AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Engraving by Ripollés, hand-painted and signed, made in the Más de Flors workshop on Arches paper
Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés— was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother during childbirth led him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he collected horse manure, he was a scrap dealer and a heavy-handed painter, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that’s where he achieved it.
Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouant David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since his return to Spain in the sixties, his workshop is nature itself.
Today, at 92 years old, it still is: he paints in the orchard of his manor in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón.
During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing.
His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch or Beijing.
