BIOGRAPHY OF JOAN JOSEP THARRATS (Girona, 1918 - Barcelona, 2001)
Spanish painter and printmaker. He was born in Girona and carried out his early artistic studies in Barcelona, the city where the Civil War surprised him. He was a founding member in 1948 of the group Dau al Set, together with Joan Ponç, Antoni Tàpies, Modest Cuixart, Joan Brossa and Arnau Puig, and he was responsible for editing and directing the magazine of the same name until 1956. Before joining this group, Tharrats’s painting moved through post-impressionist and abstract styles, with clear influences of Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh in the former and Kandinsky, Klee and Mondrian in the latter. After joining Dau al Set he ventured into the world of surrealism and magical abstraction, until he abandoned it in favor of the informalism of large blotches, strong chromatics, and abundant material that characterizes his classic Maculaturas from 1954 onward. In those years, and after the dissolution of Dau al Set, Tharrats also took part in the founding of the Tahüll group (1955) together with Jordi Muxart, Modest Cuixart, Antoni Tàpies and Josep Guinovart, young Catalan painters who moved between abstraction and neo-figurative.) Interested also in graphic design, illustration, the applied arts and the publishing world, Tharrats participated in numerous exhibitions—both solo (since 1950) and group (since 1948)—in the world’s main cities, and his work is exhibited in galleries such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Reina Sofía National Art Museum in Madrid or the Tate Gallery in London, among others. He died on July 5, 2001 in Barcelona.
