École Européene (XX) - Le Jour

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.

- This oil from the late eighties unfolds like a visual score of nostalgia, a palimpsest where modernity cites itself in a banquet of forms and memory. On the pictorial plane, the intellectual rigor of a newspaper rescued from Juan Gris’s still lifes—with its fragmented typography defying space logic—dialogues with the totemic, angular presence of the figures in Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, whose asymmetric gazes continue to dictate the canon of rupture. The composition interlaces with fragments of an almost archaeological analytical cubism, an amalgam of ochre facets and dislocated planes that pay an emotional tribute to Paris of the vanguards, that laboratorio of the spirit where the object was sacrificed on the altar of structure. It is a tribute scented by the history of art, a dance of quotes where the late-century brushstroke does not seek to copy but to evoke with lyricism the clamor of that Bateau-Lavoir that forever changed the way we look at the world.

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original, and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of a deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, characteristics that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces individually created by recognized artists, each with its own history and essence. Originality is the basis of our commitment to excellence and, therefore, every painting or sculpture that is part of our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irrepeatable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will preserve its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work leaving our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. While this is an administrative procedure, it is indispensable to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and irrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Warranty Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and state of conservation. The Warranty Certificate includes complete details about the piece, such as author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Warranty Certificate will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the piece purchased. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by an art historian from our gallery, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to the satisfaction and confidence of our clients, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Warranty Certificate, please contact us through our usual channels.

As experts in art logistics, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transportation, who guarantee the utmost care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transport market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances, such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, adapting to each client’s needs and ensuring that the artwork arrives at its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at the customer’s home, it can be displayed immediately on their wall. Accordingly, no damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will be accepted as valid grounds for a claim or cancellation.
