AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Figurative scene by Montserrat Barta Prats depicting two young people resting in a forest environment.
Oil on canvas.
Signed by the artist.
Work: 38 × 46.5 cm (15 × 18.3 in.). Framed: 64 × 72 cm (25.2 × 28.3 in.).
Original painting by the Catalan artist Montserrat Barta Prats (Barcelona, 1906–1988), portraying an intimate scene of two youths resting among the vegetation.
The composition stands out for its serene, decorative atmosphere, with the female figures reclining beneath the trees and surrounded by abundant vegetation. The loose, matter-rich brushwork, together with a palette of deep greens, pinks, creams and warm tones, brings luminosity and movement to the scene.
Montserrat Barta Prats was a painter and draftsman trained at the Fine Arts School in Barcelona. She began working in children's illustration around 1940 and later devoted herself fully to easel painting, working with pastels,watercolors and oil.
She held solo exhibitions in Barcelona, Valencia, San Sebastián, Bilbao and Madrid, among other cities. Within her oeuvre, dance and ballet scenes gained particular importance, characterized by the dynamic treatment of the figures and by backgrounds rich in transparencies, overlays and pictorial effects. on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona she received a silver medal in recognition of her artistic work related to ballet.
Signed by the artist and presented in an elaborate golden frame.
