CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Expressionist painting", 1961. Oil on canvas. Signed on the lower left, titled and dated on the back. Presents dirt, damage and xylophages in the wooden frame. Measurements: 150 x 169 cm; 153 x 173 cm (frame). We are before a singular canvas not only for the magnificent contagion of hedonistic sensations that Tarrassó awakens in us with his vibrant palette, but also for the peculiarity of having portrayed himself in the lower left part. Tarrassó has silhouetted himself before his easel, painting the colorful landscape with houses. His figure, subtle and outlined in black, does not impose itself on the environment, but neither does it blend in with it. We have the feeling that he remains on another plane of reality, like a spectral presence, like the hidden genius or the demiurge who creates with his imagination this overflowing nature: waterways in lapis lazuli tones, whitewashed houses of intense yellow, an olive green for the foliage. Tarrassó displays his usual skill to express the "joie de vivre" through a unique chromatic and formal symphony. He flirts with abstraction, revolutionizing the forms but without diluting them completely, so that we can immerse ourselves in those splendorous fields that grow around a mountain village. He explores, using a quick and intuitive stroke, the concomitances between the colors of fauve heritage, textures and emotions. Known simply as Tarrassó, he trained at the La Lonja School in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic scene at the time. He was above all a brilliant landscape painter, with a style characterized by its violent and vivid colors, very luminous. He followed in the footsteps of the great Catalan landscape painters, especially Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact that Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated the still life and the Catalan and Majorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928, at the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona. Since then his exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao followed one after the other. In 1935 he visited Mallorca for the first time, and from 1940 he had a studio there, specifically in Palma, where he lived for long periods and developed most of his artistic production. After the Civil War, during the forties, Tarrassó took part in several National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in their editions of 1942, 1943 and 1950, and held many personal exhibitions in Barcelona, in galleries such as Augusta, Layetanas, Ars, etc., among them the one he held of Pyrenean landscapes in 1948, and the one of large canvases of Mallorcan landscapes that he presented in 1949. Although the landscape was always the center of his production, Tarrassó also made works such as the mural decoration of the church of Santa Maria de Badalona. In Mallorca he also carried out a singular undertaking, planting his easel in the Caves of Campanet to capture the stalactites and stalagmites of its stony cavities, developing a series of works that he presented at the Galerías Costa de Palma in October 1948. Throughout his career Tarrassó was awarded the Pollença Prize at the 1st International Painting Competition in 1962; the Santiago Rusiñol Prize in 1972; and the medals obtained in various editions of the Autumn Salons of Palma de Mallorca: first prize in 1967 and 1973, and honorary prize in 1970. Tarrassó's work is characterized by the great personality of his coloring. His obsession for chromatism determines a deeply sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. He is represented in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Artistic Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma. It presents dirt, damages and xylophages in the wooden frame.

CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Sensitive creations", 1972. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner; titled and dated on the back.
Est: €25,000 - €30,000
CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Sensitive creations", 1972. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner; titled and dated on the back. Measurements: 150 x 150 cm; 154 x 154 cm (frame). In this colorful and vibrant canvas, Tarrassó displays his usual skill to express hedonistic sensations through a unique chromatic and formal symphony. A large house and a palm tree occupy the center of a landscape that, despite being abstract, leads us to imagine a splendorous meadow bathed in bright light. With his palette dominated by glaucous and mauve tones, in contrast with warm yellow and earthy tones, he succeeds in provoking an emotional response in the viewer. Enveloping brushstrokes are entangled with each other to suggest cottony clouds, dense bushes and wooded landscapes. Using a swift and intuitive stroke, he explores the concomitances between colors of Fauve heritage, textures and emotions. Known simply as Tarrassó, he studied at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic scene at the time.

CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Mountain landscape". Oil on tablex. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 16 x 20 cm; 43 x 48 cm (frame). In this tablex Tarrassó captures a landscape built in depth with his personal language based on color spots of Fauvist heritage. The vivid chromatism responds to a careful and thoughtful study, based on the juxtaposition of mainly cold tones, some brighter and others darker to reinforce the three-dimensional construction of space. Known simply as Tarrassó, he trained at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic scene at the time.

CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Sarrià, Barcelona, 1898 - Barcelona, 1980). "Gypsy family". Oil on táblex. Signed in the upper left corner.
Est: €1,800 - €2,200
CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Sarrià, Barcelona, 1898 - Barcelona, 1980). "Gypsy family". Oil on táblex. Signed in the upper left corner. Measurements: 22 x 26,5 cm; 41,5 x 46,5 cm (frame). Known simply as Tarrassó, he was formed in the School of La Lonja of Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian art scene at the time. This Fauve influence will continue to be palpable in his work throughout his life in features such as the strong chromatic contrast, the high and somewhat exaggerated perspective, the absolute disinterest in the human figure, which appears only sketched as a complement to the landscape, and the representation of trees as electrified, subjected to tortuous inclinations. It is these formal features that give his works a vitality of their own and reduce his connection with the referential to a mere pretext. Tarrassó followed in the wake of the great Catalan landscape painters, focusing especially on Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact that Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated the still life and the Catalan and Majorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928, at the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona. Since then his exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao followed one after the other.

Tarrassó's work is characterized by the great personality of his coloring. His obsession for chromatism determines a deeply sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. In many of his works, the painter focuses above all on capturing an image that stages the fullness of life recreated and without solution of continuity, worrying more about it than about the demands of the composition. Thus, in his landscapes the architectures appear fully integrated in a harmonious nature, as simple spots of color with undefined limits, or with defined but deformed limits. In this way Tarrassó suggests the human presence and, at the same time, prevents the viewer from perceiving it as an intervention or a rupture of the natural whole. On the other hand, the perspectives, very high or very low, combined with a combination of contracted colors, without mixing mountain and sky, sky and sea, provide a sense of depth, and sometimes even oppression, which leads the viewer to conceive the scene as an autonomous whole, regardless of details. On the other hand, it is also worth mentioning at a formal level his vigorous workmanship, combined with thick spatula, which refers to another Catalan master landscape painter to whom Tarrassó is indebted, Nicolás Raurich. His work is currently preserved in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Artistic Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma.

Thus, in his landscapes, architectures appear fully integrated into a harmonious nature, as simple patches of colour with undefined limits, or with defined but deformed limits. In this way Tarrassó suggests the human presence and, at the same time, prevents the viewer from perceiving it as an intervention or a rupture in the natural setting. On the other hand, the perspectives, very high or very low, combined with a combination of contracted colours, without mixing mountain and sky, sky and sea, provide a sensation of depth, and sometimes even of oppression, which leads the spectator to conceive the scene as an autonomous whole, regardless of details. On the other hand, it is also worth mentioning his vigorous execution, combined with the thick spatula, which refers to another Catalan master landscape painter to whom Tarrassó is indebted, Nicolás Raurich. His work is currently held in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Art Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma.

