    JOAN MASSANET (L'Armentera, 1899 – L'Escala, 1969). Untitled, 1961. Mixed technique on tablex. Signed and dated on the back.

    Est: €3,000 - €4,000

    JOAN MASSANET (L'Armentera, 1899 - L'Escala, 1969). Untitled, 1961. Mixed media on tablex. Signed and dated on the back. Size: 72 x 90 cm; 81 x 100 cm (frame). In this work the author uses an abstract language, based on irregular geometry, with an organic character both in its outline and in the colours. It is an open style, whose basic characteristic is the conception of the pictorial surface as a whole, as an open field, without limits and without hierarchy. Thus, as we see here, the pictorial forms are the result of a thought-out composition and experimentation, with an image of a gestural nature, not limited to a composition, but going beyond it, indicating to the spectator that it is about forms, ideas or suggestions that go beyond the frontiers of the purely pictorial. Joan Massanet studied pharmacy in Barcelona and later obtained a doctorate in that discipline in Madrid. However, his education during his childhood and youth, marked by a liberal atmosphere, led to a great interest on the part of Joan Massanet in culture and especially in the artistic world, which he approached in a self-taught manner. His artistic education was forged through magazines such as Minotaure and visits to the most important museums on the entire European continent. Aesthetically, his work was close to surrealism, with a highly poetic and symbolic language. In 1936 Massanet was a founding member and participant in the First Salon of Independent Artists at the Dalmau Galleries in Barcelona, and that same year he was included in the Logicofobist Exhibition organised by ADLAN (Friends of the New Arts) at the premises of the Librería Catalònia. After the war his painting was strongly affected, so that his style became more dramatic and expressive. However, from the 1960s onwards his aesthetic was based on experimentation with matter and its tactile qualities, introducing elements such as sand, wood, fabrics and sands.
