Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa: Romería, the Gipsy Dance

“Plaintive yet passionate, earthy yet full of grace, the Spanish gitana has been all but synonymous with Spain since her kinsfolk first landed on Iberia’s shores in the fifteenth century from as far afield as India. The Spanish came to revere but also fear gypsies because of their nomadic way of life and the freedoms…

Happy Birthday, Dear One!

You are loved and missed today and every day. ❤️❤️❤️ “A luminous bouquet of fresh dahlias and wild roses radiates against a dark green background to striking, almost abstract effect. An admirer of pyrotechnic displays throughout his life, Anglada Camarasa painted rhythmic, dynamically-extending patterns and bright colours that mimic the configurations of exploding fireworks.” READ…

Evangelina Mascardi: Lute Suite in E Major (Bach)

“Painted in 1925, the present work is an outstanding example of Anglada-Camarasa’s departure from his early depictions of gitanas as the colourfully exotic denizens of the gaudy music halls and cafés-concerts of Paris. From 1907 Anglada-Camarasa began to paint his gitanas in a softer, more vulnerable light, accompanied by small children. Blossoming, vibrant flowers encircle the figures of mother and child, with…

Santiago Rusiñol i Prats: The Girl with Carnation

“From the beginning the light of Sitges dazzled Rusinol’s retina, just like before it blinded Arcadi Mas I Fondevila, Joan Roig I Soler and the rest of the Luminist School painters. That’s why one of the topics that attracted more Rusiñol was precisely the blue patios. Perhaps one of the most famous samples can be…

Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa: Almond Trees, Mallorca

With the outbreak of the First World War, Anglada-Camarasa left Paris for Mallorca. Executed circa 1925 -30, the present scene is a far cry from his charged Parisian night scenes; and yet the radical modern style he developed there – the use of chromatic experimentation, radiant colours and thick impasto – is still very much…

Joaquim Mir: SÓLLER, MALLORCA (c.1901)

  Drawn to the Tramontana mountains’ most inaccessible and least frequented landscapes, Mir explored the drama of the peaks and canyons between Puerto de Sóller and Pollença. The ensuing canvases that he completed of this isolated region reflect an expressive abandon that abstracts the beauty of the landscape, capturing the wild terrain through an explosive range of…

Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa: La Gata Rosa (c.1908)

La Gata Rosa corresponds to this period of large-scale works, having being painted in the usual size for large exhibitions and salons of the time. Here the painter shows us one of his favourite themes in this second Parisian period (1904 – 1914): the female portrait. In this case it is Georgette Leroy, wife of…

Pools – A Poem by Joe Barca — Vita Brevis

Pools Submitted by Joe Barca   I am but water. The puddle of last night’s shower. I live for an hour or two. Until the sunshine absorbs me. I am the ocean for children in Wellington boots. For earthworms. And for the descent of errant swallows. I am pavement’s liquid memory. I……… Continue via Pools…
