                Guinovart, Josep - Lithograph Exhibition Poster

                Est: €100 - €200

                Exhibition poster printed as a lithograph by Poligrafa Barcelona - created on the occasion of the exhibition (USA 1978). Josep Guinovart (March 20, 1927 in Barcelona – December 12, 2007 in Barcelona) was a Spanish Catalan painter most famous for his informalist or abstract expressionist work. In 1941, he began to work as a decorator. Three years later, he started his studies at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de la Llotja (Art School of La Llotja) where he stayed until 1946. He first exhibited his work in 1948 in Galerías Syla in Barcelona. In 1951, he produced his first engravings entitled ‘Homage to Federico García Lorca’. Two years later, he was awarded a grant from the French Institute to study in Paris for nine months. Here he discovered the cubist works of Matisse and Picasso and travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. On his return to Barcelona and after a period working as an illustrator and set designer, around 1957 he began moving towards abstract art. His work is highly unconventional and usually on a large scale, using a wide range of materials, three-dimensional objects and organic substances such as eggshell, earth and straw. In 1962, he illustrated a book of poetry entitled ‘Posies’ by Joan Salvat-Papasseit for the Ariel Editorial. He won many accolades for his work throughout the 1970s and 80s. In 1994, a museum foundation dedicated to his art was inaugurated in Agramunt, his mother’s birthplace to which he always felt a special attachment. In 2006 he designed the winery Mas Blanch i Jové in La Pobla de Cérvoles (Lleida) and created The Artists’ Vineyard, a project intended to mix sculptures and other art works from different artists in the middle of a vineyard. The Artists’ Vineyard was inaugurated after his death in 2010 with the unveiling of his sculpture “The Countryside Organ”: a music instrument, 6 meters height, for the wind to sing the vines. This winery also displays the 10,5 meters work “In Vino Veritas” and other artist’s works. He died on 12 December 2007 at the age of 80.

                Est: €5,500 - €6,500

                JOSEP GUINOVART (Barcelona, 1927 - 2007). Untitled, 1985. Mixed media (painting and collage) on paper. Signed and dated in the lower margin. Measurements: 197 x 115 cm; 207 x 126,5 cm (frame). The use of collage linked to experimentation and lyrical abstraction gains ground in Guinovart's paintings of the eighties. He moves away from the informalism of his previous period and approaches an abstraction with musical and poetic latencies. In this composition, this is expressed by the subtle suggestions of stringed instruments and calligraphic signs. Josep Guinovart was trained at the Escuela de Maestros Pintores, at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios and in the classes of the FAD. He exhibited individually for the first time in the Syra galleries in Barcelona in 1948. He immediately acquired a solid prestige, collaborated with Dau al Set and participated in the salons of October, Jazz and Eleven. In the fifties, thanks to a scholarship, he lived in Paris, where he became deeply acquainted with the work of Cézanne and Matisse, who, together with Miró and Gaudí, would be his most important influences. In 1955, together with Aleu, Cuixart, Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats, he formed the Taüll group, which brought together the avant-garde artists of the time. Towards 1957 he began an informalist and abstract tendency, with a strong material presence both by the incorporation of various elements and objects (burnt wood, boxes, waste objects) and by the application of techniques such as collage and assemblage. From the 1960s onwards, he moved away from the informalist poetics and began to create works full of signs and gestures, which contain a strong expressive charge in the lines and colors. During the seventies he systematically used materials such as sand, earth, mud, straw or fiber cement, and in the following decade he focused on experimentation with the three-dimensional projection of his works, which took the form of the creation of environments or spatial environments such as the one entitled Contorn-extorn (1978). Guinovart has a very varied artistic production: mural paintings, sets and theatrical scenery, such as the one made for Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, book illustrations, poster design, tapestries and sculptures. He participated in the Biennials of São Paulo (1952 and 1957), Alexandria (1955) and Venice (1958, 1962 and 1982), and his awards include the City of Barcelona in 1981, the National Plastic Arts in 1990 and the Plastic Arts of the Generalitat in 1990. In 1994 the Guinovart Space was inaugurated in Agramunt, Lérida, a private foundation that has a permanent exhibition of the artist. He is represented in the Museums of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, Madrid and Mexico City, the Museum of Outdoor Sculpture in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, the Museo San Telmo in San Sebastián, the Museo Eusebio Sempere in Alicante, the Museo de Navarra in Tafalla, the Casa de las Américas in Havana, the Bocchum Museum in Germany, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Long Island, New York, and the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid.