Est: €6,500 - €7,500
CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Barcelona, 1898 - 1980). "Cala Lluch Alcari", Majorca. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower area. Signed and titled on the back. Measurements: 92 x 73 cm; 107 x 90 cm (frame). In this canvas Tarrassó depicts a landscape constructed in depth with his personal language based on colour stains of Fauvist heritage. Thus, in the foreground he depicts a village dotted with little white houses, which guide our gaze towards a coastal nook in intense turquoise blue, after which the chromatic planes follow one after the other until we reach the background, enclosed by green tones. The vivid chromaticism is the result of a careful and thoughtful study, based on the juxtaposition of mainly cold tones, some brighter and others darker, to reinforce the three-dimensional construction of the space. Known simply as Tarrassó, he trained at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic scene at the time. He was above all a brilliant landscape painter, with a style characterised by its violent, vivid and very luminous colours. He followed in the footsteps of the great Catalan landscape painters, particularly Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated still lifes and Catalan and Mallorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928 at the Galerías Layetanas in Barcelona. From then on he held exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao. In 1935 he visited Mallorca for the first time, and from 1940 onwards he had a studio there, specifically in Palma, where he lived for long periods and where he developed most of his artistic production. After the Civil War, during the 1940s, Tarrassó took part in several National Fine Arts Exhibitions in 1942, 1943 and 1950, and held a number of personal exhibitions in Barcelona, in galleries such as Augusta, Layetanas, Ars, etc., among them the one he held of Pyrenean landscapes in 1948, and the one of large canvases of Mallorcan landscapes that he presented in 1949. Although landscape was always the focus of his production, Tarrassó also produced works such as the mural decoration of the church of Santa Maria in Badalona. He also undertook a singular undertaking in Mallorca, setting up his easel in the Campanet Caves to capture the stalactites and stalagmites of its stony cavities, developing a series of works that he presented at the Galerías Costa in Palma in October 1948. Throughout his career Tarrassó was awarded the Pollença Prize at the 1st International Painting Competition in 1962; the Santiago Rusiñol Prize in 1972; and the medals obtained at various editions of the Salones de Otoño (Autumn Salons) in Palma de Mallorca: first prize in 1967 and 1973, and the medal of honour in 1970. Tarrassó's work is characterised by the great personality of his colouring. His obsession for chromatism determines a profoundly sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. He is represented in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Artistic Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma.

CASIMIRO MARTÍNEZ TARRASSÓ (Sarrià, Barcelona, 1898 - Barcelona, 1980). "La caseta groga", Deyá. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, titled and located on the back. Measurements: 41 x 33 cm; 62 x 54 cm (frame). Known simply as Tarrassó, he was formed in the School of La Lonja of Barcelona. He completed his studies in Paris, where he had first-hand knowledge of the Fauvist works that were shaking the Parisian artistic environment at the time. This Fauve influence will continue to be palpable in his work throughout his life in features such as the strong chromatic contrast, the high and somewhat exaggerated perspective, the absolute disinterest in the human figure, which appears only sketched as a complement to the landscape, and the representation of trees as electrified, subjected to tortuous inclinations. It is these formal features that give his works a vitality of their own and reduce his connection with the referential to a mere pretext. Tarrassó followed in the wake of the great Catalan landscape painters, focusing especially on Joaquín Mir, although with a clearly differentiated personality due in part to the impact that Fauvism had on his artistic thinking. He cultivated the still life and the Catalan and Majorcan landscapes. He held his first exhibition in 1928, at the Layetanas Galleries in Barcelona. Since then his exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao followed one after the other. In 1935 he visited Mallorca for the first time, and from 1940 he had a studio there, specifically in Palma, where he lived for long periods and developed most of his artistic production. After the Civil War, during the forties, Tarrassó took part in several National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in their editions of 1942, 1943 and 1950, and held many personal exhibitions in Barcelona, in galleries such as Augusta, Layetanas, Ars, etc., among them the one he held of Pyrenean landscapes in 1948, and the one of large canvases of Mallorcan landscapes that he presented in 1949. Although the landscape was always the center of his production, Tarrassó also made works such as the mural decoration of the church of Santa Maria de Badalona. In Mallorca he also carried out a singular undertaking, planting his easel in the Caves of Campanet to capture the stalactites and stalagmites of its stony cavities, developing a series of works that he presented at the Galerías Costa de Palma in October 1948. Throughout his career Tarrassó was awarded the Pollença Prize at the 1st International Painting Competition in 1962; the Santiago Rusiñol Prize in 1972; and the medals obtained in various editions of the Autumn Salons of Palma de Mallorca: first prize in 1967 and 1973, and honorary prize in 1970. Tarrassó's work is characterized by the great personality of his coloring. His obsession for chromatism determines a deeply sensorial, vitalist and intuitive painting. In many of his works, the painter focuses above all on capturing an image that stages the fullness of life recreated and without solution of continuity, worrying more about it than about the demands of the composition. His work is currently preserved in various national and international private collections, as well as in the Museum and Artistic Fund of Porreras (Mallorca) and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma.
