Description from the seller
José Luis Morán (1924)
Portrait of Girls
Large-format work signed by José Luis Morán and dated 1967. The composition represents a portrait of three girls, resolved with loose, luminous brushwork and great pictorial sensitivity.
The scene stands out for the delicate treatment of the faces, the restrained expressiveness of the figures, and the use of a soft palette dominated by blues, whites, pinks and pastel tones. The three girls appear arranged in a vertical composition, with an agile and enveloping pictorial construction, where the background is integrated through patches of color and fluid brushstrokes that bring atmosphere, movement and depth.
The work presents a modern figurative language, close to mid-20th-century portrait painting, with a free and expressive treatment of the pictorial matter. The artist combines a recognizable representation of the figures with a more gestural and atmospheric background, generating an interesting contrast between the definition of the faces and the looseness of the surroundings.
Due to its format, visual presence and decorative quality, it is a work especially suitable for large spaces, collectors of 20th-century Spanish painting, and lovers of intimate figurative portraiture.
The stretcher shows woodworm, an aspect expressly indicated for proper valuation. Because of the work’s large size, it will be sent without a frame.
It is recommended to study the photographs carefully, since they form an essential part of the description and allow for an accurate assessment of the work’s conservation state, as well as the details mentioned regarding the stretcher.
