FRANCISCO GIMENO I ARASA (Tortosa, Tarragona, 1858 - Barcelona, 1927). "Portrait of Caterina Messenger. Charcoal on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 65 x 45 cm; 91 x 72 cm (frame). Gimeno portrayed himself in numerous occasions, especially towards the end of his life. His gray and woolly beard, disarranged, lengthens in this self-portrait some features that by themselves are already stylized. The sidelong glance, the wrinkles that furrow the skin and the olive tone of the face make up an image that beats vividly and expressively, delving into his psychology. It is reminiscent of Rembrandt's subjugating self-portraits. Painter and draftsman, Francesc Gimeno began his training in Tortosa at the age of fourteen. In 1880 he settled in Barcelona and worked as a painter and decorator. At this time, in the face of the undisputed triumph of modernist painting, Gimeno not only kept away from the Catalan artistic environment, but insisted on following in the footsteps of the painters of the Golden Age. Thus, when the usual destination for painters used to be Paris, he traveled to Madrid in 1884. There he worked with Carlos de Haes, master of realist landscape painting, and devoted himself to studying the works of the Prado Museum, especially those of Velázquez. On his return to Barcelona in 1889, he suddenly rejected the contracts offered to him, and devoted himself once again to decorative painting. Gimeno remained almost always on the fringes of the commercial art world. During most of his life, away from official circles, he painted what was closest to him, his family and himself, without ever neglecting the landscape. He participated in some exhibitions, winning prizes such as honorary diplomas in the Barcelona exhibition of 1894 and the National Exhibition of Madrid in 1904, but his works were frequently rejected by the juries. The critics and the public, accustomed to another type of painting, also repudiated his expressive realism, the proletarian theme and his strong and thick brushstroke. Disillusioned, he accentuated his marginalization with respect to the art world and society in general, and that open, passionate and full of illusion young man became a closed, disheveled and self-marginalized man. In spite of everything, Gimeno also had a small circle of admirers. The critic Romà Jori, the painter Ignasi Mallol and the gallery owner Josep Dalmau organized the painter's first solo exhibition in 1915. The exhibition was a critical success and for the first time his artistic work was recognized. This marked the beginning of the artist's last stage; some sponsorships appeared that freed Gimeno from his work as a decorative painter and, from then on, he carried out several landscape campaigns. The recognition of Gimeno's work grew in the last years of his life until it culminated in the homage that, at Christmas 1925, was dedicated to him in the Sala Parés. The MACBA dedicated an exhibition to him in 1978, and in 2006 the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña held the first truly anthological exhibition dedicated to his work. Gimeno is represented in the Prado Museum, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Montserrat Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Francisco Godía Foundation and the J. Sala collection, as well as in several important private collections. The scenes painted by Gimeno represent the raw reality, without aesthetic concessions, and reveal an extraordinary painter and draftsman. His work, of a direct and transgressive realism, stood out above all for its expressiveness, which dominates over the rest of the plastic values. Gimeno always considered himself as a worker, he never hid his condition of worker, and neither his figure nor his work fit in the bourgeois environments and artistic circles of the time.

Measurements: 13 x 20 cm; 32 x 38 cm (frame). Formed within the academic style of the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos de Valencia, renouncing the world of the avant-garde. He would complete his training at the School of San Fernando in Madrid, the only one that allowed, at that time, a professorship. In this way, he continued to train and interact with other artists such as Pinazo, Cubells, Benedito or Adsuara. From his stay and training in Madrid, he learns the incursions into geometrism and the simplification of the planes in the composition, reminiscent of cubism. In 1934 he moved to Barcelona, where he began to live from his work as a painter. He broadened his training at the "Cercle de San Lluc", imprinting himself with the Catalan landscapes of the mid-nineteenth century, typical of Martí Alsina.

The critics and the public, accustomed to another type of painting, also repudiated his expressive realism, the proletarian theme and his strong and thick brushstroke. Disillusioned, he accentuated his marginalization with respect to the art world and society in general, and that open, passionate and full of illusion young man became a closed, disheveled and self-marginalized man. In spite of everything, Gimeno also had a small circle of admirers. The critic Romà Jori, the painter Ignasi Mallol and the gallery owner Josep Dalmau organized the painter's first solo exhibition in 1915. The exhibition was a critical success and for the first time his artistic work was recognized. This marked the beginning of the artist's last stage; some sponsorships appeared that freed Gimeno from his work as a decorative painter and, from then on, he carried out several landscape campaigns. The recognition of Gimeno's work grew in the last years of his life until it culminated in the homage that, at Christmas 1925, was dedicated to him in the Sala Parés. The MACBA dedicated an exhibition to him in 1978, and in 2006 the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña held the first truly anthological exhibition dedicated to his work. Gimeno is represented in the Prado Museum, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Montserrat Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Francisco Godía Foundation and the J. Sala collection, as well as in several important private collections. The scenes painted by Gimeno represent the raw reality, without aesthetic concessions, and reveal an extraordinary painter and draftsman. His work, of a direct and transgressive realism, stood out above all for its expressiveness, which dominates over the rest of the plastic values. Gimeno always considered himself as a worker, he never hid his condition of worker, and neither his figure nor his work fit in the bourgeois environments and artistic circles of the time.