Provenance; Private collection Measurements: 154,5 x 120 x 5 cm. The use of assemblage linked to experimentation and lyrical abstraction gains ground in Guinovart's paintings in his last period. He returns to his informalist beginnings, but enriches them by investigating the effects of different procedures on unorthodox supports. The strong contrast between blacks, reds, and whites, curled like unleashed waves, suggest storms and other phenomena in which nature reveals itself in all its fervor. Guinovart abstracted from the observation of nature and reflection on the physical properties of painting a unique visual language. Josep Guinovart was trained at the School of Master Painters, at the School of Arts and Crafts and in the classes of the FAD. He exhibited individually for the first time in the Syra galleries in Barcelona in 1948. He immediately acquired a solid prestige, collaborated with Dau al Set and participated in the salons of October, Jazz and Eleven.

                Est: €5,500 - €6,500

                JOSEP GUINOVART (Barcelona, 1927 - 2007). Untitled, ca. 1980's. Mixed media (painting and collage) on paper. Measurements: 226 x 116 cm; 236 x 126 cm (frame). The painting in question probably dates from the eighties, a particularly experimental period in Guinovart's production. The use of collage and poetic abstraction is characteristic of this period, as well as the preference for sienna, brown and brown tones. It includes subtle synthetic strokes that seem to pay homage to Picasso's post-cubist creatures and, at the same time, the composition (which leaves the upper part empty) indirectly refers to Goya's buried dog. Josep Guinovart was trained at the Escuela de Maestros Pintores, at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios and in the classes of the FAD. He exhibited individually for the first time in the Syra galleries in Barcelona in 1948. He immediately acquired a solid prestige, collaborated with Dau al Set and participated in the salons of October, Jazz and Eleven. In the fifties, thanks to a scholarship, he lived in Paris, where he became deeply acquainted with the work of Cézanne and Matisse, who, together with Miró and Gaudí, would be his most important influences. In 1955, together with Aleu, Cuixart, Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats, he formed the Taüll group, which brought together the avant-garde artists of the time. Towards 1957 he began an informalist and abstract tendency, with a strong material presence both by the incorporation of various elements and objects (burnt wood, boxes, waste objects) and by the application of techniques such as collage and assemblage. From the 1960s onwards, he moved away from the informalist poetics and began to create works full of signs and gestures, which contain a strong expressive charge in the lines and colors. During the seventies he systematically used materials such as sand, earth, mud, straw or fiber cement, and in the following decade he focused on experimentation with the three-dimensional projection of his works, which took the form of the creation of environments or spatial environments such as the one entitled Contorn-extorn (1978). Guinovart has a very varied artistic production: mural paintings, sets and theatrical scenery, such as the one made for Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, book illustrations, poster design, tapestries and sculptures. He participated in the Biennials of São Paulo (1952 and 1957), Alexandria (1955) and Venice (1958, 1962 and 1982), and his awards include the City of Barcelona in 1981, the National Plastic Arts in 1990 and the Plastic Arts of the Generalitat in 1990.

                JOSEP GUINOVART (Barcelona, 1927 - 2007). Untitled, 1977. Oil and collage on uralite. Signed and dated on the lower left. Measurements: 105 x 114 x 9 cm. Josep Guinovart was a born experimenter with forms, textures, supports and languages. This is evident in this composition in which the play of waves in the material is used by the artist to emphasise the effect of collage and fragmentary figures (a head, the wounded body of a bull...) The forms seem to compose and decompose themselves between blinks of an eye, in an orchestrated composition that appeals to the surrounding space. Josep Guinovart trained at the Escuela de Maestros Pintores, at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios and in the classes of the FAD. He had his first solo exhibition at the Syra galleries in Barcelona in 1948. He soon acquired solid prestige, collaborated with Dau al Set and took part in the October, Jazz and Eleven Salons.

In 1955, together with Aleu, Cuixart, Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats, he formed the Taüll group, which brought together the avant-garde artists of the time. Around 1957 he began an informalist and abstract tendency, with a strong material presence both through the incorporation of various elements and objects (burnt wood, boxes, discarded objects) and through the application of techniques such as collage and assemblage. From the 1960s onwards he moved away from the poetics of Informalism and began to produce works full of signs and gestures, which contain a strong expressive charge in the lines and colours. During the 1970s he systematically used materials such as sand, earth, clay, straw and fibre cement, and in the following decade he focused on experimenting with the three-dimensional projection of his works, which took the form of the creation of environments or spatial settings such as the one entitled Contorn-extorn (1978). Guinovart's artistic output is very varied: mural paintings, theatre sets and scenographies, such as the one made for Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, book illustrations, poster design, tapestries and sculptures.

