Girona, original oil on canvas (46 x 38 cm) in Cubist style by École Catalane (XX), dating from 1980–1990, hand-signed, country of origin Spain, sold by Galería.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Hand-signed.
- The inspired view of Girona transcends the mere cataloging of the landscape to become a deep meditation on the light and the geometry of northern Catalonia. In the center of the gaze, the unmistakable pointed tower of Sant Feliu rises not only as a historic landmark but as a vertical axis that challenges the horizontality of the densely packed hamlet along the Onyar. The chromatic palette, imbued with that riverine and clean light, bathes the façades reflected in the waters, transforming the traditional typism of the print into a suspended setting where urban reality sheds what is accessory to reveal its purest skeleton.
- It is precisely the sublimation of these Mediterranean shapes, so typical of Catalan architecture, that performs the aesthetic miracle: what at first glance is a picturesque and folkloric scene, is revealed before the eyes of the viewer as an alphabet of cubist architectures. The hanging houses decompose into a superposition of planes, edges and pure volumes that dialogue with each other through color; a frontier lesson hidden in the very heart of tradition where stone, water and the roof abandon their realist servitude to become geometric poetry.
