeght gallery in Barcelona, with the support of Antonio Tàpies. Trama also published an art magazine of the same name, of which, however, only two issues appeared (1976-1977). However, after the dissolution of the group, Broto moved towards a language close to abstract expressionism, which incorporated a primitive natural landscape into his work. He showed these new works in his first solo exhibition in Paris, held in 1984 at the Adrien Maeght gallery. The following year he left Barcelona and settled in the French capital, where he spent ten years and coincided with other Spanish artists such as Barceló, Campano and Sicilia. During his Parisian period Broto replaced the romantic themes with more austere and abstract forms, and his work became filled with organic forms related to the ascetic and mystical tradition. In the mid-1980s he returned to Spain, this time settling in Mallorca. Already a mature artist, he practises a neo-abstraction directly linked to the Catalan school of the seventies, influenced in its origins by the aesthetic and plastic principles of the French group Soporte/Superficie, which in 1966 called for a return to painting after the disorder produced by the conceptual movements. From 1998 onwards, his range of themes broadened to include spatial figures, transparencies, atmospheric forms, etc., combined with a colourful treatment and a rigorous structure. Throughout his career, Broto has held numerous exhibitions, and has been awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts (1995), the ARCO Prize of the Critics' Association (1997) and the Aragón Goya Prize for Engraving (2003). In 1995 the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him.