                Exhibition poster printed as a lithograph by Poligrafa Barcelona - created on the occasion of the exhibition (USA 1978). Josep Guinovart (March 20, 1927 in Barcelona – December 12, 2007 in Barcelona) was a Spanish Catalan painter most famous for his informalist or abstract expressionist work. In 1941, he began to work as a decorator. Three years later, he started his studies at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de la Llotja (Art School of La Llotja) where he stayed until 1946. He first exhibited his work in 1948 in Galerías Syla in Barcelona. In 1951, he produced his first engravings entitled ‘Homage to Federico García Lorca’. Two years later, he was awarded a grant from the French Institute to study in Paris for nine months. Here he discovered the cubist works of Matisse and Picasso and travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. On his return to Barcelona and after a period working as an illustrator and set designer, around 1957 he began moving towards abstract art. His work is highly unconventional and usually on a large scale, using a wide range of materials, three-dimensional objects and organic substances such as eggshell, earth and straw. In 1962, he illustrated a book of poetry entitled ‘Posies’ by Joan Salvat-Papasseit for the Ariel Editorial. He won many accolades for his work throughout the 1970s and 80s. In 1994, a museum foundation dedicated to his art was inaugurated in Agramunt, his mother’s birthplace to which he always felt a special attachment. In 2006 he designed the winery Mas Blanch i Jové in La Pobla de Cérvoles (Lleida) and created The Artists’ Vineyard, a project intended to mix sculptures and other art works from different artists in the middle of a vineyard. The Artists’ Vineyard was inaugurated after his death in 2010 with the unveiling of his sculpture “The Countryside Organ”: a music instrument, 6 meters height, for the wind to sing the vines. This winery also displays the 10,5 meters work “In Vino Veritas” and other artist’s works. He died on 12 December 2007 at the age of 80.

                JOSEP GUINOVART (Barcelona, 1927 - 2007). "Pelaires", 1989. Mixed media on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measurements: 145 x 114 cm. In this painting from the eighties, Guinovart visually breaks with the two-dimensionality of the pictorial surface, making shapes, colors and textures collide. Without crossing the limits of abstraction, the organic suggestions gain relief among the reds and the chiaroscuro of blacks and whites embedded in generous matter. Guinovart summons the material chaos and at the same time subjugates it through an intuitively orchestrated composition. The author gives the viewer an image impregnated with lyricism. The material and gestural impulse is subsumed to a great plastic coherence. Josep Guinovart was trained at the Escuela de Maestros Pintores, at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios and in the classes of the FAD. He exhibited individually for the first time in the Syra galleries in Barcelona in 1948. He soon acquired a solid prestige, collaborated with Dau al Set and participated in the salons of October, Jazz and Eleven. In the fifties, thanks to a scholarship, he lived in Paris, where he became deeply acquainted with the work of Cézanne and Matisse, who, together with Miró and Gaudí, would be his most important influences. In 1955, together with Aleu, Cuixart, Muxart, Mercadé, Tàpies and Tharrats, he formed the Taüll group, which brought together the avant-garde artists of the time. Towards 1957 he began an informalist and abstract tendency, with a strong material presence both by the incorporation of various elements and objects (burnt wood, boxes, waste objects) and by the application of techniques such as collage and assemblage. From the 1960s onwards, he moved away from the informalist poetics and began to create works full of signs and gestures, which contain a strong expressive charge in the lines and colors. During the seventies he systematically used materials such as sand, earth, mud, straw or fiber cement, and in the following decade he focused on experimentation with the three-dimensional projection of his works, which took the form of the creation of environments or spatial environments such as the one entitled Contorn-extorn (1978). Guinovart has a very varied artistic production: mural paintings, sets and theatrical scenery, such as the one made for Federico García Lorca's Blood Wedding, book illustrations, poster design, tapestries and sculptures. He participated in the Biennials of São Paulo (1952 and 1957), Alexandria (1955) and Venice (1958, 1962 and 1982), and his awards include the City of Barcelona in 1981, the National Plastic Arts in 1990 and the Plastic Arts of the Generalitat in 1990. In 1994 the Guinovart Space was inaugurated in Agramunt, Lérida, a private foundation that has a permanent exhibition of the artist. He is represented in the Museums of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, Madrid and Mexico City, the Museum of Outdoor Sculpture in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, the Museo San Telmo in San Sebastián, the Museo Eusebio Sempere in Alicante, the Museo de Navarra in Tafalla, the Casa de las Américas in Havana, the Bocchum Museum in Germany, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Long Island, New York, and the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid.