FRANCESC GIMENO I ARASA (Tortosa, Tarragona, 1858 - Barcelona, 1927). "Girona", ca.1916. Oil on canvas glued to cardboard. Signed in the lower right corner. Work published in "El pintor Gimeno", by Joan Mates, ed.Ausa, 1989. pg 463. Measurements: 26 x 24 cm; 45 x 42,5 cm (frame). Painter and draftsman, Francesc Gimeno began his training in Tortosa at the age of fourteen. In 1880 he settled in Barcelona and alternated his work as a painter and decorator with that of an academy that he created with several friends. In 1884 he traveled to Madrid and entered the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, where he was a disciple of Carlos de Haes. In the Prado Museum he admired the great masters of the XVII century, especially Velázquez. On his return to Barcelona in 1889, he suddenly rejected the contracts offered to him, and devoted himself once again to decorative painting. Nevertheless, he took part in some exhibitions, winning prizes such as honorary diplomas in the Barcelona exhibition of 1894 and the National Exhibition of Madrid in 1904. In 1915, at the insistence of Dalmau, Mallol and Jori, he organized his first individual exhibition in the gallery that the former directed in Barcelona. Francesc Gimeno is represented in the Prado Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia and the J. Sala collection.

Est: €5,000 - €6,000
FRANCESC GIMENO I ARASA, (Tortosa, Tarragona, 1858 - Barcelona, 1927). "Forest", 1888. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Size: 65 x 97 cm; 91 x 123 cm (frame). Painter and draughtsman, Francesc Gimeno began his training in Tortosa at the age of fourteen. In 1880 he settled in Barcelona and worked as a decorative painter. At this time, in the face of the undisputed triumph of modernist painting, Gimeno not only kept away from the Catalan artistic scene, but insisted on following in the footsteps of the painters of the Golden Age. Thus, while the usual destination for painters used to be Paris, he travelled to Madrid in 1884. There he worked with Carlos de Haes, a master of realist landscape painting, and devoted himself to studying the works in the Prado Museum, especially those of Velázquez. On his return to Barcelona in 1889, he suddenly rejected the contracts offered to him and returned to decorative painting. Gimeno remained almost always on the fringes of the commercial art world. For most of his life, he kept away from official circles and painted what was closest to him, his family and himself, without ever neglecting landscape painting. He took part in a few exhibitions, winning prizes such as honorary diplomas at the Barcelona exhibition of 1894 and the Madrid National Exhibition of 1904, but his works were frequently rejected by the juries. Critics and the public, accustomed to other types of painting, also rejected his expressive realism, his proletarian subject matter and his strong, thick brushstrokes. Disillusioned, he became even more marginalised from the art world and society in general, and the open, passionate young man, full of enthusiasm, was transformed into a closed, untidy and self-marginalised man. In spite of everything, Gimeno also had a small circle of admirers. The critic Romà Jori, the painter Ignasi Mallol and the gallery owner Josep Dalmau organised the painter's first solo exhibition in 1915. The exhibition was a critical success and for the first time his artistic work was recognised. This marked the beginning of the artist's last period; some sponsorships appeared that freed Gimeno from his work as a painter-decorator and, from then on, he carried out various landscape campaigns. Recognition of Gimeno's work grew in the last years of his life, culminating in the homage paid to him at the Sala Parés at Christmas 1925. The MACBA dedicated an exhibition to him in 1978, and in 2006 the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña held the first truly anthological exhibition devoted to his work. Gimeno is represented in the Museo del Prado, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Museo de Montserrat, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Francisco Godía Foundation and the J. Sala collection, as well as in several important private collections. The scenes painted by Gimeno depict stark reality, without aesthetic concessions, and reveal an extraordinary painter and draughtsman. His work, of a direct and transgressive realism, was outstanding above all for its expressiveness, which dominates the rest of the artistic values. Gimeno always considered himself to be a worker, he never hid his status as a labourer, and neither his figure nor his work fitted in with the bourgeois circles and artistic circles of the time.
