JOAN LLIMONA BRUGUERA (Barcelona, 1860 - 1926). "Peasant girl". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 130 x 86 cm; 151 x 106 (frame). Frame with flaws and deformations Joan Llimona was born in the bosom of a family of artists, being his brother Josep a famous sculptor also within the modernism. He began studying architecture and engineering, but soon abandoned them for painting, which he perfected at the School of La Lonja, in Barcelona, and later in Rome, where between 1880 and 1882 he accompanied his brother, who had won a scholarship to study sculpture in that city. As early as 1882 he participated in some group exhibitions in Barcelona, which culminated in 1890 in a personal exhibition at the Sala Parés, which was extraordinarily well received. Deeply influenced by his militant Catholicism, which led him to a confrontation with the writer Raimon Casellas, he painted numerous works of religious content, including the vault of the Monastery of Montserrat. Llimona headed the Catholic split within the modernist movement, which materialized in the foundation of the Círculo de Sant Lluc in 1893. In 1896 he won a first medal at the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona. Towards 1905 his work was influenced by symbolism, always with religious roots, which is reflected, for example, in the painting of the dining room of the Casa Recolons in Barcelona. An excellent draughtsman, he oriented his work towards a religious mysticism of great sentimental charge, of careful form and contained expressiveness, deeply evocative. He published several articles in Barcelona magazines and newspapers such as "La veu de Catalunya", "La barretina", "Catalunya social" and others, almost always on aesthetic issues related to his rigid concept of morality and against blasphemy. He was a member of the Lliga del Bon Mot (literally, League of the Good Word), and of Foment de la Pietat Catalana, both associations defending a conservative concept of morality. He carried out important mural commissions for several Catalan churches, and is currently represented in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona and in the Archive-Museum of Ripoll, as well as in important private collections.

Est: €2,000 - €2,500
JOAN LLIMONA BRUGUERA (Barcelona, 1860 - 1926). "Girl by the sea", 1923. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Size: 70 x 103 cm; 83 x 116 cm (frame). In this canvas Joan Llimona captures a clear, ordered and rational composition, of great sobriety, that drinks directly from the influence of the great symbolist masters, key in the development of art since the end of the 19th century in the main European artistic centers. Thus, Llimona shows us an intimate portrait, starring a young woman engrossed in her thoughts, totally oblivious to the presence of the viewer, concentrated, taciturn, whose finesse is determined by the delicate chromatism, which gently shapes the features and builds the space. Joan Llimona was born into a family of artists, his brother Josep was a famous sculptor also within modernism. He began studying architecture and engineering, but soon abandoned them for painting, which he perfected at the School of La Lonja, in Barcelona, and later in Rome, where between 1880 and 1882 he accompanied his brother, who had won a scholarship to study sculpture in that city. As early as 1882 he participated in some group exhibitions in Barcelona, which culminated in 1890 in a personal exhibition at the Sala Parés, which was extraordinarily well received. Deeply influenced by his militant Catholicism, which led him to a confrontation with the writer Raimon Casellas, he painted numerous works of religious content, including the vault of the Monastery of Montserrat. Llimona headed the Catholic split within the modernist movement, which materialized in the founding of the Círculo de Sant Lluc in 1893. In 1896 he won a first medal at the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona. Towards 1905 his work was influenced by symbolism, always with religious roots, which is reflected, for example, in the painting of the dining room of the Casa Recolons in Barcelona. An excellent draughtsman, he oriented his work towards a religious mysticism of great sentimental charge, of careful form and contained expressiveness, deeply evocative. He published several articles in Barcelona magazines and newspapers such as "La veu de Catalunya", "La barretina", "Catalunya social" and others, almost always on aesthetic issues related to his rigid concept of morality and against blasphemy. He was a member of the Lliga del Bon Mot (literally, League of the Good Word), and of Foment de la Pietat Catalana, both associations defending a conservative concept of morality. He carried out important mural commissions for several Catalan churches, and is currently represented in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona and in the Archive-Museum of Ripoll, as well as in important private collections.

ARTIST: JOAN LLIMONA (1860-1926) SIZE: 36 x 55 1/4 in./91.5 x 140.4 cm PRINTER: Madriguera Cortes, Barcelona DESCRIPTION: Garba was a short-lived arts and cultural publication that was active from 1905-1906; it featured short stories, poems, art, and articles, all related to the taste and aesthetics of Modernisme and dedicated to promoting Catalan culture and society. The magazine's illustrators included Adrià Gual, Ricard Opisso, and Joan Llimona, whose creative practice centered largely on religious paintings, and he produced few posters.
